I am not a Pinnacle expert, but I do know a lot about video editing and encoding, and this is a new one for me. First comment is that I don't know why you would be re-importing an exported AVI back into your editing app for further editing or effects, as that is always going to lead to some type of generational loss. It may be unnoticeable the first time around, but not on subsequent passes. So if you ask me that is a bad practice. Whatever is causing that green tint is surely only going to get worse each time around. Secondly I would suggest you go to a video editing forum for a specific problem like this since it is likely to be something unique to Pinnacle that someone else has already addressed and fixed and they can help you. I suggest DVInfo.net, Creative Cow's forums and any forums on Pinnacle's website if they have one. That's your best bet to find a solution. Lastly, from everything I hear Pinnacle is a dog of a program, and instead of knocking your head against the wall, you are probably better off purchasing Adobe Premiere Pro or Vegas Video and using those better apps. I consider myself very knowledgeable with Premiere Pro and it is pricey but well worth the money. (You can save some money purchasing an educational version by the way if you can produce or create a college i.d.) BHPhotoVideo.com also supposedly also has a great deal on Vegas Video right now as well, fyi.
