Research direction

Reproduce on macOS by loading an MP4 or image, using Command+Shift+N or File → Clear, and loading it again while comparing the colors. Start by tracing the Clear action and the subsequent media-loading or colorspace-handling path; done means repeated loads retain the colorspace and brightness of the initial load.
