Timeline not playing in editor nor play mode

Unity Engine

Unity version: 2021.3.24 LTS
Timeline version: 1.6.5

For whatever reason my timeline will not play in preview in edit mode, nor when i scrub through it, nor will it play on awake (even thought it’s checked) in play mode.

I literally have one track and all it does is fade the alpha of a UI image

what could possibly be wrong?

nvm… animator must be set to “Always Animate” for it to work…
