Diferent color after import to shotcut

Hi, I am finding a color problem, I am capturing a game and the colors when I imported the file to shotcut are without contrast, when I play the file on vlc or the capture software the color is correct. Do you know why is this happening? Screenshot_2|690x465

Thanks in advance

With the file selected in Shotcut, go to Properties > menu button > More Information… and paste the text here.

This is the info

Here is the problem as I suspected. It is HDR, and Shotcut does not support HDR. I am planning to soon provide a way to down-convert HDR to SDR, but that is probably not what you want. You can try to use another tool like VLC to convert and transcode it, but you might want to keep the HDR and use a different tool that supports it.
