Color issues with the new M1 MacBook Pro

I can not for the life of me figure out why my rendered videos look so much different then what I am color grading in adobe. I have never had this issue and unless I missed it, I haven't seen many people talking about this which is making me think maybe it has something to do with running on the translated version via M1?

 

The exported version is a regular .265 export, same settings I have used for years... Is there something major I am just missing or oblivous to? I appreciate the advice in advance, thanks.

    AFAIK Apple hasn't fixed their end of it, yeah, I'd be pretty sick of the way Apple has ignored this is (too) 🙂

    I really don't get why Adobe is not able to answer that Question. They always point out on the community.

     

    So: I fixed it after 2 hours of looking for the problem because of a deadline, and i really feel dead on support for 60 bucks a month.

     

    Right click the file in your project.

    Navigate to interpret footage.

    On the bottom go to colorspace and set Rec709 or whatever colorspace it was shot in.

    Fixed.

     

    Why Adobe? Pointless. thanks for the extra hours without my family.

    It sounds like your problem had to do with HLG clips on a Rec.709 timeline?

     

    That issue is from the massive rebuilding of Premiere's color systems this series.

     

    There's also tge problem with SDR/Rec.709 files outside of Premiere on a Mac dur to Apple choosing to use non-standard settings for Rec.709 media.

     

    The first issue is something on Adobe, the second one is on Apple.

     

    Both are frustrating of course.

    There is a beta version of Premiere Pro for the M1 Mac available. I would try that if i had a M1 Mac. It is available via the Creative Cloud app.

    Cool, glad you can see that. Actually it's PP that is displaying them correctly. Quicktime or some other players display them typically with modified gamma and other undesireable qualities. Same with YouTube. You can only make yours as good and close to color standards and then whoever views them, in hundreds of different ways and various hardware/software, etc will see it as they can also.

    Weird becuase I never experienced this before, videos always pretty much looked the same in adobe primere as youtube/playing from desktop. How do I fix/make up for this new found issue because it looks awesome in adobe and I look like a purple dead ghost in the render lol.

    I just saw this note when looking for PP hardware requirements.

    Note:

    Premiere Pro 14.7 supports macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) on Intel CPUs. Native support for Apple M1 CPUs is not yet available but you can run Premiere Pro in Rosetta 2 emulation mode on Apple M1 devices. For more information, see Do Adobe apps work on Apple computers that use the M1 chip?

    The funny thing is that in runs GREAT as in fast and it crashes less then my windows desktop. 

     

    That was a great suggestion, I imported the rendered clip like you mentioned and to my surprise it looked exactly the same as the project in adobe primere! The color difference was gone! So it's as if the colors I am seeing in adobe primere are not true.... hummm What's going on here.

      Try importing the export in PP and compare/view it there. Are you seeing the same issue
