I use PowerDirector 15.

I have successfully edited about 10 videos in PowerDirector.

I use Zoom to record interviews with people. the Zoom interviews are recorded in mp4 format. I have successfully edited these interviews in PowerDirector 15 before.

But one video seems to create a dark video version in the beginning. At first I thought it might be a problem with the video intro I was using, so I stripped out everything, imported only the recorded interview, made a small snip at the front to remove the getting set up portion and then produced it.

The first part of the video comes out dark again. The original interview file isn't dark.

Any ideas?
