Hi,
I've started editing a new (2.5yr old) project in PD12 and during the editing phase it's freezing the program completely, requiring the program to be shut down. Over a period of a few hours, it froze about half a dozen times. Fortunately I was using PDToots recommended project management approach, regularly saving of PDS files so lost little each time. I had come from PD11 and never experienced any issues, though hadn't worked on a project with so many short clips. Very few will have any effects added. I still have PD11 installed (whether it matters).
My total project is about 13gb of AVI video and still images. Video is 720x576 at 25fps, interlaced and 4:3 ratio, shot on old DV camcorder. My other projects have been with a gopro or sony digital camera in PD11. The freezing occurs while I'm editing in the timeline phase, so splitting, trimming, audio and basic colour correction, some titles, etc. The only common trigger is if I'm editing things quickly, add an undo or something of that nature, it freezes. I haven't got to producing the video and I'm about 35mins through content.
I'm running PD Ultimate, version 12.0.2209.0, SR number VDE130910-01. I believe I have all the latest updates, I checked after it froze a few times and made any available updates, but still got the freezing.
DxDiag attached, please let me know if you need more info.
Thanks
Sean

Sounds like it's coming along for you. eg, never bothered with WMV. Youtube will take almost any format and do it's own thing to play it, so I focus on a good quality up load so that it's worth watching in the future. Just do a search on "best format for youtube upload" and lots of content comes up.
Re the audio. Depending how you recorded the audio, it may be a waste increasing the bit rate. Whilst I can't foresee it doing any harm, it'd be equivalent to rending your SD image as HD. e.g. for a gopro, I think it's like 128kbps, but there audio is pretty awful, but it's irrelevent to bump it up.

Well it started out not so positive, but after the hard drive crashed within the first couple of months it's been sensational since. Fortunately I didn't lose anything as it was still on another computer. Was a lesson in ensuring everything is backed-up.
I also hated win8 intially, so have partitioned the hard drive with win7 and win8. I'm not sure if my hate was contributed with a dying hard drive. But now quite a fan of win8 (well 8.1 to be precise).

Angie, your system is very similarly spec'd as my toshiba, I think I'm running 8gb ram and AMD graphics. It does a great job.
RE 4k. At the moment it's really only the go pro hero3's that I know of which can shoot at such high resolution. An even than it's a lower frame rate. It's essentially 4x the resolution of full HD (1080x 1920). Or in other context, a video image made of 12megapixel images per frame. TV's are starting to enter the market at this resolution but typically very expensive (in australia at least).

Cody - what video card do you have? Nvidia? Could your issue be related to this - http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/30914.page
I run 8.1 and never had any issues, though is Radeon GPU.

I would do what you've said, use the rotation the tool to level it. You'll then need to zoom in to overcome the black areas. It's essentially the same approach to stabilising.
There may be alternative approaches and I look forward to hearing what they may be, but that's what I'd be trying.
