Incorrect colors

Hi everyone, when exporting from AE> AME the colors in the file are different from those I see in the AE preview. I use Lumetri Color (varying some values) and a LUT. I also placed the LUT file in the Lumetri folder inside the Media Encoder app file, in fact in the AME preview I see the correct colors. Why does the final file have desaturated colors?

If the colors are not matching you either have color management turned on for some of the workflows instead of all of the workflow, or you have the project set to 32-bit color and you are rendering to 8-bit. Without workflow details and screenshots showing your workflow in detail, nobody can tell you exactly what the problem is. It could even be your media player. The only way to accurately check the color rendering would be to import the rendered footage back into After Effects and compare the comp and the render there.

Hi Rick, my project is 16bit depth.

The settings are 16bit and I attach some example and the screenshot of the settings.
