I have found the following to work:

1. Restart the PC
2. Reset Movie Studio settings to default by:

   * Hold down `Ctrl` and `Shift` when starting program
   * When the software starts to load, a window asks, *Do you want to reset all program preferences to default?* Select **Yes**.
   * Make sure to tick the checkbox, *Delete all cached application data*.
3. Deleting all .sfk files can also help with problem projects
4. The default MP4 and AVCHD files seem to be pretty reasonable quality, and less error-prone.
