When importing ~20 sec clip, OpenCut uses ram until desktop crashes

Expected Behavior

For RAM usage to not skyrocket

Recurrence Probability

Always

Steps To Reproduce

Grab clip
Import clip to media selection
Watch Task Manager in horror

Anything else?

I closed the tab in this clip, but if i let it keep going, Windows would've crashed.
