Shifting color issue

Hello, I'm working with Vegas 21.0 and I have a tripod interview clip around 15 minutes long I am working with and now I have this on my PC I have noticed that the color temperature keeps changing throughout the interview. I've been trying to figure out how I can fix this issue. Sometimes it moves so quickly I makes it hard to try and manually to try a band-aid fix with fading in and out color corrected copy. The video was shot over a year ago and I don;t even recall this happening when I was shooting it. Anyway, just thought I'd put this out there to see if anyone has a possible fix idea. Thanks.

You seem to be describing DolbyVision format, which has dynamic metadata. Vegas can't decode the colors correctly under shifting light.

The paid version of Davinci Resolve is a licensed Dolby product.

@Nick-Knedler You could try to use the free "Autolevel" plugin from https://www.semw-software.com/en/autolevels/ which also dynamically corrects color changes.

Unfortunately, the dynamic shifts occur in the Gamma domain, and not Levels, whose endpoints remain constant.
