Lag issues in Preview while editing

It seems that after every release some people find that Shotcut slows down.

Sometimes we speculate about external programs interfering (Antivirus, Grammarly):

Anyone else experience longer export time after last update? Version 22.03

I this there is a good chance that this is the problem. I think that some antivirus programs “learn” over time that if you use something multiple times it will stop checking it so often. Sometimes you can go into the settings to “whitelist” an application. In addition to whitelisting Shotcut, it is also good to whitelist “melt” the export program. Also, see this issue with Grammarly: So there could be other things on the computer that affect it.

But we do not know for sure if the problem is external programs.

If anyone else experiences the same problem, I hope they post it here. Maybe we can find a pattern that will be a hint to a solution.
