Hue shift /Magenta shift when importing MOV in After Effects

Question

I just found out when importing an MOV/Prores or MOV/h264 Files into After Effects 22.2.0 it gets a slight hue shift. I compared it with an exported EXR, also mp4/h264 files which I exported out of Davinci Resolve with the same Settings. In After Effects I do no color interpretation and also Preserve RGB values.

I also compared the files in Nuke. There is no difference noticable. So it's definitly a problem how After effects loads MOV Files.

Does anyone has the same problem?

Would be really helpful if someone is experience the same problem.

Thanks for your quick response. Sure I can provide more informations.

In the comparison screenshot between MOV/4444 and EXR you can see a slight green shift in the MOV/4444 File format. This slight green shift happens with every MOV file also MOV/h264 I export out of Davinci or Nuke.

when I import these two Files in the comparison screenshot into Davinci or Nuke the look exactly the same. So this has to be a problem with the after Effects interpretation. For this I added a picture of the Project Color Manegement Settings in after effects. The footages are set to Preserve RGB.

I am working on a Macbook 14" M1 Max with 64GB RAM. I use as I said AE 22.2.0

Hope these Informations can help.

Thanks for your time
