A comparison between a view of Kdenlive and VLC media player

SUMMARY
When importing videos into Kdenlive, color is noticeably not as vivid and seems to have a white "tint" over it almost. It renders it like this as well. Seems to be visible more in videos taken at sunset. It does *not* behave like this using the 19.12.1 AppImage and looks exactly the same as VLC does, I think it may be related to hardware acceleration somehow as the AppImage does not support it. I'm not sure.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Import footage into Kdenlive
2. Open said footage in VLC
3. Look at side-by-side with the preview window

OBSERVED RESULT
Footage has a weird white tint look to it compared to the VLC view

EXPECTED RESULT
Footage should look mostly the same as VLC

Yes this is MOVIT releated. As MOVIT (GPU acceleration) is not stable it's switched off in AppImage. Switch off MOVIT for the time being.

Ahh I see. I think for now I'll leave it enabled and then render without it as it's basically impossible to edit without gpu acceleration for me.
