Bug ID: 528013
Summary: Warning about low memory remaining
Classification: Applications
Product: kdenlive
Version First 25.12.3
Reported In:
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

DESCRIPTION
I'm editing a bunch of videos that involve the same opener graphic and a title
(both on V1), and then a contestant video (on V2). For each video, I delete the
previous contestant video from V2, remove it from the clips, add the new clip,
copy it to V2, update the title, adjust the V2 clip start point, adjust the
title location, adjust the contestant fadeout, save the project, and render the
video.
It all works great. But today, after doing the 12th video, KDEnlive warned me
that the system was getting short of memory (I have 16G). The app itself had
about 8G (!). So I closed the app, and the memory went down by that much. I'm
wondering, Is the app not freeing the deleted clips from memory?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add clip, copy to V2, update title
2. Save project
3. Render to a file
4. Remove clip
5. Go to 1. with the next file.
OBSERVED RESULT
6. After 12 videos, get the error message seen above.
EXPECTED RESULT
App would not cache the video files. Each video is about 150M (6-8 minutes at
1080).
