Unable to render HD video

[Weeination]

Do I need a new computer if I want to render HD video? I am using X8 as noted after my computer specs.

The properties of the video I am editing.

Video Type: MPEG-2 Video, Upper Field First
Attributes: 24 bits, 1920 x 1080, 16:9
Frame rate: 29.970 frames/sec
Data rate: 13706 kbps
Audio type: Dolby Digital
Attributes: 48000 Hz, 5.1 Channels
Layer: None
Bit rate: 384kbps

When I place the video into the video track, I don't get the message when first inserting the clips into the timeline. I have that preference selected and tried multiple times to have it appear, including restarting my computer. However, I often don't see it appear even when editing SD video. In terms of editing, all I am doing is removing some of the beginning and the end of the video. When saving the project, I had tried using both HDV and AVCHD formats. In Share I tried "same as project settings" and "same as first video clip". I tried with and without smart render enabled. Each time X8 just closes before even getting to 1%.

Have you tried another HD file? Zoom recording .mp4 or online convert a YouTube file to try. If VSX8 can't handle those .mp4 low bitrates it might be your computer.

Hi
The show messages does not always appear especially if the properties are already set.
First check the Project - Properties Settings, are they as your video properties
When you do Share - Same as Project, what are the Properties used.

Try this:-
Start a new project to clear the timelines.
Settings Project Properties, choose DVD 16:9 and ok to that.
File New project
Now insert your MTS video to the top timeline, you should now get the message.

I doubt that the settings would cause the crash, it should render even if the settings are incorrect.
Have you use any other files as a start / introduction/ instant project etc.????
If there is no problems with the project...

I would try resetting the library, first export library as a copy.
Then reset the program
And if needed re-install the program
