That option is greyed out which should indicate that no effect has been applied. I know the program well enough at this point that I would have known if I had applied an effect.... As I said in my previous post my I'm theorizing that the info dump from MediaInfo seems to indicate that though the file is labeled as being at 225Mbps, it has a Maximum file bit rate of 40Mbps. I was hoping someone could confirm this. The files rendered fine after I had used another program to re-encode them at bit rate under 40Mbps. ... View more

Something I noticed in the information there is that it says Bit rate                                 : 225 Mb/s Maximum bit rate                         : 40.0 Mb/s That maximum bit rate worried me, so I took the video files and used Handbrake to lower the bit rate. I tried 40 on the dot and the program stalled on that, tried 39 and then 38, still didn't take it. Once I reached 35mbps, the program stopped stalling on  the last percentage. I assume the reason for this is because the bitrate can fluctuate. Regardless of that, the videos that I brought to under 40mbps did work with full color, no splotches. So would it be that the format that the video is using is limited to 40Mbps maximum? ... View more

My apologies. The format is standard mp4. The operating system is Windows 10 Pro with the most recent updates. This is screen capture and I have been using the screen capture program for a while without issue. I increased the bitrate from 8mbps to 200mbps and the videos worked the same without issue. I have also used 24mbps without issue as well. I have tried other bitrates as well, 150 and 160 as well, (there about) with no change. The program I have been using is Overwolf Regardless of that, the videos recorded at 200mbps play fine with full color, but as I said when you bring them into the program for editing, they lose most of their color with patches showing up here and there. Hope that clarifies my situation ... View more
