Live 11 video crashes on save

Post by EmotiveMusic » Thu Sep 23, 2021 5:55 pm

Hey guys,

I'm composing a short film here and I'm noticing that Live crashes every time I save. I've tried updating CODECs and compressing the mp4 so it's easier for LIVE. Compression seemed to help the workflow some, but it didn't solve the crashing.

I do have this issue with other shorter commercial projects, but it's not as consistent— which leads me to believe it has something to do in part with the length of the video. If I remove the video from the project, the project doesn't crash on save. The issue is repeatable, and I've tried both 24 and 29.97fps.

My specs are Ryzen 5950x, 128gb RAM, M2 SSD. What can I do to solve this?

Thank you!

Live doesn't like .mp4.
PhotoJPEG has always been the easiest one to work with :wink:
