when i export -> send to media encoder instead of exporting from premiere it strips the BAKED color on 1 out of 3 cameras and makes it log flat. full context: i brought in clips from a hard drive and when i brought them into premiere i can see the full color. i didnt add color or anything. and when i hit export from premiere it maintains the color. i had a long rip that i didnt want to export through premiere because it would lock up the program from doing anything else so i sent the timeline to media encoder and i could see in the preview window as it was exporting through media encoder that it had stripped one camera of color and made it log flat. which is wild because i didnt add any color to it. the fact that media encoder is exporting something that isnt representative of what my timeline is tells me thats a huge bug. mac os tahoe 26.1 (apple m2 ultra). premiere version: 25.6.1 (build 2). (please send me a private message if you want to see a screenshot. i dont want to post it publically)
file name A008C001_120101_C52R.mov (codec in premiere says apple pro res 422). When i go to modify -> color, it says Input lut: Amira Lut
the exported rip is 15 minutes long. 4k footage put on a 59.94 fps 1080 timeline.
