Hello^^
I have the problem every time I export an Video it is way too bright
I'm currently using these settings to export
Before editing:
After editing:
If anyone has a idea how I could fix it (colour correction IDK) answer me please.

Yikes.
I'm sorry but screen shots might be better than links cause I personally don't click on links due to my paranoia about security and so on via the internet.
Offhand I would ask
1) if you export and put that back into PPro does it look OK?
2) if you export and look at it in some video player on your own computer how much 'brighter' is it ?
It might be a matter of adjusting levels instead of color correction. There are scopes and stuff to help you get within good range for viewing stuff, in general ( it gets more complicated the more specific you get re: how it's going to be viewed by 'audience'.
Unfortunately you need to provide more info I think.
Like, in general, most people say what version of program they are using, what source material is, what export is tried, what OS they are using, what codec.. all sorts of stuff.
If, however, you just want to shoot from the hip and fix a bright product, without knowing what's wrong, I would suggest you try to figure out what PERCENTAGE of the level is off. Like, if it 30 % brighter than what you think it should be after you export, you can go to your original timeline and nest the video and use levels to reduce the WHITE 30%, and see if that works for you.
Many people do the same thing, so there's nothing wrong with just fixing stuff fast like that.

1)When I put it back into PPro it looks a bit worse but not that bright
2) I think it's like 20-30% brighter
I'm using Windows 10 Home
Before:
After:
I know that this is an bad example (buton YT it looks a lot worser) if you look at the shotgun you see at the second picture it is brighter
Btw thx for helping me

The only way to have a predictable pipeline is if every part is tightly set to standards and calibrated. Given the nature of computers, monitors, "devices", browsers, and the fact most of them are color Stuupid rather than color managed, outside of a controlled system you HAVE no control.
PrPro is set to try and present pro standard sRGB Rec709 imaging, depending on your monitor it may be close or tight, or, not. Are you viewing and working on a monitor with a base color space of sRGB, gamma 2.2/2 4, calibrated to Rec709?
If so, then on that monitor you'll be seeing within PrPro very close to a proper view.
However, even if every bit of the above standards applies, once you view that in QuickTime even on that monitor you will not see the proper image as that is a particularly notoriously color stuupid app.
The only color aware browser is Firefox. And YouTube can show appropriate settings or way off.
And you cannot control those anymore than you can the color space, gamma, and color settings of every screen out there and the brightness of the viewing environment.

I'm currently using a Fujutsu P24W-6 IPS LCD Display
"Are you viewing and working on a monitor with a base color space of sRGB, gamma 2.2/2 4, calibrated to Rec709?"
I can chosse between sRGB, 6500K, 7500K, 9300K, Nativ(e) and user colour (Idk if it is called like this in English)
I think I am currently using 6500k/7500k but i think it's rather 7500k

looks like 10-15% brighter. maybe you can post your export settings... you should not use 'max bit depth' I don't think. Some others can probably help more cause I have old version of PPro ( cs6).

sRGB is a color gamut ( range of colors ), and usually the choices are sRGB, Adobe RGB and then some other stuff is available with color calibrated monitors ( like rec 709 emulation, etc. ) I think that's a pretty basic true statement.
sRBG is better for sharing stuff with other computers than Adobe RGB, which is better for printing physical high res paper prints, color separations for offset press, etc. They are ranges of color. Rec 709 is sorta a range within the sRGB space.
In the motion picture film world, for people who shoot motion pics on set, there is a color associated historically with a particular film stock ( physical plastic emulsion coated film ). That standard has been passed down to today's pro digital film cameras (like the Arri Alexa ). It is different slightly in the world of STILL photography, so for sake of simplicity this is MOTION picture stuff...
daylight = 56K (which is 5,600K )
tungsten = 32K (which is 3,200K )
The " K " stands for KELVIN ( a color temperature )
Basically your monitor is letting you set an overall caste to your screen color using similar Kelvin temperature choices. Most computer monitors recommend 65K for general film editing stuff. It has an effect on what you see sorta, just like ambient light in the room influences what you see. But it has no effect that I know of within the actual program monitor or source monitor of your editing NLE. Nor would it effect exports.
So, basically you got two different animals, sRGB and color temp, and it seems a weird choice for a monitor. I would probably make it sRGB and 65K (6,500 K )
I would keep what you got for export but uncheck "max render quality" and try export. Apparently that setting does not do what it implies ( that it will be better ). That might solve your problem with brightness.

Thank you for posting this, Erin. This just saved me so much time trying to figure out what the heck was going wrong with my export 😉

Locking this thread. It's an old one, and the last two posts are due to an entirely different issue, well covered in current posts.
