Color changes when playing then when paused.

In the beta version of Premiere Pro, while using the new Color Mode, I noticed that the color shifts / changes when the clip is playing. When it’s paused, I grade the clip to where I want it to be. Then when it starts playing, it shifts. Watching the scopes, I see it change. The clip is relatively static where the background doesn’t change. But the scope shows it changing. And the color temperature and or tint shifts which is noticeable. This is a bug in my opinion as the clip’s grading should not change between being paused and playing.

    Hi ​@Peaceful_Mirage5C57 ,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback and for the detailed observation regarding the color shift/changes in the new Color Mode.

    Could you please try enabling High Quality Playback, Playback Resolution to Full and Paused Resolution to Full in the Program Monitor and see if that helps? You can do this by:

    • Open the Program Monitor
    • Click on the wrench (settings) icon
    • Enable High Quality Playback
    • Set Playback Resolution to Full
    • Set Paused Resolution to Full

    Sometimes playback quality settings can affect how color is rendered during playback versus when paused.

    If the issue still persists after enabling this option, could you please share a bit more information (such as your system specs, footage format, and any repro steps)? This will help us investigate the issue further.

    Really appreciate you bringing this up—it helps us improve the experience!
