Washed Out Colors After Export in Premiere Rush

[zambezishark]

Hi All, I'm new Rush but not to video editing (I've previously worked with Premiere Pro and other video editing software). I cannot fathom out why all my exports are faded and VERY washed out – nothing like what I saw on the screen while editing them. I'm working on an 18-month-old, top-of-the-range iMac. Your help would be appreciated. Many thanks, David.

The Graphics overlay works! Thank you to whoever has figured it out.

So.. this fix does work (thanks!)  But why on earth hasn't Adobe fixed this obvious glitch that was reported here in November 2019???

[Alan24369620bjj3]

Incredible as it seems, sometimes large corporations move at a snail space. There are some many recomendations to improve Rush that has been made and Adobe hasn't implemented so many of them!?! Could it be that they don't want to canibalize in to Premiere?

[callieb51680491]

Yeah. But improvements and new features are one thing.. Major video-ruining malfucnctions are another. Rush is a long way from being as full featured at Premiere Pro.  I do agree it's mindblowing how poorly some of the biggest service providers like Adobe maintain and debug their flagship products.

I contacted Adobe and the support person blamed it on the macOS. Go onto YouTube or Google and search for "macOS gamma shift".    

seems like I only see this problem when viewing on my iMac.

This is now working for me on Macbook pro - anyone else?

For the frustrated ones who kept asking which overlay - any overlay will do. Simply pick an overlay under graphics and add to your movie. Then click the overlay and move it outside the canvas or viewable area.

This should be the answer. I just did the record overlay, moved it left off screen and reexported withou issue. Thx

I have tried every free overlay and none seem to help with the issue. Do I need to use the premium ones. I can't imagine it would make a difference though. So frustrating.

I just tried this after several other attempts of file converting and colorspace and filter management. It came out PERFECT, this should be designated as the answer as it completely solved the problem!

I have never gone to a community site and ACTUALLY found an answer. Thank you, you saint! 😭❤️

[Dustie25250084ed6u]

Worked for me too!

[defaultmvxtpsz1yifn]

Appreciate that. Worked for me today!

Anyone know why the overlay solution is working on my iPhone 13 mini and not on my Mac Studio? I would really prefer not to have to edit video on the tiny screen. Thanks!

Thank you thank you!!!! You saved me so much time and effort!

[OhhNomi]

Thank you ! This is so dumb but it works

[Jediter]

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for uploading this, a quick and basic fiz for a ridiculous issue! Have a great day!

Hello Community,

I read the responses, and I'm amazed that this works. I will ask the product team why this workaround is reliable and how they might be able to fix the problem without this process. Thanks, everyone, for reporting on this fantastic workaround.

Thanks,
Kevin

Same problem, fam ... in some spots in my videos the colours export to desaturated + over exposed.

No evidence of this at all whilst editing, but only after exporting, and reviewing the finished video.

Please advise if there are any fixes.

[Jeffrey24306990jiui]

The fixes mentioned above did not work for me.

I switched my iphone camera settings to record in "Most Compatible" instead of "High Efficiency". That has taken care of the issue for me. 

This changes the photos from .HEIC to .JPG, and the videos from .MOV to .MP4

Hope this helps someone

I had this same problem with Rush on my Samsung Galaxy z-Flip. The solution was imilar, under Advanced Recording Options turn off HDR10+. It says "some apps and websites don't support HDR10+". I've left the HDR (normal HDR) enabled

[Andrew25886757roil]

i know this question had already been answered but i wanted to share something else i found with this same issue. i just spent 2 hours talking with Adobe customer support and after the 4th agent to help me i was finally told that this can happen when recording in HDR. i had this problem when recording on an iphone 13 pro with HDR turned on. same problem as above where it looks normal in Premiere Rush but washed out after exporting. i tried recording the same video with HDR turned on and off and edited and saved the video in Rush and the video with HDR turned off had no color distorsions while the the video with HDR turned on had faded colors. i wasnt able to submit any product feedback for this because Premiere Rush wasnt listed as on of the product to submit feedback on. im very much a novice to this as well so the file versions answer provided by @zambezishark wasnt fully making sense to me so i tried somethings else. hopefully this can help someone else as well.
