Hello again. Over the course of the year, I've been dealing with Effects either not even being usable, constantly "not responding", or not exporting most projects. I rolled back to Windows 10 from 11 after learning it isn't supposed to work with Windows 11.

I just rolled back to Windows 10 in order for Effects 4 to properly function a week or two ago. Most of the time, it does not crash now. However, Effects 4 is not reliable with exporting things. I'm creating a video with the same features as last time, 6 labeled boxes of audio waveforms, plus chromatic aberration and a glow effect. Effects 4 either crashes or doesn't go beyond 0%, so I cut it down to two audio waveform instances + effects. No difference.    

I even tried creating a timeline cache just as a crapshoot, and even that stopped at 10%. However, crazy enough, it fully exported an image I processed with a flicker effect, custom lens flares, and a grain effect for the same 4 minute video.

By the way, I have an HP Envy 2 in 1, with a Ryzen 5 graphics card with 16GB ram.

There must be some way this nightmare could end.
