Is this in relation to your 3 section project which you commented on here or the topic here for which you never came back with the requested information?

Out of memory messages errors are usually what they say, the program or Windows has run out of available memory, this could be due to the computer not having enough memory, memory leakage, other software taking up memory, the computer being hibernated instead of a full shutdown or the project is too big and the computer has run out of disc space for caching and page swapping.

We do need the information I requested, otherwise we are just guessing - it is a good idea to put your computer spec and software name and version in your signature so that we do not have to keep asking for it.

There is a lot of info in your signature that is not relevant, from the above can you update the signature to:

HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710MQ, RAM 12.0 GB, Microsoft Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.16299 Build 16299

also add in the type and size of hard drive/ssd drive and the free space.

I presume you mean this is the multi timeline project.

We need the hard drive information, however I suspect that the project is so large that the PC is actually running out of memory, unfortunately does not tell you how big the project is, ie the number of video or image clips it contains and how many timelines are present.
