The stability of the software is frequently criticized, with users reporting issues such as black screens when importing footage and during video splitting. Many have experienced crashes and blue screens after extended rendering sessions, indicating significant reliability problems. Overall, the software is described as a "buggy mess," particularly for users handling large amounts of footage.
“Buggy when it comes to importing Shadowplay footage into the software, resulting in a black screen in the timeline and render file at times.”
“Splitting videos can be a tad buggy at times, causing the same black screen problem.”
“After rendering close to 100 hours worth of footage, I would advise avoiding it. It's a buggy mess with quite a few blue screens after 20 hours of renders. And no, it's not my PC; it's more than capable of rendering basic video files.”
