Pretty sure I found a bug in v15 release FREE version.
I added several clips to a new project and then selected all and started the "Generate Optimized Media". After a few minutes crashed DVR. Repeated with same result.
What I found was that one of the MP4 clips was not an MP4 but a .jpg. Of course I know that that is a no-no. My bad. Works great after removing the Jpeg. But DVR code should not have crashed. Stop yes and report an error.
