Out of memory error

I have been using the wick editor for 2 months now, and I am getting a very frequent error when I make an animation more than 1 minute long. Wick starts to lag and then the tab turns white-ish gray and an error pops up saying : “Out of memory”. When I click refresh, the page deletes what I have animated so I have to use a saved file. The problem is, in order to prevent this, I have to save every 3 minutes which is extremely annoying and takes up a ton of time. The error shows more frequently the longer my animation is. Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this? I want to make longer animations and use the wick editor, but I might have to find a different platform if I want to bypass this error.

that’s bad

well i make more than one minute long animations, but usually i split it into a new file when a transition occurs (usually at 1 minute) because of what i heard happens when you make long animations, so i never encountered this error. good thing you can copy+paste across tabs

I might have to try that, but I hope there is some way Wick can fix this error.

Hey @hambreyola, I believe that a number of these memory issues should be fixed in the upcoming 1.19 release.

The 1.18 version of the editor had a few bugs that makes tons of copies of items that aren’t necessary!

I’d give 1.19 a shot for now on test.wickeditor.com and see if the problem is helped a bit. Otherwise, I’d love if you could send over a copy of your project so I can test and fix the error.

A way to counter this error is to split the project into smaller projects and put it all back together using editing software.

Ah ok, I thought that might work. I wanted to confirm with others and see if they also had the same error.

I will try out the 1.19 and see if that helps. Thanks!

(If it doesn’t help I will send over a copy of my project)

Hey @Luxapodular, the 1.19 update fixed the issue I was getting! Thanks for working hard on the 1.19 update. Great job with the autosave too!

(This bug may still happen with animations more than ten minutes long but I think you fixed it)
