iMovie video only shows in red

Strange thing > I've just opened the new image and put in a screen captured clip using QuickTime Player. When its in iMovie, the video footage has a red tint that is there for the duration of the video. Exporting the video retains the tint!


Spoke to AppleCare but the guy didnt seem to have a clue and didnt want to spend time looking into it :S He thinks theres a setting thats been activated by iMovie and needs to be undone. Anyone else have this issue or know how to resolve?

Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Things had been running along fine the last few days... but now I am seeing the "red video" bug on my retina MacBook Pro!


I was trying to do a screen recording using the following steps:


- I temporarially set the screen resolution to Scaled > Larger Text

- Using QuickTime Player I recorded a new Screen Recording

- Saved the file to the Desktop

- I set the screen resolution back to "Best For Display"


(The resulting video played fine from the Finder, but...)


- Opened iMovie and imported the movie and it looked like it had a red filter over it!


The original video still looks fine (viewing directly from the finder). And is also fine in iMovie 9.
