I have a Mac Studio M4 Max with 36 GB Memory. Using Topaz Video for 3 months with no problem. In the last week every time I try to use the program it starts OK then always ends up failing and states " Run out of Application Memory" I've cleared all caches, ran "sudo purge" in terminal but to no joy. Can anyone help me sort out this problem please?

Consider downloading and running this little "discovery" utility, Etrecheck. It changes NOTHING. Etrecheck was developed by a senior contributor here, and uses mostly system calls and simple tests to collect often-needed information.
it contains little tests for speeds of devices, CPU utilization, memory usage, energy usage and a digest of recent problems, in one easy to use package. it does not even need to be Installed. Because less can be learned when your Mac is running great, best time to run is when your problems are actually occurring, if possible.
if you follow the directions faithfully, its report (pre-laundered of all personally-identifiable information) can be "Shared" to the System ClipBoard, then Pasted into an ‘Additional Text’ window in a reply on the forums.

The amount of data you get can be daunting. If you POST your report, some Readers here are willing to look over those reports, and can provide valuable insights.

1) That warning sounds more like low Storage Space, than Random Access Memory.
To check for available Storage Space > Free up storage space on Mac - Apple Support
To check Memory (RAM) > Check if your Mac needs more RAM in Activity Monitor - Apple Support
2) There are security and fixes in later macOS versions. If you are still on Sequoia 15.6...
Update to Sequoia 15.7.2 > What's new in the updates for macOS Sequoia - Apple Support
Or.. do the Upgrade to Tahoe 26.1 > What's new in the updates for macOS Tahoe - Apple Support
Late Edit: I didn't see Grant's reply, but also recommend using EtreCheckPro.
Application Memory running out with Topaz Video
