[Bug 1469845] Re: Memory leaking when export video

 

Hi

Yes we are aware and it is a reason of the creation of Libopenshot. Another reason can be that you are starting from a flash disk. But I don't think really.
BTW you can convert them in dnxhd with Enkodeur-Mixeur. I've seen that at rmll 2011 at Strasbourg. Laurent have done that for a new user on an netbook. This guy was not able to do that on Window with the software which was coming with his camera...Impressive.

Title:
  Memory leaking when export video

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I created a project with 56 tracks. Each track included one clip from 10 to 15 seconds and one 3 second transition (blinds sliding). Resolution of the clips were 2304 x 1296 (H.264 / AVC, 25 frames per second). When I started exporting video to AVI(h.264) HD720p 25 fps I faced with memory leaking. System monitor showed a constant growth of memory usage up to 100 percent. 
  I found a solution but I hope that my letter will help you to fix your program.

  Solution was the next. I had to split my project into three parts,
  export them separately and then merge them together. I also mentioned
  that there was no memory leaking when I merged video clips without
  changing resolutions. So that may be a good idea to work always with
  converted versions of the clips.

  Environment:
  64 bits, 
  ubuntu 14.04 LTS (OS is not installed, starts from flash disk without swap partition)
  Openshot 1.4.3
  PC with AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor × 6, 8GB RAM
