Hello all. I'm using Pinnacle Studio 11.2 Ultimate on an Intel 2.4GHz Quad with 2GB DDR3 and an Nvidia GeForce 8800GT with 1GB DDR3. I'm editing AVCHD .MTS files from a Canon HF100 at 1920x1080 24p.

My editing has gone on with no problems. The only effect I used was BIAS SoundSoap to remove some loud A/C noise on a couple of shots.

However, when I go to Make Movie, and I render the file, no matter which format I choose, the output is always in black & white. I have tried AVI, DIVX, MP4 and WMV with compression and without compression. No luck. I have searched through all the project and output settings looking for anything that might cause this, but I can't find a thing.

I have all the Pinnacle updates installed, and I did render a movie out in color last week, so I have no idea why the program suddenly started doing this.

Any help is appreciated because I can't find anything about this on any other support sites -- including Pinnacle's.

This actually was not a Pinnacle issue, but an Nvidia issue. In the Nvidia control panel there is a video playback settings tab, which has slider to adjust hue, saturation, etc. Something caused my saturation slider to be readjusted all the way to 0, so while getting color on everything else, all my video playback was in black and white.
