Some users point to it being an issue with a corrupted media cache database. Based on one of your previous threads I also answered, I think you may need to go in and delete it manually to clear up the issue.

What format is your footage and where/how is it stored?
In Preferences > Media you will notice a few settings. One is a section marked “Media Cache Files” with a directory and a box labeled “Save media cache files near originals where possible”. Unchecking this box does not stop the saving of cache files, it simply saves them to the directory specified underneath; a central location for all projects. What’s nice about this option is you can choose whatever works best for you in case you regularly move projects to other edit bays or pull projects from archive.
The media cache database section specifies a central location for the database that keeps track of where these cache files are and what they’re associated with.
I would probably go to each of these locations and delete them manually while Premiere isn’t running. I’d restart Premiere, start a new project and import a few pieces of footage. I’d close Premiere and then reopen to see if the cache files hold steady. It may be a corrupted database. If you’re running Mac then Id use disk utility to make sure you’re good on disk permissions and other disk issues that can wreak havoc on a normal system.

Right click clip in timeline and select “Scale to frame size”. This will scale the longest edge to your format size. This may cause some letterboxing depending on the aspect ratio.
Alternatively go to the Effects Panel > Motion and you can scale accordingly if you need to crop to avoid letterboxing.

I just realize I meant to post this as an answer for a different thread. Please ignore me, haha.

It does sound like a GPU issue. First step is to make sure your drivers are up to date. If they are up to date then try rolling them back a version or two and see if you’re still having the issue.
I don’t think the GeForce GTX 660 is an official CUDA card, so if you’ve altered the CUDA list to allow it to work, then try disabling it as well. It may just be a performance issue related to that.

I feel like this comes up every so often. Premiere is completely dependent on the codec Quicktime provides when you render out an MOV… so if your system doesn’t have it then you don’t either.
Do you only have Quicktime X? My first guess would be to install Quicktime 7. If you have Quicktime 7 then do an uninstall and reinstall.

Check this out for Speedgrade https://www.fallenempiredigital.com/blog/2012/07/21/creating-dailies-with-adobe-speedgrade-cs6/
Speedgrade has a really vague feature that allows you to rename your output file based on clip name which, in turn, forces Speedgrade to split your output (down near the end of the article). A little experimentation may allow you to split your single original file because Speedgrade is forced to rename the parts.

Re-import the exported “affected” h.264 file. Does it look like the original in your monitor panel? Or is the shift permanent?
If so… it’s interesting to assume that Premiere is using Quicktime to display its export window and what you’re seeing is related to how Quicktime renders video. Quicktime, overall, is one of the worst programs for video playback for consistency, but this doesn’t seem related to the Quicktime gamma bug since you aren’t rendering an MOV.
If it’s not “burning in” the problem to the file (looks fine in Premiere, looks fine uploaded to a flash based player like Youtube) then compensating for it does more harm than good in the long run.
Can a Mac Premiere user chime in?

If I recall correctly, there is some kind of caveat to this. I don’t know if CS6 fixes this since I don’t use 3d models very heavily.
If it’s a 3d file like obj, you have to light it in Photoshop. After Effects lighting will not affect the linked object. That’s why you’re seeing it as black; at least that is my guess.

(Apparently CS6 removes this functionality entirely according to comments)

Not sure what is causing your issue but to add some evidence to your case I took a clip, boosted saturation and set the output similar to yours (h.264, vimeo preset) and there was no shift in color, even if the colors were illegal for broadcast.
Can you tell us a little more about the originating file? What camera? What codec is it in (ProRes, for example), and any effects that may be placed on that clip.
