Low on Memory?! Cant save!

Got this message when saving:

The project file could not be saved.

Your system appears to be low on memory. Please close any other programs and try again.

I have 12GB RAM, 3GB used 8GB Free!

What should I do, don't want to redo that whole section again...

My project is 108 slides comprising of lots of quiz questions, 8 sections

  • Still getting this in 2024. On a 32Gb RAM machine. I Save-as constantly, but eventually it fails and I lose work and have to restart. Very disappointing. I contacted support who said "Don't leave the application open too long" (!) They suggested I copy all the slides to a new project, which was a lot of work, and did not help. I assume it's some kind of memory-leak bug but hard to isolate. Anyone got any theories? Seems that if I tear off the timeline window and put on my 2nd monitor, I get the issue soon after? Any other ideas? I'm on a corporate locked-down PC so all the suggestions of registry hacks and patches are not an option, but likewise, I'm sure it's not a virus. The 64-bit Storyline beta looks interesting but not available to me. I can't even get the latest main release!

      Are you using Storyline 360? The 64bit version is now the default. You can check by going to help, should have x64 on the splash screen
