Can you share a screenshot of the Shotcut “Properties” panel for your source clip?

I wonder if this other thread can shed light on the situation here: Strange colors on macOS after update to v23

Thank for the reply I went back to v. 12/22 but the color of 4K is not reflected on Shotcut. Take a look the old version vs my original footage. No justice is done !

No. That problem is unrelated.

Your screenshot indicates that the file is encoded using HLG - which is a type of HDR.

Shotcut does not operate on HDR natively But Shotcut has a conversion feature that can convert the HDR to SDR for editing in Shotcut.

If you want to use Shotcut to edit these files, here are some steps.

1. Open your file
2. Click on the “Convert…” button in the properties panel
3. Choose Advanced
4. Click “Convert to BT.709 Colorspace”
5. Click “OK”
6. Wait for the conversion to complete
7. Edit and export as usual
