Hi, Im new day 1 of adobe premier. When I go to export my video its way over-saturated versus what it looks like when im editing. Iv tried all the youtube fix's but nothing works, can someone assist?

It all has to do with color management.

I solved this problem too but another way. On export, open Effects > Tone Mapping and select "Hue Preservation" in Tone Mapping Method.

Ann's right, it's simply that you don't have CM set correctly. That's all in the Lumetri panel's settings tab now.

 

Auto detect log and auto tonemap should be on for nearly everyone. Same with display color management. 

 

Make sure your sequence CM is the same as your export presets ... use ONLY presets without HLG or PQ in the preset name for SDR/Rec.709, and use ONLY the correct presets with HDR, so depending on the sequence form of HDR, they should have the HLG or PQ in the preset name.

 

Display gamma ... pick your poison. I can talk about that for hours thanks to Apple's blunder ... ah well.

thanks your right I changed the sequence to rec 709. Is there a way I can use the 2100 setting? I find the 709 way harder to get a nice colour grading, it was way easier in 2100

If it's harder in one than another, that typically means you don't have the complete system of settings matching. And it is a system now, not just pick one setting and go.

 

Screen grabs of the full Lumetri Settings tab ... maybe 2-3 grabs, so you get all the tabs shown ... would help.

 

It's not a simple system anymore, it's built to  handle some more complex working needs than it was before. So having the whole shebang set for what you need is required.

 

Suggested starting settings are:

  • Display color management on (unless you have highly calibrated  and profiled your system ... and if you don't know how a profile is different than calibration, turn on the DCM.
  • Extended Dynamic range where available if on a Mac Retina.
  • Auto detect Log on.
  • Auto tonemapping on.
  • Sequence color space to Rec.709/SDR ... unless you really really need HDR.
  • Display gamma of broadcast (2.4) or web (2.2) unless you a) work on a Mac and 2) don't care about non-Mac viewers of your deliverables
  • Use only presets that match the color space of your sequence. SDR/Rec.709 sequence, don't use any HLG or HDR named export preset. If HDR sequence, match the export preset name to your sequence.

I've moved your post from Using the Community (for questions about the forums) to Adobe Premiere Pro for you.
