Problems with colors when exporting

In editing, in Premiere Pro v. 24.0.3, the colors look fine, but after exporting via Media Encoder v. 23.0, the colors are distorted.
I have used PSD files and the result is the same with PNG.
Have tried lut: QT Gamma Compensation, in export - without optimal results.
Same problem in After Effects.

When exporting to Animated GIF, the colors are ok.

Anyone know a solution to the problem?

This is ment to be a small animated banner.

After Effects first - export colours not exporting right. Then Premiere - again exporting colours nok right...

12 frames to keep a smaller file size.

Besides the color: sequence setting is the size of a post stamp. Very tiny and 12fps. Is that the source?

First, they have given a sensible, SINGLE location for all color management controls ... the new Settings tab in the Lumetri panel. Don't waste time hunting around for them anymore!

Second ... what's your monitor setup, is it set to Rec.709/sRGB, and have you changed anything like a legal to full setting in either the GPU setup or the monitor settings?

That right there is a not unusual thing ... Rec.709 monitors should be set to legal or auto, NEVER to full. As this does not affect how many levels can be displayed, but only how they are encoded to file and decoded to playback. ALL Rec.709 media, full or legal, has 255 levels in 8 bit, 1043 in 10 bit. Period.

But it's an easy misunderstanding ... as I can attest from personal experience when I first went into video post work. Sigh.

Next ... how has the monitor been calibrated? Or ... has it?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
