Comparing video versions is crashing Replay.
Attempting to compare two versions on replay is causing the page to crash into an unexpected error message. This happens whether I attempt to compare versions from the thumbnail or with one of the videos loaded. It's happening across all of my projects and across multiple web browsers.
Anyone having the same issue or know how to solve?

brendenbc Thanks a lot for reporting this issue - it was broken for all the users and sadly we did not catch that earlier in the development process. I just released a new version of the app, where it's fixed. Please let us know if you bump into any other issues. Thanks!

Hey there, brendenbc let's jump right into this!
I know this might sound trivial but as a first step, can you ensure there are two (or more) versions of the file to compare? If there's no other version, the UI may fail upon attempting to compare.
Is this the first time this is happening? If I were you, I'd also try to disable any browser-related add-ons and extensions. I'm suggesting that since certain ones can interfere with expected browser behavior.While you're at it, you might also want to try clearing your cookies and cache since this can often fix display issues.
I'll be waiting for your updates, and we'll take it from there. Thanks!

Thanks Megan! To follow up with something I should have mentioned, when I select "compare versions" on a video with two (or more) versions, Replay loads up the vids in the dual viewer window for a second before crashing. So I can see it attempting to work, but it results in an error after about a half second of loading.
I've removed the only Safari extension (Aspera) and cleared cookies and caches, but no luck yet. I've also tried with fresh installs of Safari and Chrome. This is the first time I'm experiencing this error, so I don't have any prior experience with why this may be happening.
I realize errors like this are probably hard to diagnose from afar, if there's anything else you think I should try just let me know. Thanks much for the help.
