Bright green colors turning dark black

ville-i wrote on 3/8/2019, 1:15 PM

I just finished my long game video project, and everything seemed well, except that suddenly all the green shades turned their colors in to dark black out of nowhere, this is happening in every clip I have. If I used more clips to this project they all turn black, but if I use the same clips in a fresh project they are normal green colored, do I have some setting on or something? Please see examples

I was working with the video close to 20 hours and I feel all my progress is gone, help please!

As you suggest, you may have inadvertently applied an effect. Since additional clips display the same colouringit would most likely be either a project effect or a track effect. Click on the "fx" icons at the top of the preview window and in the track list (right side of the timeline - under the hamburger menu in VP15) and check what effects if any are showing in the effects chain.

EDIT: also check the "fx" icon above the Project Media bin in case an effect has been applied at that level.

Cheers, Robbie

There's also a button in the preview window that bypasses all fx, try to press it. Also make sure your project isn't set to 32 bit, I know when editing HDR, there are a couple glitches that can make some shades of some colors black out like that, it's something the team has been working on fixing. If by chance that bug is affecting you, make sure your project is set to 8 bit.
