Different colours & contrast between the source & programme window

Hey everyone! 
Got a bit of a weird one for you, i'll try to make it as simple as possible, 

 

The left image is the Source window, and is in the following...
Color Space: Sony S-Log3/S-Gamut3.Cine Color Space Override: Rec. 709

On the right is the Program window, the sequence sharing the same working colour space, but as you can see, the footage looks vastly different. 

 

  • I have no effects applied to the (right) clip. I checked both effects controls & lumetri color panel
  • I've updated to 2023 & also tried again on 2022
  • I've tried toggling the FX button, and no change to the footage
  • I've reinstalled premier pro from the ground up 
  • I've cleared the cache 
  • I asked a colleague to open the same project on their rig, the same issue persisting which makes me     believe this is not a screen or display issue. 
  • I've doubled checked the footage in finder & revealed it in project & finder and both are flat profles like on the left

 

My only working theory is to do with this dialogue box that pops up when i open Premier Pro (both 2022 & 2023) both these named effects are missing from my 'effects' window, 



I believe the issue may fall here, i think for some reason Premier may have applied these effects to the timeline / footage, and can now not read them which means i therefore cannot remove them / see them? It's worth noting that these effects are also no visible in the effects tab (it's a working theory and makes no sense but i'm desperate) or ultiamtely this could just be a bug?


I'm on an Apple M1 macbook, Monterey for reference


Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! 

 

Thanks

What you are seeing is correct behavior. As the Source and Program monitors are not intended to show the same image. Source is 'original' image as seen by Pr, Program is after CM and any other effects applied.

 

And no, Premiere is not applying those effects. Period.
