Have you disabled GPU?
"CRASH" is a pop culture term that means nothing.
Please provide complete details of your issue if you would like assistance.

Give us your system details? Have you tried the BCC stabilizer (Free plugin with the suite if that is what you have). Works with my Gx8 4K stuff. Although I have mercalli v4.0 and if you really need stabilization IMHO that is the way to go.

How much free disk space? Cooling? Gives us the info and we might be able to help.

My computer is about four years old self built, MSI p55-gd65 mainboard, 2.8ghz i7-860, 16gb ram, AMD Radeon HD 5770 gpu, C drive is 60gb ssd (1gb free, movie studio is installed here), Project & Cache & media folders are on a 1tb WD Caviar Black HDD (aprox over 500gb free), case is antec sonata III, 120mm rear fan, 120mm HDD fan, CPU stock fan.

When I say crash I mean movie studio shuts down and asks for a Crash report that I can send. Any unsaved projects and work are lost.

I've tried stabilizing 4k on the trial of Vegas Pro 13 also and that also ... shut down the program.

Stabilizing has been done no problem on 1080p footage, both on 100/mb & 50/mb .mp4s from the GH4, but 4k almost always crashes, sometimes right away, sometimes after 15%.

The BCC optical stabilizer takes about 20x clip length, but it did work with out shutting down the program. It is not free, but a 14day trial, unless I just wasn't given the registration number. So that's not a good solution.

I've tried Mercalli V4, but would have to render the files outside of movie studio, which I'm not keen on, cause then they would have to be rendered twice loosing more quality, make 1080p stabilization more viable possibly.

What are my options here? Movie studio platinum 13 has been the second NLE I've invested in and am now having problems with.

I haven't tried turning off gpu acceleration, I kind of need that for remotely smooth playback.

I tried disabling the gpu and restarting, and the program still shuts down, this time right away.

Its is free (BCC stabilizer), you do not register it....I posted a reply I got from tech support about that issue when it first came out. I repeat jus use it, you do not have to register it.

Have you vacuumed the inside of your machine and made sure your fan/heat sink is well seated? Over heating can cause this. Never had someone turned down a Mercalli Stabilized piece of footage.

But if BCC works for you that is your solution.

What kind of analyzing times & render times are you getting for 4k in mercalli v4? Mine are like 10-11x clip length for 4k analyzing and longer for medium render. It does a nice job I'm just worried about all the duplicate files it would create and the rendering quality of re-rendering twice. Would a better gpu speed this up a lot or is it mostly cpu based?

10X is about average for me to, use the batch and let it run overnight. Getty and Istock accept them with no issues so get all your edits done, render in MS to sony 4K and then stabilize in Mercalli, I output to ProRes 422 HD. Don't know about how GPU impacts Mercalli.

I would try this and see if it works any better.

Camera file > clean format render to Sony XAVC-I.mxf > then try and stabilize the resulting file.

Camera file > clean format render to Image Sequence (Tiff, or EXR) >import the sequence > then try and stabilize the timeline clip.

Is the heat ok on your system during render, both and CPU and GPU?


Also on your 860 and 5770, HDCAM-sr-lite, or XDCAM over using .mts, .mov, or AVCHD.mp4 will be your most stable, fluid editing experience. XAVC is need for 4K obviously. HDCAM-SR might seem like a huge bit rate, but the optimizations in Vegas go way beyond simple bitrate differences.
