Guys, has anyone noticed this color change after updating to 25.2?
For some reason, some assets I import into After Effects have their colors altered, and I don’t know how to fix it.
I know the update included some changes to color management, but I didn’t touch any of my settings and I’m still running into this issue.
I’ll send my color settings below — if anyone knows how to fix it, I’d really appreciate the help.
This only happens in After Effects. When I use the same asset in Premiere Pro, the colors stay exactly how they should. The first one is from After Effects, and the second one is from Premiere Pro.

You can notice that the blacks have been lifted, and some transparent assets have had their colors changed. In some cases, noticeable borders appear where there were none before.

Here it is my color settings

Hi Lardyen,

Sorry for the issue. Please let me know if you use a Windows or a MacOS system. Premiere Pro recently had changes in color management. Please select the PNG graphic in your Premiere Pro timeline and open the Lumetri Color panel. Navigate from "Edit" to "Settings" and expand all categories. Please share a screenshot of that panel. We'll ensure that the color settings match across both applications.

Thanks,

Ishan
