I’m using Shotcut version 21.06.29 and I’ve been trying to export a video that is less than 20 minutes long. Whenever I try to export the project it fails to export at the 22% completion mark with an error that I am “running low on memory”.
I’m not sure why this is as:
A.) The project is not very graphic intensive (standard 1080p resolution, with a lot of still shots), and I am only using a handful of basic filters (i.e., fade-in/out video).
B.) I only begin the export after a fresh reboot of my PC, I don’t start any other applications while exporting, and I also turn off the WIFI and disable all unnecessary background applications during the process.
C.) My PC meets the minimum specs I found outlined for the use of the software. These are my computer specs:
It is in Shotcut code (MainWindow::onAutosaveTimeout), and it is accurate. However, the dialog does not close itself when the memory usage gets lower. And the export failures are a result of running out of memory. System specifications are merely guidelines and not a contract. It is easy to use a lot of memory when editing HD or higher video.
Thanks for the response. I’ve already done everything you have suggested here, this is why I’m a puzzled. I’ve also exported longer more complex projects before without this memory error.
