Problem: When recording a video, Active Presenter shuts down without notice. Sometimes it crashes when you try to stop the recording, sometimes it the application closes without notice. No further crash report is given and the auto save doesn’t work when it’s a new, not saved project.
Below you’ll find the windows error log.
I tried your suggestions but the problem keeps occurring. Sometimes AP stops working when I want to stop filming, other times it closes itself without notice.
Unfortunately, the suggested settings do not seem to work, the problem keeps occurring.
I want to add that I have been working with Active Presenter for about 2 years and I really enjoy the application. However recently it seems to have stopped being a stable application. Around January/February this year I had these exact same problems on a Windows 10 laptop. Around that time I switched to a new laptop with Windows 11 and it worked fine until it a few days ago.
We are investing the issue and will try to fix it. Since we cannot reproduce the problem on our machines, I will contact to you in the next few days via email to ask for your help in testing the fix.
Thank you for investigating it, sorry it is such a weird problem!
On a side note: I use active presenter for my company and starting tomorrow I will be on a holiday until June 6th and will not read any email or updates on this issue. Please feel free to message me here or send a DM and I will reply when I resume working.
Thank you for your follow-up.
Our latest version, ActivePresenter 9.1 has been released with the improvements in stability but I’m not sure if it addresses your issue.
So, just access the Help tab > Check Updates and try out this latest version.
We appreciate your efforts in helping us investigate the issue you encountered after updating ActivePresenter, @insert_user_name.

In the mean time, if the issue persists in some specific projects, kindly send one project with its external data folder named in the PROJECT_FILE_files (if any). See detailed steps here: How to Send Projects with External Data Folders - ActivePresenter 8 - YouTube).

The problem is again with recording video’s, sometimes it crashes instantly, sometimes after 20 minutes and everywhere in between. It is in new projects and existing projects. I haven’t tested 9.1 enough to know if crashes occur when editing a project. (That also used to be the case before)
Hello again,
After some more testing I found a weird bug with the screen recordings in 9.06. When the audio is recorded in stereo everything seems fine, when it’s changed to mono, Active Presenter almost immediately shuts down after I press the ‘Record’ button.
I record the audio via an external sound card (Focusrite 2i2) that has no issues with recording in mono in other programs.
If the crash report dialog appears, please fill in your email address and send it to us.
If not, please send us the log file so we can check. To view the log:
