this is something i've run into with upgrading to sdk33. if you use patch-package you can fix by modifying Trimmer.java like so:

replace

retriever.release();

with

try {
        retriever.release();
} catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
}

then run npx patch-package react-native-video-processing

I'm not a Java dev so i have no idea what to do with the exception but hey it works.

there is a PR in here to fix this but I think this is a dead repo so...
