Graphic overlays causing color issues on export

With the newest update, I've been having problems with graphic overlays. This is for text layers and pre-rendered AE graphics with alpha. They appear fine when previewing in the timeline in Premiere, but once exported (as .mp4), there is a noticeable color and contrast change on the entire image once the overlay appears on screen. I also tried rendering in .mov with the same result.

Not a common thing, to be mild ... but would sure be infuriating. Trying to think of something to try that may have some effect.

 

First, if you're running a dedicated GPU card, go to the Project settings dialog and set that for software only, cutting out the card. Try an export and see if there's a change. If so, it's something with the GPU, maybe a driver issue.

 

Next, go to the Preferences settings, General tab, and see what you are doing for Display Color Management and for Extended dynamic range monitoring. Test changing them.

Thank you for the help! I will have to try adjusting a few settings to see if anything works. It's hard to say because Adobe and NVIDIA both updated within the last couple of weeks. I use Premiere for new YouTube videos every Friday and I've had this problem for the last two uploads. I had to leave out the text graphics just to get the videos published. They weren't absolutely necessary, but still, I use them often to clarify certain topics.

Mind you that if you are on Windows the "latest" Nvidia drivers are old compared to if you go directly to Nvidias site. Worth trying: Download Drivers - Nvidia

What color management settings are you using on those in Ae?

I'll have to look at that again, but I have the same result with just a simple text graphic layer in Premiere. It's the same whether exporting from Premiere or sending it to Media Encoder.

Huh.

 

So you create a graphic using the graphics workspace in Premiere, export, and it's different but only when the graphic is on-screen?

 

I will ask ... have you re-imported the exported clip into Premiere and checked them?
