    Recently I opened up my Sony Vegas Pro project to find that all of the bright lights in one part of a video had gone entirely black (this also apply’s to other text and video effect I have added in at this part). I’ve searched my timeline completely for any video effects that may be causing the problem, but haven’t found out why. Please help, this was not occurring last time I opened my project.

    Try muting your video tracks from the top-most on down. Prehaps the mode on one of your tracks got changed. Also bypass your fx one at a time and check to make sure you don’t have any keyframes that shouldn’t be. If that doesn’t work you may need to give us a screenshot and more details.

    I’ve tried muting each video track above my main video track and still nothing. I’ve also noticed it’s removing all pure white, including white text. I tried re-adding the video back in and got the same result.
    The only way I’ve found to fix this is adding the ‘night’ color curve effect in, but this makes the video look way too dark, and turning up the brightness with it makes it look terrible.
    I am only currently using the Night Color Curve effect for the outside scenes of the video, and if I remove it from the outside scene it gets the same result, all bright white entirely black.
