Fixing Export Difference in Premiere Pro
We are getting what I consider dramatic differences in exports in Premiere Pro between the Program Monitor and the output. The outputs yes are compressed (H.264) but the significant drop in saturation is of concern. We can’t relay on our program monitor anymore if the exports are so different. I have my own theories but I’d like to hear from the community first.
Mac Pro 2019
580X GPU
Footage is BlackMagic MOV exported to MP4 (H.264)
Hardware Encoding has been toggled on and off (two bottom images one on, one off)
Exported via Premiere (not media encoder) -

Yes, it’s a common issue that Adobe qualifies as being due to the fact that Premiere is set for broadcast gamma standards. Basically, higher contrast Gamma 2.4. I believe most web browsers, and perhaps even FCPX and QuickTime, playback video at Gamma 1.96, which is less contrasty.
I was referred to this free LUT you can download. After you do all your color grading in Premiere, apply this LUT as your last step. You will see this will alter your image, but after you export, you should get a result close to what you had before applying this LUT.

Hello, Casey Berner.
I agree with Andy. All the monitors will share differences among them. Did you try rendering your sequence before exporting it? Are you applying the color correcting effects inside of the video clips or to an adjustment layer? Sometimes Premiere can be tricky. If you applied your color correcting effects on an adjustment layer, I would try gettig rid of that layer. If you don’t have that layer established, follow the instructions backwards and create the layer. If none of those suggestions help you, try exporting it in a different way. There’s a plugin called AfterCodecs. It could help you if there’s a problem occurring with your project or export engine. You should be fine exporting through AfterCodecs. Take a look at http://www.autokroma.com/AfterCodecs – I hope it works out for you.
To any moderator coming to my post: I’m not making any advertisement regarding products or whatsoever. I’m just trying to help a colleague by suggesting her some alternatives that may help her achieving the best results regarding her final colors. It’s important to share knowledge in this situations, since there are lots of tricky situations that might be happening.
Best wishes,
Daniel Carranza
