I’ve had projects crash at a certain point and in my case I’ve found it’s been because there was a corrupt file or some error like that on my timeline. Anyway, one good way to render a large project that you’re having trouble with is to render it in smaller MXF file format sections. Then once all the sections are rendered, put them back on the timeline and render them again. Using the MXF format, you won’t loose any quality.
