Windows run out of memory when rendering video

When I am making a gaming video. Windows ran out of memory even when it have 25% free of 8 gb ram. During half of exporting the video, a pop up appeared that Your PC is running out of memory, I dismissed it and opened task manager with ctrl + shift + esc to check, there is at least 1.5gb of ram left

Laptop specs

i5-7200u Kaby Lake (Kaby Lake series are Optimized for Video Rendering)

8gb ddr4 ram

1TB HDD

AMD Radeon M430

Intel HD Graphics 620

Lenovo Yoga 510-14IKB

As you can see, the graphics cards are quite underpowered, but thats not a problem. Then, the second time the pop-up appeared,i dismissed it again and Windows Just FORCE-CLOSED Adobe Photoshop CC!!! (RAGE!!!) And I lost all my progress making the video, can someone please give me a satisfactory answer why on earth does it happen and how to stop this in the future.

Did I read right, you are using Adobe Photoshop to make a video?

Are you sure it's not Adobe AfterEffects or Premier Pro . . .

Either way, you should probably reduce the resolution or bit-rate of the output video to reduce the amount of RAM required. Adobe Apps are particularly memory intensive, the only other option is to install more RAM, 8GB is not really enough for rendering high quality video

YES you read RIGHT, Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 have video editing features. I'm lazy to install Adobe Premier Pro, so I used Adobe Photoshop CC as of now. I don't know, I could easily render 1080x720 video in the past on my laptop. I even rendered a 15 minute 4k video in the past.

Have you tried to change your graphic settings to optimize performance? You may also do that in Windows, press Windows key + S and type Appearance. Select Adjust appearance and performance of Windows > Visual Effects tab> Adjust for best performance > Apply > OK. Restart your device.

To get where John Ado suggested, go to Control Panel - System

On the left click 'Advanced System Settings'

Then, under performance, click Settings

There you will find that setting . . .

Hello,

After reading through the thread seems that some changes were made prior to the issue. Assuming that an update for Adobe Photoshop CC was recently installed, have you tried contacting their support regarding this?

If you've allocated 100% of the resources to Adobe PS, the computer has nothing to operate with, which could lead to the issue you're having at the moment.

It would be best to check with their software developers for a more established workaround.

Let us know if you have other concerns.

Regards.
