Why Video Player Settings are being reset all the time?

I have tried many video players on Mac like VLC, MKPlayer etc. When I set saturation/Brightness etc settings in a player, they won't last when I reopen the player. All the adjustments are being reset every time I close the player. Why is this happening? And is anybody have this kind of issue?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

I found a solution for VLC Player.


Click on "Window" in top menu and click on "Video Effects"..

It will open saturation, brightness etc settings and make the proper adjustments accordingly.

Then, at the bottom, there will be a drop-down option set to "Default".

Here you can create a new profile and select it.

After that, check mark "Apply profile at next launch"..

Finally, restart the VLC Player and it should preserve all the video adjustments even after the VLC closes and reopens...

Hello shivafeb17,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It's understood that you're having some issues with third-party video players.


Have you verified that your apps are up to date? Update apps or use automatic downloads


if you use the video player in another user account, do you have the same issue? Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac


You'll also want to test with an Apple TV app or Quick Time app to see if the issue still occurs:

Watch Now in the Apple TV app on Mac

QuickTime Player User Guide


If the same issue doesn't happen with Apple apps, contact the app developer for the apps in which it does happen:

Kind regards.
