OpenShot Video Editor

Video shows wrong colors in timeline, preview is OK

Asked by Steve Randall

I add an MP4 (from youtube) to my project. If I "preview file" it looks fine. If I move the file to the timeline and play it there, I get false colors, like a corrupted palette or something. If I output the project I get the same false colors. This is on Arch Linux, but when I try the exact same thing booting from the AV Linux disk it works fine. This is version 1.4.3 in both cases.

I see the same effect as well with a slideshow made up of JPG pictures. Interestingly, they look OK while fading in and out, but have bad colors in the middle.

It's nice to know that there's still development going on, but discouraging that it doesn't (yet) fix the problem.
