    Hi everybody !

    I was about to publish my game when I realized that playing a cutscene (full screen video) caused very bad performances especially for GPU (does four times more calculations).

    I use the function Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie. After a bit of search, I found that it lags because Apple prefers keeping the movie in memory even after it finished playing.

    Is there a way to unload the movie from memory ? Is there an other way to play a movie on iOS without causing memory and GPU issues ? Or can I just delete the asset file so that it's no longer in memory ?

    Thank you.
