I am using Aegisub on a mac, and have really enjoyed all the functionality it offers for free. However, the frequency at which it crashes gets so ridiculous that several times I’ve nearly quit using it.

The subtitle file type is .ass, and the video is .mp4.

I can’t figure out why, but here’s what I have noticed pattern-wise:
- it only crashes when I load the audio and/or video along with the subtitle file
- it crashes on specific entries in the subtitle file, like “someone help me!” crashes the program every time I select it, but the lines before and after can be fine
- it doesn’t seem to have to do with what’s in the problem entry, as I tried tweaking start-end times and text content, but it would still crash
- I don’t see any interval pattern in line index numbers between problem entries

Is there some designated RAM preference I can change, like I saw for just audio in a different thread, or another known reason for this crashing problem?

Solving this could save me a world of hassle, so thanks!
