Question

Cannot open Video Encoder Settings

Hello,

I'm having a devil of a time. Hoping the community can help me out. 

I am trying adjust Export settings. I cannot get to the Video Encoder settings in the export window (see screenshot). 

This is actually part of a larger issue I am having. I'm trying to figure out how to fix another issue.

My export video looks very different than the preview video. It is overexposed and oversaturated in the export. The tutorial I am trying to follow notes that if my video footage was shot in H.264 / HVEC, it should be exported in this format. I am only seeing one or the other, not both formats. (see the screenshot). I think I am going to need a lot of help trying to figure this larger issue out as well.

Thanks in advance.

The "overexposed/oversaturated" issue probably has to do with dealing with HLG footage from a phone or camera, or some log-encoded footage that Premiere is mis-applying default handling to.

 

There are A TON of threads on over-exposed or blown out footage ... do a quick scan through the forum and you'll get the answer.

Thank you very much Neil. If anyone comes across this discussion, this is what I did. I found that I needed to download a QT Gamma Compensation. When exporting iPhone 12 footage I made sure SDR Conform box is checked; it is not by default and the videos come out blown out if you don't adjust.

Update:

I see now that if I mouse scroll in that area, I can get to all of the options. I still have the larger issue of the color export.
