Incorrect exposure and color in Premiere v22.1.1

I updated to Premiere V22.1.1 today, and the colors are way off on all video clips I've checked. Specifically, the exposure is dramatically increased and there is a slight blue shift. Below is a screenshot of an MP4 clip in Premiere 2021 and the second screenshot is the same clip in Premiere 2022. Premiere 2021 view is correct and looks nearly identical when played in-camera, in Windows Media Player, and in VLC. From what I can see, all settings are identitcal in both versions... I have Display Color Management enabled, Mercury Playback GPU Acceleration, Rec 709 color space, and I-Frame Only MPEG preview. No effects have been applied in either case. I have tried changing all of the settings mentioned above, but the problem remains. Also, the incorrect colors in Premiere 2022 are applied to exported video, so its not just in the preview window.

 

 

Any suggestions on how to correct this issue? Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks! That was the issue. The individual clips had to be modified with a color space override to Rec 709. Thankfully multiple clips can be slected at a time to do a batch modify, but hopefully an adjustment will be made in the future (either in Premiere or by the camera manufacturer) so that this is no longer an issue.

    No, you're not going to get a change. Why? Because Pr is finally getting the color management (CM) options its needed for some time.

     

    Your clips have probably a log or perhaps HLG tag from the camera. So ... Premiere is handling that media now as HDR media, unless you choose to overrided.

     

    For most practical purposes, we will need to override, as there is little real HDR work being published anywhere now. Most is still Rec.709 as the vast majority of screens and TVs are still Rec.709.

     

    But that will change over the next year or two, really. This "is the future!" ...

     

    I've requested a full CM panel, where the user could set what default behaviors they want, and set overrides also. That would make it a LOT simpler.

     

    From the 38 options we'd then have ... um ... 😉

     

    Well, it would only all be in one location at least ...
