I am trying to export a project to an h.264 file and everytime I export the color comes out drastically different. I have exported this way for years and never had any issues. See below for color examples and export settings.

    If you export directly from Premiere, does it do the same thing? Brighter after export?

     

    And especially, if that file is re-imported into Premiere, is it brighter?

    Yes if I export directly from premiere it is also still brighter after export.

     

    Yes, If I re-import the brighter file into premiere-it is still brighter.

    The puzzling bit is looking different on re-import. What's the color space of the original clips?

    Other than the first pair of clips, where the one is radically brighter than the others, I can't tell from your screengrabs what you expect me to see.

    I'm showing you that Im making the changes you suggested and when I export it-the colors are still way brighter and not the same as my grade in the timeline. Screenshot (14) is how it looks when exported. Thanks

    The clip is undoubtedly an HLG clip, maybe from an iPhone. And you worked with it on an SDR/Rec.709 timeline, and exported with a standard SDR/Rec.709 preset. That will still treat an HDR clip as if it is 'meant' to be HDR.

     

    So ... right-click on the clip in the Project panel/bin. Modify/Intepret Footage, select Override and set to Rec.709.

     

    Now export and you should be ok.
