Question

My file turned yellow

I am using Premiere 2023. I imported my footage into my project, made edits, and then saved and closed it. Everything looked fine. When I re-opened my project a week later, the footage was yellow. (see attached) I have not applied any effects. I tried to replace the footage but that remains yellow. If I import new footage, it imports correctly with no yellow tint. I have closed Premiere and restarted my computer, but it remains yellow. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
Thank you for your help.

Delete the Media Cache and Media Cache files:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the preferences:

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.

Ann Bens and Peru Bob,
Thank you for your suggestions. I tried everything with no success. I've now taken longer to try to fix it than it would have taken to start over, so I'm going to start from scratch. Thanks again for your help.

I see a red strip under the FX icon.

By any chance added lumetri as source effect.

Have not see this colour before: make sure your graphic card driver is up to date.

Post comp specs incl drivers.
