Are you importing the 30 or so images into 30 members, or into one? If you're importing into 30, and then processing 30 to external files, why not change to importing into one, process one, and then do the next? That would save 29 images worth of memory.
How do you make them into a video? Are you using key frames? Maybe you shouldn't. If you're playing them back as images, are you loading them into 30 members to get good playback? How about using a RAM disk and loading them via one member? It might sound like that's the same amount of memory, but they would be JPEG sized on a RAM disk, and full 32 bit size as separate members. I can't remember all the details from when you first talked about this project, is there anything else you can tell us to make it clearer what's going on?
