System Information
Operating system: MacOS Ventura 13.2.1
Graphics card: Apple M1

Blender Version
Broken: ?
Worked: ?

No it didn't work and I never tested on any other version.

Short description of error
if blender file is saved in VSE. it hangs.. doesn't finish its processing.
if it is saved by any chance, it won't open as recent files or from open menu.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

open blender
select "Video Editing" from splash screen OR from file new menu.
No need to do anything.
Just save the file.
Now close the blender
now open Blneder again
Drag and Drop any image or video from Finder to Blender's "Sequencer"
Save this file..
if time slider is not "on the video/image strip"..

it will save
if time slider is "on the video/image strip" .

and you saved the file. it will hang here.. can't do anything.. just force close blender
if at step number 9. file is saved.
open the file.. it will open and when the time slider will move on the video sequence.
it will hang. "force close it"
if there is nothing in Sequencer. and file is saved..
if you will add any layer i.e. color, text. it will hang as same as step 10.

Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).
untitled.blend file is attached.

One more thing..
if you switch to 3D mode.. it saves and opens flawlessly. But as you switch to Video Editing.. it will halt again.

Hi @mfarooqi which version are you using now? (Use Blender icon -> About Blender)

Also please upload us your system info file saved by Help -> Save System Info.

Could not reproduce this with 3.5~4.0 on linux.

I followed these steps on an empty file and the one you uploaded, and everything seemed fine for me using Blender 3.6 on Linux/Windows 10

now open Blneder again

Here I opened the same file I created before as per your steps.

if time slider is "on the video/image strip" .

and you saved the file. it will hang here.. can't do anything.. just force close blender

Here, no issues in Blender 3.6, Linux/Windows 10

if you will add any layer i.e. color, text. it will hang as same as step 10.

No issues, Blender 3.6, Linux/Windows 10

After saving your file, I would suggest,

File > Defaults > Load Factory Settings
and then open the file, see if it helped.
And, also try to run the script file blender_factory_startup.cmd that resides in your Blender installation folder

Maybe some addon is causing a problem, this may resolve with above steps. Then you can figure out which addon is the culprit.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the tip..

I didn't want to loose my settings. Shortcuts, My stylus settings and everything. Only these add-ons are enabled.. i think pretty much the default ones.. but only Node Wrangler is additional.

Alternatively I downloaded a new copy of Blender 3.6, with all default factory settings... and that is working fine.

I also tried to import User preferences form 3.5 to 3.6 .. and it stopped working again.

After this I compared all the settings side by side.

This was the issue. I hve enabled "disk cache" and the path was given as "//" (Double slash for cwd) .. in 3.6 it was showing complete path but in 3.5 it was not showing complete path.. because I've imported settings from 3.4 or may be older then that version.

After updating the disk cache path from // (double slash) to (proper path).. it started working.

Thank you every one.
