  FCPX Trouble with colours – Exported videos look green

  Posted by Dan Marsh on April 6, 2019 at 7:39 pm

  I have been using final cut pro x for years now and never had an issue. All of a sudden I am having a huge issue with it.

  I colour grade my footage to look perfect and export the file. When I watch it in quicktime it looks perfect. The colours match exactly.

  When I open with VLC or any other player including web upload or even air-dropping to my iPhone (I presume also quicktime?) the video colours are completely out. They look darker with a green tint. What is going on here? I have never ever experienced this and now every video I try and export has the same result…

  Hey Dan,

  I know this isn’t advice for your problem specifically, but it’s worth trying since it’s a really odd issue.

  I’ve had a couple weird FCPX problems that I couldn’t find duplicates for online, and that nobody here had an answer for, that were fixed by creating a new user account on my Mac. Nothing else worked; not even deleting/reinstalling the app, updating, or deleting PLIST files. But a running the operation under new user account resolved them.

  I mean, I’d wait a couple days to see if this is a known issue, but barring that…

  Hi Jeff,

  Thanks so much for this advice, I will try this now. It has now got the point where I have tried everything and found no solution so it can’t hurt! I’ll report back!

  Thanks
