Colors are off after importing exported footage from DaVinci resolve

I use mac, so I edit in rec.709-A instead of regualr rec.709. That way, the footage looks the same in DaVinci as it does after export, and when uploading to the internet.

The problem comes when importing footage that I have exported form DaVinci into AE. The colors are more saturated and contrasty. Its dificult to match manualy through grading, and it makes me think that it has to be a way.

I have yet encontered anyone with the same problem, or a solution.

Soluton or suggestions on how to fix this is appreciated!

I've been having the same issue and have been looking for the solution for a while!!

Apologies I can't provide a solution, but if you ever found a workaround to this, let me know!

After being in touch with both Adobe and Black Magic it seems that no solution is in sight. However, I have found a workaround that works for me. I simply start my process in Adobe AE, as an exported clip from AE to DaVinci wouldn't change the colors. The issue happens when you work the other way around: starting in Davinci, then export your clip, and import it into AE.

Wow that's frustrating to hear- Yea that was originally my workaround, but I couldn't quite figure out how to go about that process when text animations are involved?

Was wondering if you had similar issues and potentially found a workaround?

If I bring my ungraded clip, animated with text in AE, when I get in Resolve, my grade would now be on top of the text + my footage which isn't what I'm after 😕😕
