    I had this same exact issue. You need to go to sequence settings and make sure "working color space" is set to rec 709. You may have to re-do your color grading after setting it as the pictures are now overexposed on the timeline. But this way the picture won't overexpose after export.

      You have no idea how much this helped me. I've been struggling for the past hour trying to figure out where I was going wrong. Thank you so much

      Three places must match for color space ...

      • Clip color space
      • Sequence working color space
      • Export preset color space

       

      If they do it works. Do not try to make an SDR preset into one for HDR, or vice versa.

       

      Use only export presets without a color space name at the end for SDR/Rec.709 exports of Rec.709-set clips on a Rec.709 sequence.

       

      Use only export presets with the CORRECT HDR tag in the preset name for HDR exports. With matching clip CM, working sequence CM, and export preset CM.


      The overexposure is a glitch on adobe's end causing the scanned image to be overexposed. The images looks perfect then morphs when it's saved. Please fix this!

        Short story:

         

        The phone is set to shooting HLG, an HDR form. Even bringing the highs down with Lumetri controls on an SDR/Rec.709 timeline so they look fine will get ignored on export.

         

        So ... go to the project panel. Select one or more clips. Right-click/Modify/Interpret Footage.

         

        Go to the bottom, to the new color management controls. Set the Override option to Rec.709.

         

        And maybe ... set your phone to shoot SDR/Rec.709 files to avoid the hassle.

          Hi Neil, 

          Thanks for the reply. I've tried everything you said, but there still is no difference..  Do you have some other tips? Thank you in advance!

          So ... you went to the Project panel, selected the clips and set the Override to Rec.709, then made sure the Sequence CM settings were Rec.709. The image looked fine with Rec.709 scopes, and you exported to a 'normal' export preset, not one with HLG or PQ in the name?

           

          If all that is correct, I'd love it if you could supply a clip for me to test on my rig.
