Obviously PD shouldn't crash no matter what kind of editing you're doing, and often crashes are the result of a bad video driver installation or underlying problems with Windows.

You might want to try the steps shown here to tackle both of those possibilities.

If the problem persists, please follow the steps shown in the Read Me Before Posting guide and attach the DxDiag test results.

Hello Mr OD! Apologies for my late response and thank you very much for your quick reply AND solution. Also thanks much for providing the links to those sites I needed to get to...

The first thing I tried was cleaning our the old driver and loading up the newest for my Quadro RTX. Went into PD365 (after it said it was configuring the best settings for my card), went right to adding tthe QUAKE effect on my desired clip, and WHAMMO! Worked perfectly! I guess since my GPU and system are very new I didn't think this would work, but by golly, it DID!

Thanks so much again!

EDIT: Just tried again and its crashing again... frustrating. I will check out your other suggestions...
