Justin has more domain knowledge on this than I do, but as far as I can tell macos has the maximum open filehandle limit as a kernel parameter.

Windows does not have such a limit. Some run-time libraries may have limits, but we don't use them.


As for 6136 vs 10240 vs 12288, you may be hitting the systemwide limit due to other applications running, or there may be additional file handles open besides the media in the project (plugins, samples, etc). But your problem is almost certainly that the computer is simply running out of resources. Anything you can do to significantly reduce the number of individual media files (gluing, rendering, etc) will help.
