Bug description 🐛

Hello,
We have been experiencing a problem with DeepLabCut since the most recent update. The program freezes consistently, either while analyzing a video or when trying to create a video with the predicted poses.

We have tried reinstalling DeepLabCut, but the issue continues. Before the latest update, everything was working well without these problems.

Has anyone else experienced this issue, or is there a recommended solution or workaround?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steps To Reproduce

Open DeepLabCut 3.0.1.
Open an existing DeepLabCut project.
Select a video for analysis.
Start Analyze Videos.
DeepLabCut begins processing the video but eventually freezes and becomes unresponsive.

The same issue also occurs when attempting to create a video with the predicted poses after analysis.

We have reproduced the issue multiple times, and it occurs consistently. We also tried reinstalling DeepLabCut, but the freezing continued.
