Cut step causes "Not Responding" or freeze on click, even for short clips #19

Description

Clicking "Cut" on a clip candidate immediately freezes the app Windows
title bar shows "AutoShorts (Not Responding)" right from the start of
the click not after a delay
Steps to reproduce:

  1. Import a long source video (71 minutes)
  2. Run Transcribe + Find Viral Moments (used Ollama/Qwen 2.5 7B locally)
  3. Select a clip candidate and click "Cut"
  4. App immediately shows "Not Responding" in the title bar
    Observed:
  • Task Manager shows ffmpeg.exe running with active CPU (15-17%) so
    it's not fully dead but the UI is completely unresponsive from the
    moment Cut is clicked
  • Tested with two different short clip candidates (20s and 8s) both
    from timestamps near the 69-71 minute mark of a 71-minute source file.
  • Suspect ffmpeg may be seeking/decoding from the start of the source
    file rather than jumping directly to the clip timestamp, which would
    explain why cut time doesn't match the short output clip length.

Environment:

  • Windows 11
  • RTX 4050, i5 13th gen, 32GB RAM
  • LLM engine: Ollama (Qwen 2.5 7B), local Whisper for transcription
  • Source video: 71 min MP4
