@Robert Wentz,
Ok, I followed your advice. Only way to tell if it works is as I continue on projects.
With regards to your question about “different types of footage,” perhaps I could have been more clear.
I have a new client for whom I need to create cuts from footage with a variety of frame rates and dimensions. At first, I thought that was the culprit. So
I tried the workaround of rendering my sequences, but crash problem still persisted.
In addition, when I have consistent footage, let’s say from a Canon 5D, and a sequence that exactly matches the source footage, the crashing has also happened then, though not so frequently.
Assuming that the mixed frame rate/dimensions are at least a partial cause of the problem, what would you recommend? Should I transcode beforehand, and to what? and through what (in your opinion) is the most efficient method?
In any event, thanks for the advice. I’ll keep you informed.
