The video tutorial explains stack unwinding and the pitfalls of manual memory management with exception handling. It demonstrates how local objects are destroyed during stack unwinding, but heap-allocated objects can lead to memory leaks if not managed properly. The video emphasizes using smart pointers and the RAII principle to manage memory safely. It also suggests using vectors instead of dynamic arrays to simplify code and prevent memory leaks. The tutorial concludes with a preview of the next video on nested exception handling.
