This is because editly is using an outdated version of gl without any pre-built binaries. The old version requires a manual build step on mac which must have some dependency issues.

I fixed this using npm/pnpm overrides to directly pin the version that it uses internally and now it works fine.

Example:

package.json

  {
  ...rest of package json,
  "pnpm": {
    "overrides": {
      "gl": "8.1.6"
    }
  }

Editly fix could be to update the gl dependency to latest version
