Hi, I encountered a new problem with Sony a1 footage and don't know how to correct this. Hope the gurus can help me, PLEASE. I am still using PE 2020 Window version and never had an issue with Sony a1 footage until yesterday when I noticed layers of color bands -- red, green, blue, violet ... -- suddenly appearing on top of each footage. Please see attached snapshot. All sony clips are auto-captured as Rec 709. I uninstalled/re-installed the program and problem didnt go away. I tried using another computer but also showing same problem. How to correct this issue? Please help. Thank you for your time and patience. 🙂

I am still pulling hairs here. Please look at the attached screenshot closely. The red color band as seen in this video clip is not a plain straight color band. It followed the curve of the left wall to the steps to right wall. Any idea what's going on here? I thank you so much for your input.

You will have to convert the footage as I think it's in the source (as codec?) as the same issue occurs in DaVinci.

Upload a clip for testing!

Are you using the NVIDIA Studio driver (and not the Game driver)?

Uncheck Hardware acceleration.

Thank you, John. Updating didnt help. I updated from NVDIA Graphic 462.59 to latest 528.49. The color bands still persist. The problem started when I was playing with the Auto-Color in Color Adjustment panel to see how that footage would look like. When I didnt like the outcome and reset it, those color bands stay, and the rest of my Sony clips are now also color-banded. Do you have any other ideas how to resolve this issue? I'm stuck and cannot proceed with my family vacation project. I thank you so much for your help.
