is anyone else having this issue, since the past few versions ?(Including newest one)
Whenever I try to transcode large video files to better edit them, KDEnlive becomes unresponsive for several minutes during it or even forever.
And this shouldn’t happen, considering I’ve a very powerful PC(running Windows 10 pro on a Ryzen 7 7800x3D, 2x16GB of RAM CL36 and 6000MT/s and a RTX 4070ti)
Why not? Just because you have a powerful doesn’t mean there is not much to compute and Kdenlive mustn’t become unresponsive. If all goes well, I agree the transcoding should finish rather quickly. But transcoding large video files means a lot to compute and also a lot of disk activity, and the bus can become the bottleneck …
see thats the thing, I kept an eye on task manager:
At some point, GPU(which never reached even 50%) went down to 0%, SSD went down to 0% and CPU to 3%, but the program remained unresponsive…
And what about memory? And other programs can start? And KDEnlive task what resources are using?
not entirely sure about what you meant by the other question, but other than firefox and discord, I had nothing open on the foreground. In the background, I like keeping as little things running as possible by not installing any useless programs. I have no plugins installed on kdenlive
Like I said, memory wise, I have 2x16 GB sticks, and pretty fast ones. And I had nothing much running. KDEnlive and ffmpeg were the ones consuming most of the ram
Seems like you can rule out any other interference, and assuming you have enough SSD space for the large files (which could get even larger depending in the codec used for transcoding) it looks like something worth a bug report. Please create one in bugs.kde.org
