If I go slow enough, the program won't crash right away. The files import alright and I can drag them to the timeline. For several weeks now, I've been having trouble working with 4K footage (imported at 60fps and changed to 29.97fps to rule out that as a problem) with my Sony Vegas Pro 17 software. I'm about to see if I can downgrade as I have some paid footage I need to process in the next fortnight and cant afford to have this issue.It is getting very frustrating. The only change is I upgraded from DR 15 to 16.

It happens if I create a new DB, new project, import a single braw clip and then hit stabilize. I've rebooted, I've exported the project, deleted it and reimported it. When it crashes it leaves a dead process tying up memory so I have to end task it after its crashed (windows doesnt show a front end for this process - windows bar shows no active DR instances). I created a 'fresh' project and imported footage and it happens with this. I've created a new disk DB so its not an upgraded one and it happens in that too. So this is not just one bad project file.

I decided to check some of my other projects and they to also crash doing a stabilise. I've tried exporting the project and reimporting it and it worked for a few times, then bam it was back, crashing everytime. It doesnt happen every time but its over 90% on this project. It occurs when I hit the stabilize button in the color screen. The issue I have is that its so flakey, that is I have been constantly sending in crash reports. I've found that DR's stabilisation has gotten alot better and its good when it works.

I've done a slight colour correction and now I'm working on stabilising the footage as it was done handheld with a non stabilised lens. This is with Davinci Resolve Studio v16.2.4.016 I'm working on a small project and I have some shakey footage filmed on a the pocket 4k.
