After Effects + Media Encoder, MP4 Colour bug
Hi Guys,
There is a Colouration Bug we have noticed when it comes to composition sizes. This has been been an issue for every MP4 / MOV we export. Most Noticeably MP4 Conversions rendered from After effects & rendered from Media Encoder.
The Colour bug we noticed is anything exported at a Pixel height of 500px exports a different colour. However when we enlarge this aspect ration by 2x/3x it exports the right colour.
PLEASE NOTE , Both exports are the same colour profiles, same colour management, same everything.
We tried sRGB Setting, ROC 709 Setting, Exporting through AE, Exporting through ME,
Exporting as a MOV through ME (fixed the colour but stretched the banner to fit 1920x1080)
We exported put 600x500 & 1600x1000 on a 1920x1080 composition and exported which fixed the colour however when we take it into photoshop to crop the video to its original size (600x500 & 1600x1000) it saves out this off orangish again.
So far the only thing that works so far is if we expand the composition size 18-20% above the 500px height threshold. (same aspect ratio)


Please find the Examples attached.
This was an Issue in After Effects and Media encoder 2022 & is still an issue in AE/ME 2023 Versions.
Laptop is a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) However this was the same for a MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2018) also
