Did you install PDR13 on the new computer by using the original downloaded files or the original CD?

Test your PD 13 by putting Boats.wmv on the timeline and try producing.

Boats.wmv is one of the sample files included with Powerdirector 13.

It is possible that your transferred the old projects without the the files that are in that project.

The correct way to transfer projects to another computer is to Pack Project Materials on the old computer, then copy that packed project folder to the new computer.

Pack Project Materials puts all of the 'stuff' on the timeline into a single folder along with the corrected pds file. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Check to see if you have shadow play or the geforce experience installed on this pc with the latest driver update.

Thanks for the responses. I did Pack the project and hopefully copied it correctly to the new machine. There is no "unpack" that I could find, so I just copied all the files that it packed to the new computer. It seemed to work ok, but when it finished loading, it gives me the error. I can run the "boats" file okay and produce it. 95% of the time, the program crashes when it finishes loading my project. It's a big project. When I packed it, I believe it was 10GB worth of data - HD quality, only about 6 minutes on the timeline though. The other 5% of the time it will let me work for a while in the project before it crashes. I was actually able to produce it one time before it crashed.

When I installed PD on the new system, I told it to use shadow files. I believe the Geforce experience is loaded. I have verified and downloaded the latest driver from Nvidia.

The geforce experience cause a lot of problems in the other forum. Try this: Uninstall it to see the crash stops. It is not necessary to enable shadow files with a computer of your spec. unless you work with video with a resolution greater than 2k.

Let us know if this helps.

Tomasc, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I uninstalled the Geforce Experience and it works now! At least it doesn't crash. The preview pane is choppy and sometimes skips ahead (I've seen other people having this problem), I thought the new, better machine would solve this issue, but it doesn't look like it. At least it's usable now though!

Glad that your crashing has stopped. Your pc is not much different from that of many users on this forum. I find that 1080p60 clips on the timeline does not require shadow files. They are required to edit 4k video. If your video is 2k or lower in resolution then you don't need shadow files if your preview quality is set to the default high or normal. If you do use shadow files then you must wait until those clips in the media library with the gold icon change to green before importing them to the timeline to get a smooth preview.

Let us know the resolution of the clips that you are using.
