Question

Eyedropper tool in Lumetri color > Curves > Hue v Sat will only pick red no matter where I select.

I have only one track targeted, and when I select anywhere in the monitor the color is returned as red.  I've read elsewhere in this forum that this happens with Macs or when scaling, but I am on Windows 11 and there are no other effects applied to my clip.  No matter what I do red is always returned.  Thoughts?

I did try nesting last night, that is always my go-to move for trying to get around a glitch.  I'll dump preferences and see what happens.

Well, that's dang frustrating. As I know this has often fixed that issue of Lumetri not grabbing the correct pixel.

 

Sometimes resetting workspaces or even trashing preferences has helped with this though. But I think calling on further help is advised.

 

Maybe @Ann Bens might have some assistance here.

Docked the panel and no change.  I will keep the floating monitor issue(s) in mind in the future though.  Thank you.

Ahh, the Program monitor is floating ... dock it. Floating monitors don't work so well for everything, unfortunately.

 

I don't guarantee it will fix this, but most likely will.

The other tracks are locked, so the only track available to select is the active one.

Hi R Neil,

 

Here is a video.  I should have posted this from the start.

I can't see what you were clicking on to get the color ... that might help to see. This would certainly be a royal pain.
