Contrast Difference Between Encoder Render and AE Render
I have rendered out the same AE file through the AE Renderer and the encoder using ProRes HQ on both. I have tried to match the settings the same… although both interfaces have slightly different options.
The Encoder render is much much darker and has more contrast. Subtle details are completely lost. The AE Render is much better and exactly as I see it in the program composition scene. I have attached a jpg.
My AE file is a 16 Bit. Any thoughts on why these should be so different?
I am on a Mac 12 Core – OS 10.8.5
ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
Running the latest versions of CC
Thanks in Advance.

What program are you using to compare the files? Have you tried importing to Premiere Pro and viewing with the YC scope?
Is GPU acceleration enabled?
Did you define a color space in AE?
Are you using a Dynamic Link from AME to the AE comp, or rendering from an intermediate file?
Please post screen shots of the export settings and, if possible, a comparison of the luminance distribution (YC scope) using Premiere Pro.

This is apparently an issue with Color Workspace Profiles. When I turn off Linear Light in AE Project Settings my images look like the output from Encoder. So there must be a way to embed the color space so that when it goes to Encoder it outputs properly.
Any thoughts?
