Gamma Shift issues with .mov files and .h64 and mp4

[aprilw41098689]

How is this still an issue? I can only render out uncompressed Quicktime movs on a Windows PC without my movie looking washed out. All of the above prefered codecs wash out my images. Having to output a an uncompressed QT is ridiculous. I have had this issue for so long now, and it's still happening. Any advice?

Where are you seeing these washed out colors? If you import your rendered files back into AE, do they still look washed out? How are you rendering them in the first place?

I am seeing them in After Effects. Except, my mistake, they are not washed out, they are darker. This occurs with rendering out of AE with motion Jpeg A and B, .h64 and .mp4. The only export template I have discovered that exports without a gamma shift is QT uncompressed. Which as you can imagine at 4k results in huge file sizes.

Are you rendering directly out of AE's render queue or are you using the Adobe Media Encoder?

What are your color management settings?

I rendered out of AE's render queue. Colour Management is turned off.

Try using AME to render an MP4. Using the QuickTime wrapper on an H.264 in AE is a pretty buggy workflow.

Also, try QuickTime with Photo-JPEG codec and QuickTime with the PNG codec out of AE's render queue.

See how all three of those look.

The PNG codec caused a gamme shift (washed out look) as did Photo-JPEG. As for AME it failed to render... gave an error about not being able to see the original file. A dynamic link issue?

[Szalam]

Possibly.
