I'm having a problem exporting footage from Adobe Premiere Pro... every export turns ordinary footage from my iPhone into a filtered awful mess. Attached a before and after picture... is this a setting problem? This has now happened three times and is making me second-guess my subscription.

Basic Color Management 101, really ... your iPhone clips are shot as HLG, an HDR format. You're using them on a Rec.709 SDR timeline.

 

Select the clips in the bins, right-click, Modify/Interpret Footage, select the Override option at the bottom in the Color Management section, set it to Rec.709.

 

And maybe tell your iPhone to shoot SDR/Rec.709 for now. Very few screens/browsers & etc are really working well with HDR yet.

In Premiere 2024 all the CM stuff can be found in the Lumetri panel Edit tab. It's handier by far.

 

And set Project setting for auto log detection on, Sequence auto-tonemapping on, and that probably takes care of your iPhone clips without further steps.
