Inconsistent Brightness Among Clips?

@audiofile Have you checked in the timeline view that you haven't pulled the last clips transparency down? Scene mode doesn't show us much. I would prefer to see an expanded Timeline view. These are consecutive files split by your camera when continuously recording, Yes? You were right, the clips transparency was pulled down and it wasn't obvious in the timeline editor. What a noob mistake. This was driving me crazy! Thanks to you and everyone for the suggestions!
