Crashes when producing are usually caused by video drivers or problems with Windows. Please follow the steps in the Read Me Before Posting guide and attach the DxDiag results so we can help.

Sorry!

I can't post a screenshot of an error because theres none - the porgram just closes and thats it!

Here is the dxdiag document!

Thanks for the test results, and don't worry about the screenshot. You have 2 GPUs in your laptop, one from Intel and one from nVidia, and both drivers are out of date. Go to the ASUS support website (this page is from the UK site, but you can change the location if needed).

There is also a BIOS update, but there seems to be an FX580VD and an NX580VD version of the laptop and the DxDiag results only say X580VD. Hopefully there's a sticker on the laptop or you can look it up by the serial number to get the correct version.

It would also help to know which option was shown on the Produce page. Did it show Intel Quick Sync or Hardware video encoder? That will tell you if PD was using the Intel or nVidia card.

Finally, make sure you're using the latest version of PD18. It should be build 2725, and you can update it from this page if needed.

Thank you for your answer! I will try everything you said, I hope it helps.

I'll reply again tomorrow if it helped!

Another approach to identifying a cause ..
If you are sure about the timeline (crashing after 1 minute, consistenly), open the project in edit mode.
Then at the 1 minute mark, note what you have in terms of extra tracks (overlays, filters, text etc).
One by one

• open the project


• for each track, disable it (the tick at the start of the track)


• produce the project with a unique name (eg test1, 2, 3 etc), just a short amount (2-3minutes??), no need to do the whole project

And repeat for each track until you find one that produces without an error/crash, then whatever you have in that disabled track at 1 minute is the cause of the issue. If this hasn't identified a cause when all the extra tracks have been tested, then the cause is the item on the main timeline at the 1 minute mark
Remove that element from your project, re-enable the track, and produce (render it) it again to prove the point.

At this point you have data on the issue: the version of PD, and the component causing a crash. Full details on the component should be recorded, along with the properties of the render you were attempting to do.

So when I tried updating PD it gave me this error, what now?

Robert Šarkezi, your issue is not related to this topic. You cannot apply a PD19 patch to PD18 and you cannot update a subscription version of PD with a manual patch.

If you'd like more assitance, please start a new topic here and include the exact version number of PD you have installed.
