Sony Movie Studio 13 keeps freezing and or crashing?

[Jeff David]

Wow the other day I got the black screen of death when I was editing SONY MS 13!!!

It should be ok as when I finish editing for the day I always resave my project under a slightly different name.

And of course, SONY autosaves every 5 minutes so the most you can lose is 5 minutes. But luckily all of my clips were there when I went back to the previous save so no harm done but it’s pretty scary I keep thinking one day the entire project will just be lost and won’t be able to be restored or retrieved.

I sent a ticket into SONY but quite frankly, it’s time consuming to try to figure out why this stuff happens. I prob should find out for future knowledge but I just keep editing for now.

It was odd as half of my clips were still visible/there on the timeline but another half were just black in the preview window.

I live in fear. That thing with SERIF MOVIE PLUS could have been catastrophic had I not found out about SONY and that I could save small segments from SERIF and then import to SONY.
