Alright, I’m dreading looking at this post just based on the title because of how much time I’ve spent on this.

A few things:

1. You can upload your video or other files to cleanshot.cloud or Imgur. The issue is most likely that you’re trying to upload a file that’s too large.

2. As a test, please try the following:

• Have only one window open on the desktop, with all others minimized.
• Try looping to grab the color and see if it changes.
• If the color does change, we know it’s a window-related issue.
• If it doesn’t change, there’s likely an error in the way it’s being returned.

3. Another thing you can try—though it’s unlikely to make a difference—is updating to the newest dev build.

Here’s an example of the windows:

Can you try removing Loop's screen capture access from System Settings and then re-granting it? A terminal command to do this quickly is:

tccutil reset ScreenCapture com.MrKai77.Loop

@MrKai77 I've been having the same issue here. for some reason, it uses the gradient setting as the setting for the wallpaper syncing. I tried tccutil reset ScreenCapture com.MrKai77.Loop, and it didn't help.

@MrKai77 i also tried but nothing changed

[MrKai77]

And just to verify, the colors don't change at all? Not even turn black (I believe that should be the default value if the screen capture fails)?

@MrKai77

it uses the gradient setting as the setting for the wallpaper syncing.

@MrKai77 for me they change to black if gradient is enabled only one to black.
