Color Management is way off - what's the issue?

Question

Hi Everybody,

I tried importing an MP4 with excellent color and upon import the color is terrible, really washed out. (image attached).

I looks fine in the browser window or Quicktime, but in After Effects it looks awful. I had the same problem in Premiere and updating the display color fixed the problem, but I can't find the resolve for AE (or Photoshop).

Can somebody please tell me why this is happening or what the fix might be?

Can you post a screenshot with the mp4 file selected in the Project panel?   Be sure to include the Poster Preview at the top that includes a thumbnail of the source footage with its name and settings (frame size, pixel aspect ratio, duration, audio settings and color space).
