Is it possible to export sRGB from Premiere or Media Encoder?

[dparsons85]

Simple question. I want my videos on YouTube to look like they do in Premiere (color and gamma), the only way I've found I can achieve that is by doing this:

• Export from Premiere as ProRes HQ, with a color space of Rec 709 Gamma 2.4
• Bring the export into After Effects and put it in a timeline that matches it's specs
• Change the Working Color Space to sRGB
• Export as ProRes HQ
• Bring the sRGB ProRes file into Media Encdoer and export as a H.264
• Upload to Youtube

I'd like to avoid round tripping through After Effects to change it's color space. Is this possible?

Well, that was a fascinating and awesome bit of sleuthing! Great information.

I was starting to wonder what codec you were using, and about to ask. But you'd already sussed this out. Thanks for chasing through this and posting the details. Very useful information.
