Computer freezes while creating proxies

I'm trying to create Quicktime proxies from ProRes HQ 4k files. The computer will freeze 9 out of 10 times at some point during the export of those proxies.

I've created mp4 proxies from mp4 files a couple of times and that seemed to work fine.

I'm using Windows 10 and updated software.

I've attached computer specs and proxy settings if that helps 

Thank you

Have you found a solution? I'm having same issues. And every time I have to make hard reset becouse there is also SSD chrash (computer doesn't recognize it - Silicon Power).

It sounds like you've queued it up more than once.  Have you noticed if it's crashing on the same file?

 

To troubleshoot try doing it at the Clip level rather than the Project Settings level.

What codec are you using for the proxies?

I'm using ProRes 422

Try ProRes Proxy; 422 is overkill.

 

Also, what drive is all this going to? Is your media on a fast, internal SSD separate from your boot drive?
