Save w/custom Clipboard causes Crash

Recommended Posts

Narrowed down a "System has stopped responding and must close" error. (Not exactly the error message - but close).

While saving a sequence - if I have a custom clipboard selected which is a export from Nutcracker the system stops responding and forces S3 to close giving me the option to check on-line for a solution or just close, but no option to recover in any form.

I have a number of exports from Nutcracker for my 800 pixel mega tree, and none seem more prone than any other.

This crashing challenge has been plaguing me all season - and it just now dawned on me what was in common. (Sorry I don't have a screen capture).

Other than the obvious (choose regular clipboard B4 saving) any thoughts for a software fix?

***The good news is I am a faithful sequential file saver since early sequencing days ( filename_year_XXX. .... replacing the XXX with the next number in sequence) to go back to a sequence that looked better than what I just dreamed up. BTW would be a great feature in an upcoming version. ***

The matrix clipboards can be very large and consume a lot of memory. I suggest you right click and remove clipboard when you are done with them. My 8gig pc cant handle very many and SE locks up when I dont get rid of them.

This happened to my so much this year it was crazy frustrating. Luckily I'm one of those people who save after any changes as well and number my saves. I couldnt even sequence on my i5 laptop this year with 4gb of ram and a SSD, it would crash after any big changes or copy/paste of hundreds of channels or crash trying to convert 100+ channels to rgb channels at once etc. I just chalked it up to having so many channels but a fix would be great.

I had to go from 8G of memory to 16G to do alot of copy and past in mine. I am on a I5 even takes along time to save

macchn - I have been contemplating that move - (going to 16 gig of RAM on my I5) - Did it make a difference? I did bump my paging file up to double my 8 gig, and actually haven't seen a lock up since.

BobO - I appreciate that feedback.

I have been removing my large clipboards before I save, and i upgraded to 3.9.

The really good news - the show is running - folks are enjoying - and the little ones are marvled at the singing snowman.
