@ianmiell i think this is because you tried to use the timeline feature without having enabled it (somehow)

i can figure out how to make this more intuitive

you can try to disable timeline in settings and click update and restart to fix this (or not opening the timeline window without enabling the feature)

update: the error shouldnt cause any issues "frame cache not initialized"

there was an issue with ffmpeg that we fixed, does it work for you now?
