Hi Peter,

I think I followed the instructions – but tell me if I got it wrong! I think this is the relevant part of the crash log, although there are quite a few crash logs to choose from ( I chose at random):

Thanks Eric, I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I think you’re right that the memory is an issue, and I am now looking at upgrade possibilities and will be now facing the Mac v PC issue.
I found a crazy workaround for now, that involved importing the sequence into After Effects and then re-exporting only the section I need back to Prem Pro. I had to redo all the transitions and effects, but it is no longer crashing for now – a result that will carry me through tomorrow. But the real issue is probably my old mac running short of memory and corrupting files (it’s my best guess). I need 4k editing capabilities which I don’t currently have, so a new system is on the cards (bank allowing).

Best,

Cassian
