Export problem...

Question

Dear Adobe...I have a problem when exporting...PP 25.6.3Win10 22H2 for workstationNvidia 591.44the exported video is somehow washed out and paler compared to the original, there is no color correction, only a few simple transitions... the video was recorded with a Panasonic CX 350 in HEVC LongGOP format... I would like the exported video to be like picture 1, but it is not... picture 1 is taken from Pp and picture 2 from the exported video (and the original raw video is as in picture one)... what am I doing wrong... here are the other pictures from the settings... thank you...I export the sequence to QuickTime (prores 422 HQ) compare the curtains from pictures 1 and 2...that's where you can see the difference the best...and I would like my exported video to be like in picture 1, the raw video looks like that...picture 1 is taken from Pp from the timeline and the same raw video when I look at it from the player looks like that...it means that everything is fine as far as Pp and the video are concerned, but that's why the export is a bit paler and I wouldn't want it to look like that, the difference is best seen on the curtains...... please...double click on the image and watch full screen...thanks Screenshot 2025-12-08 233325.png Screenshot 2025-12-08 235353.png VideoID : 1Format : HEVCFormat/Info : High Efficiency Video CodingFormat profile : Main 10@L5.2@HighCodec ID : hvc1Codec ID/Info : High Efficiency Video CodingDuration : 5 min 15 sBit rate : 192 Mb/sWidth : 3 840 pixelsHeight : 2 160 pixelsDisplay aspect ratio : 16:9Frame rate mode : ConstantFrame rate : 50.000 FPSColor space : YUVChroma subsampling : 4:2:0Bit depth : 10 bitsBits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.463Stream size : 7.05 GiB (98%)Language : EnglishEncoded date : 2025-11-04 15:47:13 UTCTagged date : 2025-11-04 15:47:13 UTCColor range : LimitedColor primaries : BT.709Transfer characteristics : BT.709Matrix coefficients : BT.709Codec configuration box : hvcC Screenshot 2025-12-09 002158.png Screenshot 2025-12-09 001926.png Screenshot 2025-12-09 002001.png Screenshot 2025-12-09 002547.png Screenshot 2025-12-09 002609.png

I tried today these settings that you recommended....I have the same problems as in the pictures....I tried the export and it's the same in Potplayer, a little washed out image than in Pp...I forgot to say that I'm doing multi-cam with 15-16 videos at once, of course in (proxy ProRes QuickTime 1080p)...it doesn't matter, if I don't succeed, the video will go a little washed out and that's it...
Another big thank you for your effort and enthusiasm, I know I'm not the only one in the Adobe community and I admire how you achieve everything and try to help everyone, even the rude ones...

As to the later questions ...

1) With a clip selected on a sequence, you should be able to set both the Source Clip and Sequence settings. I can on my rig. You can also get to the Source clip only settings by clicking on a clip in the bin.

2) Correcting clips in a multicam is different than a 'normal' sequence, as a PrPro multicam is a quasi-mashup of a clip and a sequence. I do not ever color correct multicams on that sequence.

I create a short sequence with each of the clips, cut to just a few frames of something as 'similar' to the other clips as possible. Then I start with the most 'important' clip, doing the corrections for that. Which becomes the Reference clip after going into Reference mode for that sequence.

I then correct the other clips to match that first reference clips. Now I have the Lumetri corrections for each clip ... and I copy each clip's Lumetri effect from the ECP and right-click/paste onto that clip in the bin.

When that's done I simply delete the color correction sequence.

And the ONLY place I do color management is on the Lumetri panel Settings tab, as everything is there, and I never use the other places you see only bits of the CM settings.

I just did tests of the clip. In Premiere and viewing the exports outside in PotPlayer, as VLC is acting nutso at the moment on my desktop. Which is a 24 core Ryzen, 128GB of RAM, 2080Ti GPU.

I set the following color management up in Premiere ...

And then exported a short section. In both standard ProRes 422, and ProRes 422 HQ, and both in mov (QuickTime) format.

I could view them on my transmit out monitor in Potplayer full-screened, to the same frame on Potplayer and Premiere using the TO setting. So just by tapping the shortcut I was viewing transmit out or Potplayer.

I was getting no difference in the shadow area curtains at all visually. And comparing the frames when re-imported into Premiere, the scopes didn't move whatever. Identical images.

So I couldn't get a difference between the two in and out of Premiere.
