I was looking for a way to trim my videos. My video player doesn't support the resolution. I was hoping to trim videos with QuickTime Player for Mac mashtips.com/trim-videos-with-quicktime-player-mac/ . I hope it's worth a try and would be easy to get the job done.

Tested with 2019.2.4f1 and 2019.3.0 using the exact same code
No problem so far with 2019.2.4f1
Serious memory leak issue with 2019.3.0

I am having the same leak on 2019.1.8f on iOS. I tried creating a new Video player every time, but it's still the same. And stop() doesn't help. http://www.fixprinternotresponding.com/ Is anyone having the same problem and found a solution?

I retract my last statement. The bug is also present in 2018.3.6f1.
