Images with a grey hue when dragging onto timeline. HELP!

I opened up Premier Pro to do some editing and now my title slide is all in Grey. I've added this same image from one of my bins in several other sequences and today I am having this new experience. I've tried to find a solution and I am stuck.  

Every image I try to drag into my timeline has this grey look to them like the image below.  

 

The opacity is at 100%.

I've restarted my computer.

I am having a beer!

Please help.

Did you end up finding a solution? I'm also running through this same issue.

It appears that assets added to the timeline are shown in an ungraded fashion, like a log format.

 

What are your sequence settings? Have you chosen a different working color space?

That Is a jpg file ... what is its color space? Check the clip properties in the bin. Make sure its CM settings are the same as the sequence.

If it was OK before:

 

Delete the Media Cache and Media Cache files:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the preferences:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro/faq-how-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-premiere-pro/td-p/8236158?page=1

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.
from here:

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver)

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Sadly none of these worked for me, I'm still having a grey tint on preview footage but when I render ou it's perfectly fine. Does anyone have any other tips for fixing the grey tint on preview?

Hi Di-onne1674,

What is the camera you used? What is the format? Let us know a bit more info. See if the footage works in a previous version of Premiere Pro.

 

Thanks,
Kevin
