Comment 3 for bug 1489922

I am encountering this exact same problem. A few details which MIGHT be helpful to those doing troubleshooting:

1. I was using Lubuntu 15.4 fully updated and everything was working fine. I was able to edit videos and export them. They looked okay.
2. I updated to 15.10.
3. After updating, every video I create has this false color effect, plus every video project I had previously created now has the same problem if I try to preview within openshot or re-export the video. Videos I had previously exported while I was still running 15.4 can still be viewed with Gnome and still look like it did before the upgrade. As previously stated, every video exported now, after upgrading, has the false color effect.

All three event conditions listed above occurred within 2 days of each other, and the only change to my system was the 15.10 upgrade.

Clearly something got "upgraded" to include this new "feature" where false color is forced on every video.

Has anyone verified that the distribution is distributing the correct versions of everything?

I am postponing attempting any of the fixes listed above for a couple of days in an effort to be helpful. What information about my current "buggy" system configuration would be helpful for someone to know before I attempt any of the above fixes? (noob on Linux, but I follow instructions well. Please give good instructions on how to gather any information you might want me to provide. I'm not even sure how to look up what MLT version my system is currently running... although I haven't tried to look that up yet.)

Thanks for all the hard work everyone does on all this stuff.
