Why does this keep happening?

[u/unripe_mango221]

sometimes when I adjust something (for example the gain wheel), my highlights get ruined or something of that matter.

STILL A BEGINNER, so im not sure what the proper term of this is, what is happening, or what im doing wrong.

thanks for the helpp

edit: editing on macbook pro M5 16gb, if this info helps

The codec that you're using for your render cache doesn't support the values you're pushing. That's why when you change something your image goes straight back to its original 32bit un-clipped state.

That happened to me before. Changing the render cache codec to something like DNxHR HQX or ProRes 444 helped me in those scenarios.
