Hi David, Thank you for uploading your files. 11916 images is a very large dataset to be processed in a single project using a computer with 28 GB of RAM. Please have a look at [Computer requirements](https://support.pix4d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002495966-Computer-requirements). Therefore, we recommend testing your project by processing a subset of the dataset, such as 500 images, and check if you still face the crash. In general, please keep in mind that projects of more than 2000 images are always recommended to be split into subprojects, processed separately and then merged in one project. For more information about how to process large datasets you can take a look here: [Processing Large Datasets](https://support.pix4d.com/hc/en-us/articles/202558579-Processing-Large-Datasets). Best!
