white timeline?

Hi, I have just downloaded shotcut onto my Imac and the timeline is white? When a file is loaded the timeline stays white? The preview is fine but theres nothing on the timeline, Its just… white. Any help is appreciated.

That means it is incompatible. I do not think there is anything you or I can do about it. That part of the technology is not written by us. Which version did you download, and which OS version?

It might be incompatible with versions of Shotcut from past couple of years. I have a few macs from many years, and it works on all of them. I do not know how old your iMac is (that info along with the version of Shotcut you are trying can help). The download page says this:

Important: If you have a Mac that is from 2013 or earlier you might experience a video preview color problem due to our migration to Apple Metal. In that case, use version 22.12.21.

So, you might try this older version if you have an old iMac.
