what im finding now is that i can recreate it without the media, so i
can comfortably rule that out. i can literally subclip it down to 3
shots, make the sequence nothing but a couple of captured 23.98 shots,
take the media offline...
and as soon as i cut into the middle of the shot (won't happen if i
overwrite the entire thing) it errors out, crashes, done.
