I just struggled with this problem, too.

I fixed my permisssions, moved some fonts, reinstalled Blackmagic drivers… nothing helped. One thing I did notice is that I was in a DVCPRO HD 24p sequence, which I rarely use. So I tried Apple ProRes and it worked fine. Back to DVCPRO HD 60p, crashed. So I made my text while in ProRes and put it in the bin. Then I switched to DVCPRO HD 24p, made a new sequence, dragged it in and rendered it. No time to play with it more, already wasted lots of time but this will keep me going for now.

Hope this helps!
