Util::isMemoryLow

Help/How To
1

Greetings,
I have a powerful computer however when ever I attempt to play my project in shotcut (even with little to no editing), I find that the playback stutters and freezes constantly.

My application log shows this:

It indicated low memory but like I said, my computer is very powerful and I’m only performing the one task.

My PC specs are:
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D 12-Core Processor

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

VENGEANCE® 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 DRAM 6000MT/s CL36

That log message does not mean it is low. It is a message that reports the amount of free memory, and when it is low Shotcut will show a warning dialog. Playback stutter and stall is a common issue that is covered in the FAQ page and FAQ. You often need to use proxy and preview scaling to make it smoother, but even then it is not perfectly smooth because it processes in real time.
