Clip function has different results when saving to folder outside the gdb

Question

I am running a script to clip a bunch of rasters to an extent (first pic), noticed it gave me wacky results (second pic). So then I ran the clip tool from the desktop app, and it worked as I intended it to (third pic), then used the copy python command and the only thing I changed was the output folder, and that went from giving me the intended result (3rd) to the same weird result I have been getting (2nd). Does anyone know why this would happen and if so how to fix it? I am running it on 270 rasters so I am not going to do them each manually, but I think it's really frustrating that it is being so inconsistent for no apparent reason.

What was the "copy python command" snippet?  Perhaps the snippet doesn't use specific environments that the tool does.  I assume that you were using

Clip Raster (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

in the first place

Yes, I did specify .tif that was what I changed in the output file name along with a folder outside the project gdb.

did you specify a *,tif for the filename? If not you are getting an esri grid.  Try *.tif for the output raster type and see if it persists
