QuickTime player and most web browsers are using a different gamma interpretation from what is specified by the ITU for Rec709, so you cannot trust the colors that you see there.  I recommend using VLC player for viewing files outside of PPro.

"Variants of this question have been covered to death on this and every other color grading forum. The answer is always the same.  The only way to get a [proper] image you can trust is to run SDI [or HDMI] out to an accurately calibrated reference monitor.  Grading by viewing the image in the GUI just doesn't work."  - Jamie LeJeune

The above was posted in the Blackmagic forums about DaVinci Resolve, but it applies to all NLE's.

You must have one of two viewing environments set up.

1. A dedicated I/O card (AJA Kona, Blackmagic Intensity, etc.) to a calibrated monitor.

2. An export from Premiere Pro played from hardware to a calibrated monitor.

How it looks on the calibrated monitor is all that matters.

Quicktime is known for having a gamma issue.

Do you have your screen correctly color calibrated ?

it's not a screen calibration, I look the file from the same monitor (imac pro 5k) If I put the file in DaVinci resolve, look flat and good like if I open the file with quicktime.
