Re: System crash when rendering "Core Glow" effect

FYI Sequences are approx. 1min. long, clips are razor-cut and speed changes applied to the spinets. Entire sequence consists of around 8-14 different plays(clips) Each clip is razor-cut into multiple snippets for fast to slow-mo speed changes.

If I render each snippet individually, I can usually (70% of the time) get through to the end (aslong as the snip is only a few seconds long.) But even when rendering each snip individually, i'll get about halfway through the sequence and *poof* system crash.
Every time I try to render anything more than a few snips (5-10 seconds worth of video) I get system-wide crash (grayed out screen of death requiring hard-reboot of computer)

my work around is render snip, save, render snip, save, render snip, save, export self contained mov of what is rendered, ..... and repeat until sequence is done. (exporting the mov because, even though I save, I often loose the last few renders aswell with the crash.)

This problem may have nothing to do with the plug-in. But it only seems to happen when I use this particular effect?!?

I only have your plug-in set on my Macbook Pro (as these sequences are usually built on the road.) I'll load the plugs on the MacPro tower and, once back at the office for a stint, see if I can re-create crash there as well.
