HI misky,

There could be a few reasons why this happened. Can you tell me if you have optimised your computer for use with Video?

What is your graphics card spec? Have you adjusted the buffer in the video section of the setup menu (see attached pic) to correspond with the VRAM you have available?

Hey Matt,

My Macbook Pro is a 15" 2,7 Ghz i7 with 8 GB RAM and 1 GB VRAM

my Buffersize in the setup is the same like on Your screenshot. Should i put it to 1 GB?

HI misky,

You can adjust it up a bit, I was checking more to see if you had it set incorrectly. Looks like you are good though.

When you open up the software it crashed? or Crashed when you closed the program?

Did you find it relative to a file in particular? What sort of video files are you using?

Regards
