Exporting Quality Colors faded and video is grainy

First, on Macs, there is a problem that the OS is designed to use a non-standard gamma to Rec.709 video files. As the chosen gamma shows the image lighter, and with an also poor quality color transform to the monitor P3 space, you will get a lighter, less saturated image outside of Premiere in QuickTime Player, Chrome and Safari.

If you set Premiere's Viewing Gamma setting to 1.96/QuickTime, the image will be very close within Premiere and QuickTime Player.

However, on ALL non-Mac systems, and on Macs with Reference modes set to HDTV, the image will be too dark and over-saturated. Say thanks to Apple ...

Make ssure you have:

• Auto detect log
• Auto tonemapping
• Display Color Management

All on, set your sequence color space to what you want, then export with export presets that match your sequence CM.

Rec.709 presets do not include a color space in the name, HDR presets include which color space they use in the preset name.

Many users are having issues with VFR. If the file is variable frame rate, use Handbrake to convert to constant frame rate before importing into Premiere Pro:

Shutter Encoder may also be used to convert to Constant Frame Rate:
