Description

Platform

Windows 10

Browser

Chrome

Current Behavior

When running OpenCut, the application consumes an unusually high amount of RAM, even with minimal input or simple tasks. Memory usage continues to grow over time, leading to potential slowdowns or system instability.

Expected Behavior

No response

Recurrence Probability

Always

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Install and open OpenCut.
  2. Load a simple project or start a new project with minimal media.
  3. Observe the RAM usage in Task Manager (Windows) / Activity Monitor (macOS) / System Monitor (Linux).
  4. Perform basic operations (e.g., cut, trim, or move clips).
  5. Notice that memory usage spikes significantly and continues to grow even with minimal activity.

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.
