Colour workflow & grade go dark when switching monitors/ using a dual screen setup

  • Issue: Colour grades made using the colour tab get infected by darkness when using an external screen on MAC. MAcbook pro & Apple studio display 2026
  • Steps to Reproduce: Click on graded clip on the timeline, enter colour mode, instant loss of quality & exposure. click on any adjustment operator modules for that to be infected with a darker look too.
  • Expected Result: Exposure should not change from clicking the colour tab or clicking on adjustments with no parameter changes.
  • Actual Result: Video grade got darker with no Undo, no fix apart from removing the colour grade from the effects control and replacing it with an uninfected grade.
  • Screen Recording: yes but i cant share the project,
  • Premiere Version: Application: Adobe Premiere Pro 2027.0 (Macintosh) 27.0.0 (Build 88) Operating system: Macintosh 27.2.0 OS architecture: arm64 Processor: MacBookPro18,2 (10 logical / 10 physical cores) Memory: 32.0 GB available of 32.0 GB Graphics: AGXG13X Graphics Kernel Extension (driver 362.5.1.0) Display 1: Built-in Retina Display - 1728 x 1029 @ 2.00x Display 2: Studio Display - 2560 x 1410 @ 2.00x
  • Operating System: MacOS 27.2 (26B123)
  • Chip (Mac Only): M1 MAX
  • Project Size: 5.8MB

Looks like i’m back to using Lumetri until this is out of beta in a few years.🫠

Edit: Why remove the lumetri tab, even as a workflow its still useful. I honestly don’t understand Adobe.

    Hi ​@RichGSA 

    Thank you for providing the Screen recording and screenshot. I was able to file a ticket without an internal reproduction based on the observations. We may need to reach out for more diagnostic information at a later time but we truly appreciate your help in this matter.

    I will update the status of this post in the meantime.

    Thank you,

    Amy

    Hello ​@RichGSA 

    Welcome back to the Premiere Forums. I sent you a private message with a private upload link for this issue. A screen recording would be most helpful. We would also appreciate a screenshot of your Mac System Settings for the Displays, if you could provide that.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Let me know if you’ve received the link.

    Best,

    Amy
