This could be just me, but…whenever I add videos to the Video Sequence Editor, these videos being 720p, the framerate being 30FPS, the memory usage jumps into upwards of 4GB. That means everything but the Blender instance becomes unresponsive. This becomes much worse when rendering videos, even at 50% the video size, as even File Explorer stops responding until it is done, but even after, it still takes up 4GB of memory, forcing me to struggle to either start a new file or close the instance altogether. Is this just me?
Edit 1: At the time I have typed this, I have just checked: 2.80, a video with the same size and framerate, over 100000 frames, it never climbed past 1.1GB, even with Waveform Drawing On.
