Hi Craig,
It had nothing to do with the clip which was a 1280×720 HD clip from our JVC GY-HM700u camera. I’m using the same MacBook Pro that I have been editing on since in was bought new a little over a year ago. It was just that vignette effect. What bothers me so much about it is that there was no way to delete the effect or the clip. Selecting it cause the program to crash every time. That’s a serious 1.0 bug. Can you imagine getting near your deadline and that happening? That alone scares me with this app. I had such high hopes.
