OpenShot
OpenShot locks up doing almost anything
Describe the bug OpenShot locks up doing almost anything. I can't even test out this app because it is so flaky.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- add a TS video (mine is 30min, 704x480)
- drag the video to a timeline
- play the preview
- OpenShot locks up with the CPU cycling ('busy' forever) and I have to kill it; same for showing waveform
Expected behavior The app should not lock up.

@JustinWebDev Is openshot's performance any better in the daily build? You can download it here. There are a lot of improvements in the daily build.
Also are you running the app as an administrator? If you do, does that change anything? That could be related to what permissions the app was installed with.
My OS account is an admin account. Are you saying I should also run the app 'as administrator'? And what do permissions have to do with this issue? Shouldn't OpenShot work with whatever permissions it arranged during install? I don't understand the logic at all about permissions.
