    Posted: 19 Oct 2016 at 4:25am
I use Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate. How do I stop it from constantly crashing? Is it a good idea to have a dedicated drive for video editing if you make lots of videos? I have 16 GB of RAM should I get 32? If i change the priority of the program in the task manager to "high" will that makes things run better? Anyone have experience with this and want to offer any helpful hints?

I have Windows 8.1

It crashes at random. Sometimes repeatedly, 10 seconds after I open it up. Sometimes it's after working on the same project for 2 hours and the program itself takes up 2.5 GB RAM. not really sure.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with my hard drive, because it's a 256 GB SSD but it only has about 1GB free space remaining :( I've noticed that when I have the video editor open, the free space on the hard drive can go from 1.5 GB to 300 MB, and sometimes when I'm working there is a message that says "not enough free space on drive C or something like that"

I suspect the SSD is not big enough! Does this sound possible?

Ya before we even talk about anything else, you need to get a new ssd or move lots of stuff off of this ssd to another drive.

I can help you with that but 1GB of free space, I'm surprised you don't have all kinds of issues.

have you cleaned all your temps files and etc?

ok I figured that was the problem, I guess I'll be getting another SSD then. probably 1TB.

I have one SSD 256 GB that is 99% full and another SSD 500 GB that is 95% full, mostly filled with games.

I use ccleaner to clean temp files, only cleans about 1 GB of space.

I'm thinking maybe I should move all my video editing stuff to a new drive and dedicate that one to just video editing, ugh that will be a pain to figure out.

What I would do is have one drive for game storage and one drive for video editing work/storage. Now the key here is to clone each drive once a week so that if something happens to your drive you don't lose all your data.

I do this with 4 of my drives, I back up 4 ssds to 4 hdds.

So, if you "backup via clone" from a ssd to a hdd, how do you proceed if the ssd becomes unusable for one of a number of reasons? I thought the reason for cloning was to R&R directly if the primary failed.

Cloning is for backup or to make a new OS boot drive. The secondary drive in cloning has to be stable, usable and its capacity more than what's on the primary drive.



Think I misunderstood... if the SSD becomes unusable, you then clone the HDD to a new SSD for example.   If the SSD is boot then you first boot to the cloned HDD.

lol you are both confusing me.

Clone is a process where you duplicate your entire drive, if its the OS drive it will copy the MBR and etc so the drive is actually bootable. If its a storage drive then you are just duplicating the storage drive on another drive.

cloning is different than copy and paste or other kinds of copying.

So I clone my ssd to a hdd then if the ssd is unusable, it has to be replaced, so either I get a new ssd and clone from the hdd back to the ssd and continue with the new ssd or just use the cloned hdd, but I always clone back to a new ssd.

In short my hdd hold a copy of the main drive, if the main drive goes back it gets replaced with a new drive. once the new drive is installed, the new hdd then gets cloned from the hdd, once the clone is done the new drive is now ready to be booted off of and pickup right where the original drive/clone left off.

Hope that makes sense.

Actually I think you did say the same thing I did in a few words but I was just thinking that what you said was pretty much what I said in the few words.

funny thing, as soon as a I got a new 1 TB external SSD and installed all my Pinnacle Studio files and stuff on it, the crashing stopped and everything has been running much smoother.

I've been working on the same project all day and it hasn't crashed once.

Which is why we don't do any trouble shooting till you fix the obvious problem first, I think you didn't have enough room so the new hdd fixed that.

Keep working on it and see if it is stable.
