Crashing When Move Effect While Holding Arrow Keys #4806

Open Syntactical01 opened 5 days ago

Syntactical01 commented 5 days ago

NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT ATTACH A SEQUENCE THAT DEMONSTRATES YOUR PROBLEM THEN THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY YOUR ISSUE WILL JUST BE CLOSED AND NOT INVESTIGATED.

Describe the bug It is not perfectly repeatable but happens a few times an hour while I am sequencing causing me to lose progress.

Basically I highlight a bunch of effects and hold my right arrow key to move them right a little and while I am holding it down the program just closes and exists. It doesn't happen all the time and a lot of times I catch myself to prevent it, but it happens a lot.

I believe it has to do with the rendering and the fact that its moving the effects so many times and try to render them each time as it moves to the right.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: (and/or link to a short video showing the problem with audio track describing what you are doing)

  1. Open the sequence or a sequence with a decent number of props, a big preview, and some effect.
  2. Highlight effects, doesn't need to be a lot but the more pixels they move the better I found it to replicated.
  3. Hold down the right or left arrow key to move the prop around.
  4. There may be a half second freeze but the program just closes. No error or anything.

Expected behavior The program should not crash.

Screenshots

Versions (please complete the following information):

Additional context I attached a sequence and two logs which I think both happened during the crash. One thing odd I noticed is that some times if I zoom out fast enough or in a weird spot, it will show fare to the right of my song and I can see some effect over there, like they glitched over there but I can't stay in that view long enough to highlight and delete them.

i.e. There are effects to the right of this red arrow that I can sometimes see if I zoom out fast enough for it to glitch out.

No crash found in the logs. As you surmised .. this can happen when given too much to do. Often we suggest you suspend render via the box in the bottom left. Not sure how we can replicate or reproduce this.
