The clue is- Censor in action with note to effect end of vivid material? (7)
It appears to be NECROSE - an anagram of censor + e (note).
Can anyone explain the wordplay? I am confused by the ? at the end.

You've clearly got the subsidiary part of the clue correct (anagram + e).
Since vivid means lively, full of life, then 'the end of vivid' could be interpreted as death, and since
necrosis is the death of animal or plant tissue then necrose would be one word to describe 'the end of vivid material'. The question mark indicates that this is an indirect definition.
