I've noticed a weird behavior of the editor. After saving an animation all of the Replay buttons are disabled (they were enabled before ofc).

Did some checking and the responsible for this is the _applyAction == null in the following code

private void Playback_CanExecute(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    e.CanExecute = Project != null && Project.Frames.Count > 1 && !IsLoading && _applyAction == null;
}

as when Save is executed the _applyAction is set to _applyAction = SaveAsButton_Click; in the finally of SaveAsButton_Click . After that apparently it never gets nullified again. I guess this is done to prevent playing the video while saving/encoding is performed (although my simple/quick test with commenting out this line didn't show any issues of playing while saving).

I guess the fix would be to set _applyAction to null when encoding is done, but not sure if that's possible in the current architecture of the system?
