Exported clip comes out overexposed and tinted blue

I'm trying to export my edited video that was recorded on a Sony A7III. My edits look perfectly fine the premiere preview window but when I export it get blown out highlights that also have a blue hue to them.

I can't fingure out what's the cause of this.

I've attached an image to show what I mean. The left one is the exported clip and the right one is the premiere preview window. I'm completely lost as to how this is happening.

The only change I've made recently was in using the HLG color profile in the camera as opposed to cine4 but I can't imagine that would be the issue but I figured it's worth a mention.

Well, the HLG is actually the problem. If you're going to use HLG clips, a form of HDR, you have two choices.

First, make sure your timeline color space is HLG, and your OS and monitor are set for HDR, and that any export is using an HLG/HDR preset.

Or, easier, select the clips in the Project panel, right-click Modify/Interpret Footage and set the Override option to Rec.709.

Make sure your timeline panel is Rec.709 and use regular export presets.

Relatively few screens really do HDR yet, though that is changing over time.

So I have completed the edits and moved everything in place already. Is there any way to convert the clips in my timeline to Rec.709 or just export my project without having to replace all the clips??

Also should I no be using HLG at all then if I don't have an HDR monitor? The only reason I am using HLG is because I was watching a video by Gerald Undone comparing the color profiles available for the sony cameras. I am still very new to video editing and color grading in general.

Would you reccomend that I still use HLG but just convert it to Rec.709 everytime before I start my project?
