Imported video files with wrong color profile

Question

Hello everyone,I have my project settings set to "sRGB IEC6..."Whenever I import a quciktime mov or mp4 video file it will assign a "rec.709 gamma 2.4" profile ion the color management. I have to manually go into the import settings of each file and re-assign the sRGB profile.how can i tell after effects that all imported video files will have the srgb profile by default? My research showed me that AE should automatically assign the working space color of the project (which is sRGB) but it doesnt... Does anyone have an idea where to make imported color space for footage back to sRGB by default? THANKS

Resetting AE preferences settings should fix the issue.give it a try and let us know if that helps.

The behaviour you desire is not how it's supposed to be managed. Video files are never encoded with sRGB. When setting your project to sRGB it means that all files containing embedded video or stills profiles wil be converted to the chosen working color space as the first step in the image processing. So all your .movs and mp4s are being handled as expected.
