    I’m not sure this is a timeline error, but sometimes when I’m trying to play back a sequence, it images stutter or does’nt play smoothly. After attempting to do this, in the timecode line, I see some very small red & yellow lines forming only where it had played. It’s obviously trying to tell me that there is some kind of error.

    What error is it?

    The yellow bar means it played back all frames, but struggled to do so. The red bars mean frames were dropped in those areas to sustain playback.

    These are typically seen when you don’t have fast enough hard drives to playback as many streams of audio/video as are in your timeline, or you have unrendered effects your system is struggling to play. Render the effects in that area and see if it fixes the issue.
