Can I Run After Effects on 4GB RAM?

 Adobe After Effects is a powerful motion graphics and compositing software program that is widely used by professionals in the film, television, and video game industries. However, After Effects is a demanding program that requires a significant amount of system resources.

The minimum system requirements for After Effects are as follows:

  • Processor: 64-bit Intel or AMD multicore processor with 2 GHz or faster
  • RAM: 8GB of RAM (16GB recommended)
  • Operating System: Windows 10 (64 bit) or macOS Mojave (10.14)
  • Storage: 2GB of available disk space
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon R7 360x with 2GB of VRAM

As you can see, Adobe recommends that you have at least 8GB of RAM to run After Effects. With only 4GB of RAM, you will likely experience slow performance and may even crash the program.

If you are serious about using After Effects, I highly recommend that you upgrade your RAM to at least 8GB. You will also want to make sure that you have a powerful enough processor and graphics card to run the program smoothly.

Here are a few tips for running After Effects on 4GB of RAM:

  • Close all other programs before running After Effects.
  • Use a lower resolution preview.
  • Work with smaller files.
  • Clear your cache frequently.

If you are still having trouble running After Effects, you may want to consider using a cloud-based alternative, such as Adobe Premiere Rush or DaVinci Resolve. These programs are not as powerful as After Effects, but they are less demanding on your system resources.

Conclusion

While it is technically possible to run After Effects on 4GB of RAM, it is not recommended. You will likely experience slow performance and may even crash the program. If you are serious about using After Effects, I highly recommend that you upgrade your RAM to at least 8GB.
