It would help if you could provide more information on what you mean
here. Does cpptraj print a warning/error message? Does it crash?

There is actually a third option - you can use the 'loadtraj' command
to load your frames as a trajectory (TRAJ) data set, which functions
like a coordinates (COORDS) data set except everything is kept
on-disk. The 'loadtraj' command can be used to make a TRAJ data set
out of existing 'trajin' entries, or can be used to load a trajectory
separately. The only limitation is that all trajectories in a TRAJ
data set must correspond to the same topology file. So you could do
for example:
parm myparm.parm7
trajin traj1.nc
trajin traj2.nc
loadtraj name crd1
cluster crdset crd1 <more cluster options>
See the Amber 15 manual section 29.4 for more on using coordinates as
data sets in cpptraj. Note that you will still need enough memory to
store the pairwise distance matrix, so you may need to use the 'sieve'
option as well depending on how much memory you have available.
Hope this helps,
