I've edited with powerdirector 13 for a few years now and it's always been a bit crashy. I originally thought it was simply my hardware config as the problem but I've recently upgraded to Ryzen 1700, 16 gigs ram, and PD running off an SSD. I'm begining to think it is my editing habits that cause the crashes?
I use macro keys to quickly split a clip and delete a section. This is the usual action that causes freezing. I don't get the same crashes on my amd A10 laptop even though its specs are way worse than my desktop config. (granted slower laptop necesitates slower editing so again could be user problem).

Think it's a hardware issue or user issue?

I've not seen any helpful similiar threads so I figured I'd finally ask.
