We have had a couple reports of color not being applied properly to some clips when they are actually rendered out. From the logs we’ve been able to gather so far, this issue seems related to using dissolves.
@hans did find and fix a few things that could cause inconsistent behavior when dissolves are added and modified, which we fixed in build 4845, but @jason recently reported he is still seeing color not be applied to some clips on occasion.
In the latest logs, there are some messages like this:
"0","Cortex","Error","Cortex//OnAddDissolveCommandExecuted(0): Unmatched pipeline element counts","","07-12-2014 09:41:41.062","17448","1","182164461424","DCD1"

If you are on build 4845 or later and continue to see this, please add any more info you have here and send your logs to support. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of the remaining issue soon.
EDIT: we now think this was not related to dissolves, but another bug which could cause the framing, color and other effects to get overwritten for the last selected clip after switching between the clip bin and other reel bins… that issue was fixed in v1.5.2 b4867.
EDIT: still seeing this after that update, though now it does seem limited to clips with dissolves on them.
