Rendered Export Looks Desaturated Compared to Preview

[robertg29697649]

Hi all,

I am a novice to Premiere Rush and I am having an issue. I have finished my video and the colors in the preview look correct. After exporting, they appear washed out. How do I fix this? The footage was shot on an iPhone 13. Please help!

Hey Robert! Let's take a look. One of the things we can do to improve it is to go to the Share page where you choose all your export settings, then untwirl the Advanced Settings menu, then change the export setting from "Automatic" to one of the other options. 

To fix this issue in future projects, go to the Settings app on your iPhone, then scroll down to the Camera settings, then scroll all the way down to the bottom and disable Smart HDR recording. You can also scroll back up to the top of the Camera settings, select "Formats" and change the setting to "Most Compatible" which will help Rush display your image more accurately. 

Let us know if changing the export settings gets you a better color result!
