Question

ProRes color/contrast differences - 422, 422HQ, 4444 XQ

Adobe Premiere 2026.2.2 (Build 3). I am roundtripping (export > reimport) .mov ProRes exports from my timeline and getting a contrast/gamma shift when reimporting. Image is noticeably darker.

This should NOT be happening.

Funny thing is...this change only occurs in 422 HQ, 4444, and 4444 XQ - not in 422.

I am at a full standstill right now and this is ruining my timeline. Someone - please help.

- Color Management is off.
- Same exporting from Premiere or Media Encoder.

    Thanks! However - disabling color management has not fixed this issue.

    I had a friend replicate it this morning on his workstation.
