Crashes while saving

[Mike Velte]

Memory is likely an issue, but using the same project file over and over sounds like a recipe for suicide. After completing week 1 you should have “saved as ” week 2, then for week 3, reopen week 1 and “save as” week 3. This process will avoid having an incredibly large project file.

I am doing a “save as” for each week, but I don’t go back to the first week cause I am always adding video clips & sequences. I also don’t want to delete any of the sequences cause I am often going back to previous weeks and pulling out parts for repeated segments for the current week.

My most recent project file is about 190MB. It has about 20 30 min sequences and about 5,000 clips in assorted bins (most are about 5sec each). I am sure I can clean up some of the bins but the library video is extremely important.

Any ideas?

190 MB project file is extremely large! You have too many eggs in that basket. Without looking at your project it is difficult to make suggestions, but you cannot continue on that path without hitting a brick wall if you have not already…

Thanks for there help. It seems like it could be a mixture of things, but does anyone know why it is only crashing when I attempt to save and at no other time? Is this a memory issue, external drive, or something else?

Thanks!

I solved this really annoying problem by creating a brand new project in which I imported the sequence I was working to.

Unfortunately I had to link the media that went offline and render the whole sequence. Besides this minor issue, now I can save my project just fine
