Color desaturation and loss of contrast when exporting from CS6
Hey Forum!
Question of about exporting from Premiere CS6.
When I export a video, and open it in Quicktime, the image has lost contrast and color saturation.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
I’ve heard about x264 but haven’t tried it. Has anyone had success? A simple workflow they can walk me through?
I also heard that you could send your sequence to After Effects, change the color space to 709. Has anyone had success
with this workflow?
The only time the video looks nice is playing it in FLV. But in the real world, who actually uses VLC?The strange part is if I look at the raw video it looks great. Bring that clip into Adobe and export it (no color correcting, or anything done to it) and it comes out desaturated with less contrast. I would think if you did absolutely nothing, it should come out the same right?
Last note, I am not using an external monitor. (Because I know many in the forum willl suggest this) I would like to just get the video out looking the same as it does in the editing system to play back on my desktop. I’m not interested in worrying about other TVs, computers, etc.
Any help would be hugely appreciated:)!!!!

It’s not Adobe…it’s a well known (and seemingly eternal) problem with QuickTime.
On the Windows side we’re lucky we can use a standard mp4 wrapper and keep QuickTime out of the equation…I’m not certain what Mac users do with the QT H264 gamma issue…
