My machine could use more memory. However, the length of the movie
really shouldn't be increasing the memory requirements of openshot that
much.

Title:
  trouble with long videos

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a long video. (About an hour in length). Openshot does not appreciate this.

The underlying problem appears to be that openshot is using up all of my available ram (whenever I have the project open). This results in stability and performance problems.

This happens in Version 1.2.2 (via PPA), The "trunk?" version from bzr simply hangs attempting to load the file.

What I'd like is for openshot to avoid using as much memory. Another option would be if I could somehow split my existing project into several smaller projects, but I'm not see a good way to do this.
