Crashing Project, video engine failure?

Cubase
1

I’ve got a project I made in cubase 13, opening in 14.
Project keeps crashing saying video engine failure.
I completed the project about 6 months ago.
It’s a full orchestral modern hybrid score synced to a film.

I’m not sure the best next steps to take.
I’m attaching the .ips log file I get when it crashes

Hi,

Yes, you are right, the crash is in the videoengine. Therefore, could you please provide more details about the video file? What kind of codec, resolution, format… do you use, please?

This file made it through almost about 6 months working with it. With the cubase 14 update it presented this issue.

Ran a test today:
I tried 2 versions of the same movie file. They both crash.
The first is an .mp4
codec-MPEG-4 AAC, H.254
Dimensions - 1920x822

Second file I tried, I removed the original file from the pool and imported a .mov file Quicktime Movie
Dimension - 1280x720
Codec - Timecode, h.264 MPEG-4 AAC

Crashed again. I’ve added the new crash file

The issue seems bigger than just the video.
I started a new project today and it’s just crashing left and right for no reason.
