video looks better in AE than it does when I export

I'm still new to AE, so be kind 😉 Any reason why my video looks better in AE than it does when I export? Color seems desaturated. I did the 'match source, high bitrate' setting in Media Encoder... is there a color setting or resolution setting that I'm somehow missing?

When rendering, I had to click 'lossless' and then click the format options and change the Video Codec to something else (e.g. Apple ProRes 422 HQ) and QuickTime played it fine. Apparently QuickTime just doesn't like when the it is set to Animation but obviously if you need to use that I'm not sure what the fix would be.

Folowup question - if I render using Render Queue rather than Media Encoder, is that 'better'? Also, what do I do with the resulting .MOV file on a Mac - it won't open...
