Up until yesterday I've had no issues with rendering, in fact its been quite good (if a little slow). I've done projects that have been almost an hour long without a problem joining, editing etc several clips together smoothly.
I have read several similar issues here, so before posting my own problem I followed some of the suggestions to no avail. I'm using 8.6 with Windows XP currently.
While I am typing, I could ask this. Would deleting the software and reinstalling help?

I just tried it myself; it works OK; what browser are you using ?
Firefox. I think the problem is with the software. I tried to go back and see if there were any problems with the clips I had joined and the whole thing shut down just moving the video slider across.
kayakman, Champion
regarding the video, maybe try using a different browser, like Chrome or Edge
you mentioned that all was OK until 2 days ago
I assume you're using Camtasia 2018?
what is in the project [type of media, where did they come from, etc]
can you post a screenshot showing project on timeline, at max zoom out [ctl-shift-7]?
show as many tracks as possible

I'll have to get into Chrome later. It's very glitchy on my computer and I need to shut down all other windows.
Yes it was perfect. I've gone through my other software as well to be sure; everything else works fine including my husbands Cad-cam which is a huge sucker on RAM
Camtasia Studio 8.6 (that is the latest I can use, since we can't upgrade to Windows 10 until we buy a new computer)
the media are video strips converted from my DVD collection using Freemake to MP4
I've done 2 screenshots. One at full size and one as you suggested.
thanks by the way for your help. I really need it.

thanks for the screenshots
can you try a test?
if you can play the 2 media clips in some player, capture them playing with Camtasia 8 Recorder, this will give you trec files
use those trec files in a project
still have the problem?

what dimensions are the media clips: what frame rate?
As in size for each clip? How do I determine the frame rate?
kayakman, Champion
size = x,y dimensions
in Windows Explorer, select clip; if details panel is showing, you can see dimensions and frame rate [I use Win 10 and can't remember how earlier version worked]
dimension should also be in clip bin if using details view
can you try the quick test?

or, just make 2 new short captures with Camtasia Recorder, use those in a new project; problem gone?
just trying to see if issue is due to your converted media

I just did a quick test by picking two clips that I know were successful on a previous project. The result was the same. The rendering failed at 4.5%. Plus when first loading one clip the software froze, then shut down. I'm at a loss to be honest. I've run my CCleaner twice, and as I said checked other software and found no issues.

do you have a free screencast.com account?
if so, can you export the problem project as zip; upload the zip to sc.com, share a link to the zip here
I'd like to take a look at that project in CS8
but can you also make 2 new Recorder captures and test?

No I don't. I'll make one shortly after I get the kids off to school.
recording isn't working. Well it is, but it tells me the audio files are invalid?

Re off to school ... been there, done that :)
It's been thrust upon me! I only have one of my own, she is 2. My brother and his wife are going through some issues, so I'm looking after their 3 youngest for a while.
Okay, the problem and I should post up something for others who may have had similar issues.
When running, especially on old computers such as mine, Camtasia needs to use a lot of RAM. The first thing I did was to go through my program files and I deleted any program I haven't used for a year or more; that freed up a lot of space. (2.7gb) I then ran a registry fix with CCleaner (missing DLL's). Lastly, when rendering, I shut everything else down I didn't need open and it worked a charm. I did it 3 times to be sure. Happy camper now ^_^
