Thank you Andrew, that's exactly it.

Looks like Timeline tries to load the last used file on start, though I can't find any config files to purge to tell it not to.

I would have though running another version of the program would bypass this issue.

Thanks again.

Looks like it's getting bad data from somewhere and trying to create a
0x0 pixel image. Could your data have become corrupted somehow?

Hope that helps,
