Hello everybody,

Using figma slide for presentation since couple of months, I just realise that figma slide is darkening the videos (of like 1 stop). Is there any way to fix / prevent this behaviour?

Thanks a lot !

Hi, I am having the same issue and wondering if you found a solution?

Hi ​@JTM  and ​@Anna Goss  👋 Thanks for flagging this!

A one-stop darkening on video specifically could be a color-management mismatch. 

To dig in, a few things would help:

  • A screen recording showing the darkening as it happens 

  • The source video file (if possible)

  • What exported the video?

  • Is it HDR or wide-gamut (Rec.2020 / Display P3)?

  • Does it darken in edit mode, present mode, or both?

Thank you! — Jaycee

Hello Jaycee,

Thanks for the feedback !

I just attached a screen recording showing the behaviour (it’s in edit mode but i have the same behavior in present mode)

Source video file is a classic mp4 H264 rec709 2.4 (1.1.1 tagged) video. So it’s not HDR neither wide gamut.

Thanks a lot ! :)
