What is your operating system? Ubuntu 18.04 What is your Shotcut version (see Help > About Shotcut)? Is it 32-bit? 21.12.21 Can you repeat the problem? If so, what are the steps? (Please be specific and use the names as seen in Shotcut, preferably English. Include a screenshot or screen recordi…

Shotcut has an internal frame cache. When it is decoding video from disk, it saves a selection of those frames in memory (uncompressed), which will appear to quickly explode the computer’s memory usage. The idea is that if you’re making small changes to an area of the timeline, you’re probably wan…

Well, it’s more complicated I think. Sure I expected that memory size increase is probably caused by some caching. But I have doubts if around 25GB of caching is a good idea. Concerning crashing, it happens that shotcut crashes sometimes when editing but probably for other reasons (I’ve already rep…

In order to do anything about this, you need to state what causes it other than “using it.” Otherwise, this is basically a bug report saying there is a bug and fix all of the bugs. It goes without saying that all of the bugs should be fixed, it should be as fast as possible, and it should use the le…

@Austin , Thanks for adding these thread. Yeah it looks like that it’s very similar/the same problem. @shotcut , it’s really challenging to say what is causing it. I tried to check if ex. using any filters or any special operations are causing it but no idea. The only thing which is sure is that when…

The issue isn’t proving a leak… we can all agree there are leaks. The challenge is figuring out exactly what’s causing them. The codebase is huge. Manually scanning source code isn’t a productive option. A better option is to use memory profilers or debuggers or other developer tools to figure o…

Memory leak when working longer?

I thought there had been some code changes in this area, particularly in regard to a project being closed. When I went searching the forum, I found an old post of mine saying basically the same thing you are. A leak is certainly possible.
