I tried the simple repro with 3.0 final release, and can't repro anymore.
Looks great so far!!

Had this problem with official 3.0 release in the context of a real project with lots of media of different formats in different layers.

Switched a clip from FFMPEG to AVF, but it got stuck in the "loading" state forever, so I switched it back to FFMPEG. Rendered as solid color (based on pixel content) *and* some of the other layers with different clips that I hadn't touched also got corrupted and started rendering as solid colors (each in a color based on that clip's pixel content)

Over in the support forum there is a post about "clip never shows up unless I switch from one decoder to the other and back again" which I strongly suspect is a related issue.

Layer 6 was playing with poor performance, so I switched from FFMPEG to AVF. Layers 3,4,5 which were FFMPEG decoder started rendering as solid colors. I restarted M8 and the issue still persisted! (note that there were VTDecoderXPCService processes hanging around across restart). I switched layer 6 to FFMPEG, and now 3,4,5,6 all render as solid colors. I restart M8 again and after restart they render correctly.

Decoder-related issues have been cropping up since many months ago and I really worry whether I can rely on 3.0
