Saturation in DaVinci Resolve Video Output

Solved

Hello,

I have a problem with the DaVinci Resolve 16 editing software that I just can't seem to solve.

I completed and exported a video edit, but when I watch it, there is a moment where it clips (with white lines appearing out of nowhere). I don't understand why this happens, especially at that moment, as the edit I did is not exceptional; it's just an element that shifts and then disappears. Moreover, this action is repeated three times, but the other two times there is no issue. I tried to edit the problematic video by covering the clipping moment with an image of the same color to hide the clipping underneath, but unfortunately, another clipping issue occurs at the same moment in the output of this video, which I find incomprehensible.

If you need details about my computer, it's an Acer laptop with 6 GB of RAM, running Windows 10, and 461 GB out of 930 are used. (I don't know if this is useful; I'm not very knowledgeable about this.)

    Hello, I sympathize, but I don't know the cause of the bug. It seems you don't have a powerful machine for video editing. The most important thing for video editing is the processor, and you didn't mention it.
    I think you should redo your project. You might have a transition or a mini file left over from a cut that is invisible if you don't expand your timeline and detect a trace that could be a mini file disrupting your project.

      Thank you for your response, but I didn't understand the fact that there could be a mini file that would create these white lines, could you provide more details? And as for the processor, I don't exactly know what it is, I'm not familiar enough with computers.

        Hello, for example, when you do a cut, it may happen that there is a file that is too small to be taken into account by your engine, resulting in debris. This is also true for transitions that we've covered.
        You need to extend the timeline and repair a small vertical line and then delete it.

        Thank you very much for these clarifications.
        It seems that this is not the problem because when I put the problematic video on another editing software, the saturation disappears, which increases my confusion. In the end, I solved the problem by exporting the video from another software, but I see no logic in it since it's the video with the saturation that I used.
        So I don't understand why when the video comes out of DaVinci Resolve it is saturated, and then when it goes through another software, it is fine?

    Hello, taking a project and transferring it to another software is impossible for me; the project is the property of the PC and the software. You must have taken your original clip to edit it on another PC or software, so the bug seemed to occur in your project.

      I may not have expressed myself clearly. What I meant to say is that I exported my project from DaVinci Resolve, but when I watched the video, there was a moment of saturation. Then, I put this video into another software, which is Shotcut, and exported it without any modifications, and it turns out that the saturation had disappeared when I watched the video output from Shotcut. However, I find this quite incomprehensible. In the end, I got the result I wanted, but the solution to my problem seems very strange to me, and I wanted to know if there is a reason for this to avoid having to perform this manipulation next time.

        Hello, I hope this will remain a whim of computing.
