PP1.5 is extremely unstable
Help,
I have been using PP1.5 for about a month. As time has gone by, I have gotten more sophisticated in its use. At the same time PP1.5 has become more and more unstable. Last night, I was editing my current project with 3 time synched video tracks. I was razor blading accross all tracks to delete out the views I did not want. If I did two cuts in a row, PP1.5 would freeze. I could only continue by rebooting the computer. If I saved the project between every edit I could get 10-15 edits before it would barf.
Should I just bite the bullet and re-install the entire video suite? Anybody else experience this? This is soooooooooo frustrating as I just left Pinnacle because it was so unstable!

As I’ve said many times on this forum use FreeRAM XP or use the Task Manager (performance tab) to see if you are running out of ram at that point.

What kind of video are you editing?

I have 2 gig of ram installed. I have a 2gig P4 processor. I guess I could be running low on RAM. I will take your suggestions and monitor it use.
I am editing NTSC DV footage. Most were captured direct from my miniDV camera, one source was digitized to DV from an analog 8mm camera.
I just checked the XML-ish project file for any obvious signs of corruption. None. I will also try the import of project into project trick to see if that clears the issue.
Thanks for the help. Keep the ideas comming!

I believe that I have licked this problem. It would appear the PP1.5 project file was somehow corrupted. I did the “import into a new project” trick, and this SEEMS to have fixed the problem.
