Searching: icon

What does it mean when an icon with an explanation mark inside a yellow triangle shows up in the canvas and everything that was filed that is white has green and red lines going through it? No I'm not kidding about this. Weirdest thing I've seen in a while. It doesn't show when we watch the project when we stop or pause.

It means you have the excess luma turned on. Usually this happens when someone has hit the shortcut: control z. In technical terms, if you are broadcasting on air you (the FCC) say no video can be broadcast that has a level over 100 IRC. The yellow triangle tells you that the luma is over that limit and you would need to add the broadcast safe video filter.

You've got something checked to show you something like excess luma. Look in the drop-down box to the left of the time code box in the upper right of the canvas. See what's checked there and try un-checking.
