borate Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Install this version. Ignore any update or incompatibility warnings. Load the project and again try to SAVE PORTABLE PROJECT AS. If successful, upload it to the server and link it here. How long is your project? What are the specs of your new PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Installed the version from the link, same thing happened. It got stuck on the second pop up, Backing Up Project Files. My computer is an HP 15, Intel Pentium Gold processor, 500 GB HD, 4 GB DDR4 memory. The project is a little over 24 minutes long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 So this is the same PC where it succeeded earlier? If so, it points to a limitation of that PC, or with the 'new' one that you referred to. Video editing is resource intensive and a Pentium chip with but 4GB of RAM may put you at a disadvantage, especially on a lengthy project and even more so if it contains large high-def files. Did you try breaking the project into parts and exporting each? Placing a segment on its own track allows export of only that track, without disturbing the others. You might also try to temporarily remove an effect that occurs at about the time the project hangs, then attempt an export. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsalagiman Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Yes, this is the first time I've ever had a problem. The intro which is only about one to one and a half minutes long does the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 What about other projects - do they behave similarly? What happens if you attempt to export a later portion of the project - cutting out a few minutes in the middle, placing them on a new track and exporting? Can recollect no instance where a user was unable to save a portable project. Considering all the diagnostic steps that you have taken, one might conclude that either the project is corrupt or something has gone awry with your PC. Try the following... Save your project using FILE|SAVE PROJECT AS to the same folder that contains the source files. With Windows Explorer (the PC file manager), open that folder and zip ALL the files that it contains. Upload that zip file to a server and share a public link to it here. In Windows 10 it's easy to create a zip file. Open the folder containing the files and click anywhere on the right side, where the files are shown. Press <ctrl-A> to select (highlight) all files. Right-click on any file and SEND TO|COMPRESSED (zipped) FOLDER. The result will be a file with a .zip extension that has the same name as the file you right-clicked. Upload that file.
