When working with complex shots, you might end up dealing with several caches.
The cache manager will help you handle them to keep efficient performances.

The Cache manager displays the loaded caches in the top list; it also shows the loaded frames and the memory in use by each cache. You can load caches in two ways:

by assigning a cache to a cacheReader module or to an AtomsProxy
by pressing the "Load Cache button", you will then be able to select a cache and load straight away a frame range from it.

The cache manager also allows you to remove caches with the "Remove Selected Caches" and "Clear All" buttons.

Finally, you can also provide a Max Memory limit so that you don't end up filling your computer RAM.

When caches are loaded in memory, they are much faster to access.

Each cache will always have at least one frame in memory, no matter if the max memory limit is already reached.
