Ok...
So I started over... Clicked produce - Next ,
after EVERY edit to make sure the same thing wouldn't happen again...
And it did! But I narrowed it down to the exact thing that causes the crash:
It's one particular clip that causes the crash: without it, no problems, as soon as I put that clip in, the produce action crashes before u get to pick format.
It's a WMV file created with windows movie maker, from an asf file. The asf file is a recorded live stream that may have been "broken" somehow by a connection stop while recording..
Is there anything I can do to make this file work with powerdirector? I only need about 4 seconds of it...
