After Premiere upgrade, saturation on timeline went off while footage saturation remained the same

Hi, so I recently upgraded Premiere after a series of crashes, but the crashes aren't the problem:

 

Once rebooted, my timeline window displays the footage saturated when no saturation effect has been added, while the raw footage remains flat, adn when I export the footage it keeps the saturation... what has happened here? I'm thinking of some solutions like relinking all the footage, but I need to know what has happened here to avoid it again in the future, and any other solution suggestions if available... (oh, and it's not a hardware issue, or if it is it's a weird one as I've opened the file in several different computers and the issue remains)

Image attached (right is raw flat footage .MXF, left is timeline window):

 

Thanks!

Hi ENON films,

 

Sorry to hear about this. In which color space was the media  recorded? Also, if this project was created in the previous version of Premiere Pro, please try these steps & check if it helps.

  • Right-click on the media file in the Project panel.
  • Select Modify > Interpret Footage.
  • Under Color Management, set Color Space Override to Rec. 709 & click OK.

Let us know if restores the correct preview.

 

Thanks,

Sumeet

Hi Sumeet,

My problem is worse than the saturation overlay... all of my source material.. simple, shot in HD on my iPhone and used successfully to produce rough versions successfully exported (through Premiere) are now, after upgrading the version, appearing as either solid green or digital "hash" in both source and playback monitors - although thumbnails appear properly (but scrub to green (see image)).  When using "Reveal in Finder" clips play perfectly in QT.   Tried unlinking and was hoping system would ask me to relink... but it didn't.  Tried your suggestion (above) and am still getting green hash screen.  Tried creating New Project and re-importing... still giving me green.  Thoughts?

Do you mean create a new posting for this different issue (with same description) - so that it's no longer part of this thread?
