I had setup a timeline, in which I haven't color grade or use of lumetri color on any video.

I rendered the video.

After that I got washed out footages. If you see the screenshot that I have attached, in the source window it is original footage and in the program window it is a washed out footage after render.

Hi EVCAM.

Welcome to the community! As Experts suggested, this could happen due to a mismatch in color space settings between your clip, sequence, and export. Please share a detailed screenshot of the options selected under Window > Lumetri Color> Settings tab and a screenshot of your Export Settings. It will help us guide you with the next steps to solve this issue.

Thanks,

Sumeet

Ann and PeruBob are right, you as the user need to tell the color management system what you want done.

It can do a TON of different things, they can't guess from those what you want. Personally I've been around, working for, and teaching pro colorists for years. I suggest staying in Rec.709 .

Because unfortunately HDR is still the Wild Wild West and totally unpredictable from screen to screen.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
