After Effects different output than composition Preview

I need color science help! On the right, you see the AE preview. On the left is the rendered video. I am working with a linear ".exr" sequence in Agx transform from Blender. Conversion in AE happens with the OpenColorIO plugin. The problem is that the final video rendered from AE has ugly bright shadows, which is different from the AE preview. I want it to look like what I see in AE. Final render happens through Adobe Media Encoder to ".mp4 "

 

Maybe it doesn't even relate to the Agx conversion, because when I input a regular .jpg with normal color transform, and I disable the OCIO conversion effects, the output also has the brighter shadows

Hi @Melvin36470725py96,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

 

  •  Does this same color shift occur if you render the .mp4 directly from the After Effects Render Queue?
  • Does it occur if you use the native OCIO color management rather than the plug-in? You would need After Effects version 23.4 or higher for OCIO color management to be available.

 

Thank you for any additional details you can offer,

- John, After Effects Engineering Team
