Color Correction & Lumetri Scopes Look Different on Different Computers

When I move my Premiere Pro 15.4.1 project from my Macbook Pro to my Mac Pro, the MP4 clips from my Sony A7SII are being read differently, which in turn throws off my color corrections. For all intents and purposes, everything on the two machines is the same (Premiere settings & version, GPU settings, etc.) As you can see from the attached images, this is not an issue with my monitor. The differences are also seen in the exported file. Any ideas on what may be happening are appreciated.

I don't anticipate having any luck replying to this post from 2021, but I'm having an extremely similar issue with MP4s from an A7 appearing differently within the same Premiere project on 2 different machines. Did you ever solve this? I am having difficulity finding others who have encountered the same problem. Like you, my clips are giving different readings on the scopes between the 2 computers.

Unless the extensive color management options are identical, this could easily happen now. So give all those details and then we could see if Premiere's screwing up or it just needs the CM set correctly.

Yep, I've triple checked that avenue and made sure all CM match across both machines (Display Color Management, Auto-Detect Log Color Space, Auto-Tone Map media, etc etc etc) – settings match on both instances of Premiere on each computer. So strange that it seems to be limited to MP4 files from a Sony A7. Footage from other cameras in the project is consistent on both computers.

What is the age and OS of the two computers, in curiosity?

try to focus on the final delivery. might be vimeo or youtube or whatever.

look at the final delivery product and make judgement on that critera

(0-255, etc,)

no two computers (platforms) deliver the same product.

Of course. The problem is that in the final output from the Mac Pro, the color is quite different with large changes in contrast and color shifts as well. From the Macbook Pro, where the color correction was done, the color is perfect. Thanks!
