You can’t rely on the interface INSIDE the editing apps to be accurate. Most are not. If you want consistency, to know what it REALLY looks like, you need an IO device (Blackmagic design specifically, as they are the ONLY ones that work with Resolve) and an external HDTV or broadcast monitor. The viewer in Resolve isn’t accurate at all, and I doubt that the ones n Premiere are either.
But I’d trust the player more than the editing apps. Then again, if you view with Quicktime or VLC, it might look different in both. And is YOUR monitor calibrated? If you post on YouTube and Vimeo…it might look different in both…watch it with Safari or FireFox or CHrome, and again, they might look different. MANY factors are at play here.
Heck, when I do broadcast work, what I see on my external monitor might not be what I see on my TV with Spectrum…they compress again. And what I see on my TV with Spectrum is different than what my producer will see on HIS TV with Cox communications. I once had a producer call complaining about the squeezing of the image he was seeing (black bars on top and bottom of the screen). He took a pic and showed me…”this is NOT what I saw in your edit room on your TV!” I took a picture of my TV, with no squeezing. “It’s your providor…not the video file. Mine looks fine.”
