Hello,

I have a M4 MAX macbook and running the latest premiere (25.6) when I export certian timelines, some clips within the timeline are black and white, extremely saturated. I've reinstalled Mac OS, Premiere Pro, and removed text overlays/LUTS, new premiere project file, new sequence etc.

Tried 1 pass vs 2 pass, forced software encoding in export pannel, nothing is working.

I also have software encoding blacked out, and only am able to export CUDA metal currently.

Any ideas?

Update: still happens in pro-res as well, not repeatable 1 out of 5 times I export, it comes out clean. odd.

It seems to be linked to either a lumetri color or graphic layer above, when exporting to prores/quicktime the error doesnt happen

Hi @yessir2,

Welcome to the Premiere Pro forums and sorry you've been experiencing issues. What kind of source media are you working with?

You mentioned this is with certain timelines and only some clips—is there anything specific that sets these clips apart, like any effects or Lumetri changes? If you drop the unedited source footage from one of these affected clips in a separate and new sequence, is the export of that clip affected?

Does this happen if you export a ProRes file instead?

Sorry for the frustration,
Dani
