4K video exports desaturated

Question

Original video is from iphone 12 4k quality looks great in both VLC and Quicktime. I edit and then export in PE 2021 with the BEST 4K setting possible and it comes out looking desaturated in both video viewers. Looks worse in QT but still not same quality in VLC as it was originally. This is very frustrating as it looks like i"m using a filter and I don't want that. Any suggestions what could be going on? Would upgrading to PE 2022 fix this? See screen shot of video clip bleached out is after rendering at 4K (same settings as import) of the 2nd photo which is screen shot of the original. Thanks for any help!!

I'm confused. Which is the output? Left or right? In either case, what you have is not normal. To work through this a lot is needed.

What is the makeup of the iPhone video? Post the "tree view" from the (free) program called MediaInfo.

What are the project settings and how did you set them?

What are you doing in the project?

What exactly are the output settings? Maybe a screen shot?

No, upgrading to another version is not the fix.
