This is a frustrating issue. I have had a similar issue rendering prores out of AE. This one is solvable by making sure that you dig into the prores output module and turn gamma correction to none. I would like to think that there is a similar setting within the H264 codec settings within compressor to do the same thing but I cannot find. Anyone got any other ideas?
cheers,
