Does this discussion help?

Hi Food & Justice -

The problem is obvious (just as you've described), but the cause isn't.

Is there any chance you could upload an unedited MOV file for testing? Aside from the colour shift, there are some odd artefacts displaying in the YT video. Are these in the produced file on your Mac?

Edit: I should have done some digging around to find that post optodata referenced. If that's the issue, forget what I said.

That's a good idea in any case

I think I found the issue, but I don't know how to fix it. All the other MOV files I added to the project have Color profile: HD (1-1-1). The one giving me trouble has Color profile: BT.2020 HLG (9-18-9).

Here's a link to the MOV file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IXSnEgW7szi2IVaBPD71LCrkJAeuIDqs/view?usp=sharing

Thanks for the sample clip.

On my Windows machine, everything works normally with this 10-bit 4:2:0 BT.2020 HEVC MOV clip. I used PD365 to produce it to 8-bit 4:2:0 BT.709 HEVC .M2TS (which was the recommended setting from the built-in Profile Analyzer tool) and have attached it here.

I expect it'll work as expected when you open and produce it on your Mac. If so, then you'd probably want to set your camera to use 8-bit 4:2:0 for new videos and you'll need to convert all existing clips using a free app like Handbrake or VirtualDub2.

You should also open a support ticket here and provide a link to this forum discussion so they can see everything we've worked through. Ultimately they're the only people that can fix this incompatibility issue.

Thanks! That appears to have worked!
