Hi Tonwurm,

I´m still on PT HD 8.01 CS2 here due to my Digi Expansion Chassis and my PCI Core and Accel cards.

I sometimes still have this *importing session data causes a spinning ball* issue, but I figured out what could be the reason.

First reduce the number of tracks you are importing at once from another session,
try one track after to each other to check what track / plugins could be the reason for a spinning ball.

Special RTAS plugins tracks which are offering several (plugin) outputs often cause a problem while importing to a new session.

Also FXPansion wrapped VST plugins sometimes causing a spinninng ball,
try to sort out the reason for a crash that way by importing track by track.

Also check your I/O settings, I remember to found a crashing situation where I imported tracks with the checkmark import I/O session data also with an PT audio bus which was used connected twice!

Also importing a second time after a crash sometimes works fine.

Hope that helps,
greetings,
