Hi Aaron,

Some intermediate steps can be quite demanding in terms of computer resources and depending on the machine. For more information about hardware: [https://support.pix4d.com/hc/en-us/articles/202557289](https://support.pix4d.com/hc/en-us/articles/202557289)

Does the processing complete at the end?
