Description
Platform
Arch(Latest)
Browser
Firefox
Current Behavior
Upon trying to export my 3 Gig video I checked the usage of ram which just so happened to be also 3 Gigs. Now I am no expert on how video editing software works, but isn't there a way to chop it up into segments so you can do 1 Gig x 3
Expected Behavior
For it to export my video
Recurrence Probability
Always
Steps To Reproduce
Just upload and export any 3 hour video
Anything else?
