Effect settings keep resetting

Same thing has been happening to me for years as well. I periodically sesarch the internet when I get frustrated enough.... and here I am again. 

Over the last decade plus, I've logged probably several thousand hours in Lumetri. Maybe only a thou or two in Resolve (studio of course). I have my issues with Lumetri, as the devs are well aware. It ain't nearly what we had in SpeedGrade and the awesome "Direct Link" ... not even close.

And that Direct Link was stable, solid, and sweet ... not at all like the Dynamic Link between Pr and Ae and Au. Ah well.

I've never had this behavior either on my four different desktops or my three laptops I've used. So just personal data, I can't replicate.

I also advise and make training materials for professional use ... and haven't had any contacts from that reply with this behavior. Which is not to say it doesn't happen, just providing context.

From that data, and having been one of the main volunteers here over a decade ... it's a pretty rare thing as a representation of the entire user base. The relative number seems to have increased just before the end of the 23.x builds and continued into the 24.x builds. And they have posted they are aware of a bug and are working on getting it fixed.

So hopefully the "uptick" cases get fixed here soon.

And as someone who teaches pros how to use Lumetri when they can't use Resolve ... I can do a lot more in Lumetri than most users realize. And do it faster also. You just gotta know the territory ... and have a control panel.

Premiere's processing order is pretty much top down. So both in the Effects Control Panel, the effect above another is processed first, and in the Lumetri panel, the upper controls are processed first.

So to begin with, your color steps are in a bad order. Do the WB step first. As any change to WB may easily cause a ripple of changes below, depending on the data the lower controls use. That may fix part of your troubles. Over the years, I've helped a number of people straighten out their color steps to get more defined, expectable results. And this has been a common sticking point.

Now ... if the Curves is resetting  to a straight line, that's a different issue. And would be very problematic to be polite.

A couple screen grabs of before/after would be very helpful. Detailed data always being a major part of troubleshooting.

Hi, thanks for the input. Yes, it happens on its own, even when that box isn't being touched at all. Off the top of my head (not able to verify right now), I'm not sure if it can happen while literally nothing is being done, but I feel like it happens on keypresses, or mouse clicks. Like in that clip I submitted, the trigger seemed to be me pressing Tab to switch to another parameter (even though it was a completely different one). The problem is that I'll finish doing something, switch to another sequence, then go back to find out that something set of parameter resets in the meantime. So annoying.

I agree this seemes like a veeery peculiar thing, and I'm not surprised it's tough to reproduce it, so I'm happy to have a remote sessions with someon, or to try and provide more detailed recordings. I will try to reproduce it on more than one computer, just to be sure.

I'm having this issue as well, are you running dual monitor?

I am currently on the 22.5 version (build 62). I have reset my preferences and cleared media cache numerous times since this issue first appeared, to no lasting effect, if any. I already stated that this issue was replicated on different computers and multiple operating systems. So, both PC and Mac, both Windows and OSX, Windows is usually 10, Macs are on Monterey. PCs include Lenovo Omen laptops, desktop computers with various configs, while Macs range from 2012 MacPros to latest M1 series ones.
