Video on all tracks washed out

Hi:

Anyone else have this happen? I was completing my project, finishing with some levels adjustments on the second to last clip when the levels fx acted very uncharacteristically in the clip I was working on.

Bewildered, I deleted levels from that clip, but the adjustment remained. Then I noticed that ALL the clips were likewise washed out; on all tracks. I tried adding clips to new track, but that too had this "effect". Thought that maybe I somehow added the level fx to the track, but no, the track has no fx applied to it.

Looks like I'll have to start this one over. From now on I'm going to do "save as" whenever I save so I won't loose all my work.

Just curious, though, if anyone else has had this happen and know what causes it?

Jon

You may have inadvertently applied your levels at the media level.
Right-click on the media icons in the Project Media window to see if this is what happened.

Since it's all tracks it might be applied to the master output, which is accessed by the FX icon over the preview window. Perhaps the effects chain was accidentally "drag'n'dropped" there. Is the FX icon over the preview window dark green or is it faded?

Musicvid & Chienworks:

WOW! I thought that my veg file must have been corrupted and that there was nothing that could be done about it. But you hit the nail on the head, and saved me hours of work.

Thank you!
