Description

Platform

Mac

Browser

Perplexity Comet

Current Behavior

After dragging a video from the upload section to the bottom edit panel, the preview is black and very jittery when I click play. This bug makes it quite difficult to edit with OpenCut because I am unable to view my work. Additionally, when the preview is unable to play, the final exported video is also black and jittery. This makes me believe it is a file upload issue.
