color correction changes vanished?

[sean90291]

So before leaving for a long Christmas holiday, I was rushing to get a short project finished for a broadcaster. And one thing I did in the last hours before delivery was "legalize" everything: I turned on the legal color warnings, and adjusted all of the levels until the warnings disappeared. I output my project to HDV tape, sent the project off by courier and got on the plane.

So I have only just now, in February, 2 months later, re-opened the project to have a look. And EVERYTHING in the sequence has an "illegal color warning" again. And I'm like, huh? I just KNOW I spent the time legalizing everything in the sequence, and now every single shot seems to say it's illegal again. Where did my work go? I'm just not sure. Everything else looks right. It's got the bars and the tones and the credits and looks like the final product I remember racing to finish. But all the legalizing is apparently gone.

Anyone got a theory?

fatigue? too much weed?
I dunno, man. You may check the attic. I have never had a sequnce undo stuff on me while it's closed.
all that said, you should check into some scopes on ebay.

Seems obvious, but you sure your looking at the right sequence? Could someone have loaded another sequence (pre-corrected). Im with, been on an Avid for 9 yrs and never seen it undo effects.

I agree, I feel like I'm losing my marbles. I don't think it was an Avid issue--everything else is perfect and exactly as it should be in the sequence. So I'm pretty I've done something wrong. But damn it's strange. Anyhow, I just thought I'd ask in case it was something someone had seen before. But I knew it was probably human error, and I'll just have to figure out where the heck the right sequence went!
