Editing AV1 footage is really intensive on ram and buggy.

Hi everyone!

Ive noticed that editing any AV1 video fills up ram alot and really fast, eventually it runs out of ram, and starts writing to the pagefile, and that causes my windows to slow down and eventually lock up. Anything i could do to fix this?

I'm not surprised as 16GB Ram is not very much.

(Intel 3rd gen i5@4.1GHz, 32GB RAM, SSD, 1080Ti GPU, Windows 10) Not now used with Vegas.
