Desaturated, too bright footage after rendering
Hey everyone!
I’m having some trouble with rendering out my footage(s).
They become desaturated (color loss) and bright for some reason.
I tried different render methods, codecs, formats…almost same result on each of them.
Here is a picture, it can explain better:
The original footage is much darker, and may lack of some detail, but it more colorful.
Also, the color loss/brightening is only visible on the rendered movie (doesn’t matter which codec or video player I use) – usually I use h264.I do short animations as well, in AE. If I trie to render it out in AE, I get the same result.
First time, I noticed this problem, I rendered out a 40 min footage, and something was off. I couldn’t fix this issue, and for some reason, I checked some old footage. They ahd the same problem, but I did not notice it before (see below – picture).

Thanks in advance!

I am going to assume that you are talking about encoding the final file and not rendering the timeline.
Every project will require specific settings based on the original footage and since your source is so dark you will probably have to do some creative tweaking and AME may not give you enough control over the image.
If it were me I would take a small 10 second clip to encode. Sart with your gamma settings and or black restore. What perplexes me is that you are experiencing the same result rendering out of AE. If you render out of AE with and Animation codec are you still seeing the lifted blacks.
It would help if you shared your encoding settings, otherwise no one here will be able to tell what you are or are not doing in your encoding pass
