Videos being washed out when imported

I am seeing several posts on this with no solution. Videos imported into Rush are automatically over-exposed and washed out. There is no way to restore the original video when editing. I work on a Mac and it may just be a Mac issue, but this is a problem that causes myself and others to not use this app at all.

 

ADOBE SUPPORT - PLEASE address this issue or give a status update! I am seeing posts from 2019 about this being an issue with no fix. This is a huge problem.

 

**A few said that putting a graphic overlay across the whole video and moving it out of frame fixed it. Did not work for me.

    Hi annelise, are you using HDR footage by chance? If you're on an iPhone, you can go to the Settings app, go to Camera, and disable HDR recording from there. That should prevent future videos from importing strangely into Rush. Let us know if this doesn't work!

    I also have this problem. Spontaniously (no changes by me on my phone or in Adobe products) my videos on my phone (which previously imported looking as expected) started importing with blown out colors and exposure. There seems to be no solution and it only happens in Premiere Rush. Videos look fine in VLC or Premiere Pro. It happens with all footage, not just HDR footage.
    This is a problem with Premiere Rush, not our footage.

    I started experiencing washed-out imported video footage about three months ago. I have tried all formats, and they all appear overexposed upon import. Why can't Adobe seen to fix this?

    HDR is not supported, @Myndi Baker. If you have iOS, you might try Project Violet, which supports HDR.

     

    Thanks,
