Washed out Bright Video

I posted earlier about video exporting being really bright. Work around after work around and I'm still struggling to the point of canceling Permier Pro. 

 

I help create videos on Tiktok for, "FlyWithKay." Everything worked great until the last update. I was told (no this forum) to set the sequence settings to rec2100 HLG. This fixes the bright washout in PP while I'm working on it. Then I go to export and it washes out again. So I hit the, "Match Sequence Settings," button. This changes it back to NOT washed out BUT, it only lets this export as a QuickTime file. I can't change this setting. When I export the video, Iphone will no longer play it or even DL it. It shows it as a file, not a video. This wasn't happening at first. 

 

So if I don't click, "Match Sequence Settings," when I scroll down to the video resolution, it's set at REC 709 and REC 2100 HLG is grayed out and can't be selected. 

 

This is INSANE! Adope literally has me trapped in to settings I DO NOT WANT. This all worked fine in the previous version. ADOBE apparently doesn't expect people to use Premier Pro for Tiktok or just doesn't care about it. 

 

HELP, I'm drowning!

Correct answer R Neil Haugen

Your sequence and your export need to both be in the same color space. You chose to work in an HDR sequence using the HLG space, but exported to "SDR", the standard dynamic range of Rec.709.

 

Had you scrolled the export presets to select an HLG option, the color space would have been the same between the timline and export.

 

But ... there's not that much actual use for HDR yet, so it might be advisable to consider going to the clips in the bin (and you can do this with a single clip or many at once). Right-click, Modify/Interpret Footage, and use the bottom Color Management (CM) option to "Override to Rec.709".

 

Then use a Rec.709 export preset ... which is any that doesn't have HLG or PQ in the name of the preset.

    So I tried to walk through this. When I set the override under teh Modify Tab, it looks better. 

     

    BUT, I can't export it using Rec.709. That option is still greyed out. 

     

    How do I set the entire workspace to SDR? Or, how do I get the export to work. 

     

    Still don't have an answer to this. 😞

    You might get a slight gamma shift when exporting. I use an adjustment layer to compensate for it as seen in the video below.

    Also NOT what I'm talking about. Your videos are slightly duller in color. 

     

    My videos look great in the timeline, and completly washed out at export. I don't want to have to do an adjustment layer very single video. 

     

    Your videos both look okay to post although it's a little dull. I wouldn't care if it were that minor. 

     

    Thanks for the post, just looking for a different answer.

      You can save an effects preset for the adjustment layer or save a custom lut at export. Either way is very quick.

      Dont choose Match Sequence Settings. Choose H.264 under format.

      Selecting H.264 washes the video out again and I can't correct it back to normal!
