  • FCPX timeline suddenly looking all washed-out, after re-opening project. :(

    Hello: I had quit my FCP project, then re-opened it. Now, the picture on the timeline is all washed out, looking overexposed. The meters are right on, and the minor tweaks I made to color and exposure were no longer implemented in the timeline. And again, that timeline looks all washed out. All this, after doing a bit of work with the RodcasterVideo deck, then going back to the FCPX project. Thoughts? Thank you! 🙂

    What happened when you open up the last backup of that project?

    does that look the same?

    Hi Patrick: Thank you for the awesomely quick response. Issue solved when I started looking at other files. Somehow, the monitor setting got tweaked (embarrassing, I know). I think this happened, for some reason, on a re-start. ‘Looks back to normal now. But thanks again – I’m always amazed at folks’ generosity of knowledge. Take care! 😉
