Gamma Shift issues with .mov files and .h64 and mp4

How is this still an issue? I can only render out uncompressed Quicktime movs on a Windows PC without my movie looking washed out. All of the above prefered codecs wash out my images. Having to output a an uncompressed QT is ridiculous. I have had this issue for so long now, and it's still happening. Any advice?

    Where are you seeing these washed out colors? If you import your rendered files back into AE, do they still look washed out? How are you rendering them in the first place?

    I am seeing them in After Effects. Except, my mistake, they are not washed out, they are darker. This occurs with rendering out of AE with motion Jpeg A and B, .h64 and .mp4. The only export template I have discovered that exports without a gamma shift is QT uncompressed. Which as you can imagine at 4k results in huge file sizes.

    Are you rendering directly out of AE's render queue or are you using the Adobe Media Encoder?

    What are your color management settings?
