Hello Tom,
Glad you got your final video produced as you wished, but it's concerning that ColorDirector's adjustments weren't retained correctly in the produced file.
I have noticed similar behaviours occasionally, but I cannot recall the particular steps I took. It's unclear exactly what steps you've taken so the issue might be replicated.
Could you provide a step-by-step procedure please? Were any of the adjustments tou made keyframed? When you say, "click Apply", do you mean "Back" (to return to PDR?)
I've just tested a few things here, all involving starting in PDR, selecting a clip for Fix/Enhance > ColorDirector, making adjustments, then returning to PDR for production. I've tried various global & regional adjustments.
Global - manual & preset
Regional - gradient mask & selection mask
In the tests I've run just now, I've been unable to replicate the issue. Obviously, there is one! Perhaps other members could test once you provide a little more detail.
