Hi everyone. For a few days I have had problems applying the effect of brightness and contrast. Immediately the video I'm working on turns black with blue and purple markings. Does anyone know what can be due?

I do not advise anyone to work with the old Brightness and Contrast effect at all ... ever. It's an 8-bit effect, and any use means that you a dropping the processing of the clip ... and therefore any export ... into 8 bits at the time that is processed. See the following graphic, where there is no 32-bit lego block after B&C?

 

Use the Lumetri effect in the Color Workspace, use RGB Curves ... but be very wary of using 8 bit effects on tonal/color correction work.
