- Install and open OpenCut.
- Load a simple project or start a new project with minimal media.
- Observe the RAM usage in Task Manager (Windows) / Activity Monitor (macOS) / System Monitor (Linux).
- Perform basic operations (e.g., cut, trim, or move clips).

Research direction
The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. First reproduce the problem in OpenCut on Windows 10 with Chrome while watching RAM in Task Manager, then narrow the growth to the basic project and clip operations described. Done means the confirmed reproduction no longer shows unexplained memory growth during those operations.
