AquaSoft Stages is available as a 64-bit application.

The number of pixels is critical

The size of the images which can still be processed is dependent upon the memory fragmentation.
It is not critical how much space takes up an image on the hard drive. Its file size may for example be relatively low by strong compression. What counts is the number of pixels. It is this, multiplied by four, which gives the number of bytes which this image requires in RAM memory. In addition, the number of effects used and the number of tracks visible at the same time determines the memory capacity.

If you are having problems with memory usage and you are not using strong zooms or camera pans, we recommend that, before using the images in AquaSoft Stages that you reduce the resolution of the intended playback medium.
