This issue has been significantly improved through memory management refactoring, but a complete fix is still being worked on. ### Preview Synchronization The preview player prioritizes smooth real-time editing over perfect rendering accuracy. During playback you may notice: - Minor audio desynchronization - Small frame drops - Brief stutters - Some transitions appearing as hard cuts - Overlay animations appearing less smooth than the final render These limitations affect **preview playback only**. Exported videos remain fully rendered, frame-accurate, and correctly synchronized. --- ## 📖 Error Codes & Troubleshooting Detailed explanations for error codes and troubleshooting steps are available in the GitHub Wiki: https://github.com/tharunbirla/LibreCuts/wiki/Error-Codes-&-Troubleshooting
