Just upgraded to v22 HLG footage overexposed

As user Johhnyk9 .... posted in this thread, the proxy color management is totally broken.

Proxy Color Management

If you are exporting to any wider dynamic or color range media, whether HLG/PQ, there are several very specific things you have to set in the Video tab of the export dialog even if your sequence is HLG/PQ.

Premiere does not seem to apply the high/wide dynamic and color range to the export without the user changing to the proper settings.

For H.264 HDR, go down to the Export dialog's Video tab. Set the "Render at Max Depth" button to on, set the Profile to High (minimal) or High 10. High 10 gives more further options but is only needed at this time for professional delivery specs.

If you are just starting out trying to get something for YouTube or whatever, stick with the default settings that come with the High profile. The HDR Graphics White should typically be 203, and is the grayed-out text starts with 203, you're good to go. If not, uncheck that box, and set the value to the " 203 (75% HLG, 58% PQ) " option.

And your export should work for most HDR devices. Always test your settings of course!

If you need to set further controls for content delivery specifications, then select the High10 profile, then an export color space to meet your specs from Rec.2020, Rec.2100HLG, or Rec.2100PQ.

You would then set the rest of the options to match the specifications you are working for. Which ... most of us aren't but some do need to do.

Karl's video may help you understand how it all works.

Great thread, and definitely have the same issue. 2 Questions:
1. Has anyone figured out a way to create proxies that don't have this issue? 
I currently used the Modify > Interpret > Colour Space Rec709 method (which is really annoying to do it every project for every file) but still have the issues with proxies- look super over exposed. 

2. I shoot on a Sonya73 and to date the best profile for me has been Sony HLG2 - wondering if until Adobe fixes this issue do yous beleive it's worth switching to a different picture profile? (just being open minded as I don't want this issue haha)

I was able to get my old workflow back by dragging My HLG3 footage into Premiere, then as another user stated right click the footage > modify > interpret > click "color space override" and switch to Rec.709.  Once you do that, you can drage the footage into a timeline and apply a conversion LUT of your choosing. (I like to use Leeming luts for example).  Once you go to export, colors should look as they do in the timeline.  The key for me was leaving display assist off and interpreting as Rec.709

So thankful to find this thread - it saved my a lot of headache trying to correct the colours back to normal. Now everything looks great in Premiere Pro, but alas, it still looks the same overexposed way when I export to mp4. I tried changing the preset to "H264 - match source - HLG", but then the video wouldn't play at all.

Does anyone know what I need to adjust in the media export settings? I prefer mp4  file format 

I had the same issue after upgrading to 22.  I opened an older PR file with a mix of footage from Sony a7iii HLG3 to DJI D-Cine.  What a mess.  I had to follow the same steps on the indivudal files and the sequence:

Project tab, Right click footage > Modify> Interpret footage > Color space rec709

and

Sequence> sequence settings> working color space> rec709

Thank you for starting this thread.  I really hope this wont be the case for all older PR files.  It seems like there should be a way to deactivate the auto color management in future updates.

Thank you so much, johnnyk7917700.

I had save problem and your solution was the best.

HLG files from GH5, in Japan.

I had the same problem. Do i have to do this everytime now? And why??
