AnimatedTexture animation is accelerated when the application is started for the first time

Describe the bug AnimationChannel and AnimatedTexture speed inconsistencies

Expected behavior When I initially start it up, there seems to be a speeding up of the frame rate. This problem goes away when the programme runs for 2-3 seconds.

Hi, thanks for this. It's likely caused by the engine incorrectly calculating tpf / fps at the start. There is an open PR which should fix it in the future releases.

Thank you for your reply. Are there any plans for a release?
