Ran the exact same video in preview mode over 50mins including several dozens of transitions and it did not crash once, despite I ran heavy number crunching in parallel (by intention). Well done!!

How exactly are you applying the transitions, good sir? Could you please attach a screenshot? That should help us understand this better.

In OpenShot, transitions are applied between clips in the same track, and not between tracks. That is why I am asking for the screenshot.

Hi,

I am clearly doing both within the track and between tracks. And yes, it mostly crashes between tracks.

How would I then do a nice transition between tracks? I think I got the idea from you introduction videos. :-)

Please find attached a screenshot requested.

Hmm... I see. It seems you have put videos that you want to show in lower tracks. Which is not how OpenShot works. We should put videos in the upper tracks... It's like stacking a bunch of see-through pages on top of each other.

Please go through this guide to go from zero to hero in OpenShot. Maybe then you'll see what you can do to fix it. Hope that helps! :+1:

@ruffieuxh Can you try v2.4.2 and let us know if you have any success?

Awesome! Closing this as resolved!
