It also has big issues understanding gamma. Washed-out or over-contrasty playback is almost always the result of QT getting confused by data or video levels (whether the brightness range for R/G/B is 0-255 or only 16-235). (2) is also common, and QuickTime player is notorious for it. That makes the preview window look wrong, but it will probably match what you see in third party apps. There is an option in AE to disable display correction, which will send the pixel RGB values direct to screen without adjustment. It's possible to calibrate a phone screen using a spectrometer, but nobody ever does it. Very few players - either on desktops or within web browsers, are properly color-managed. Your video file has been incorrectly saved from AE or AME (for example by mangling the header).That app is reading the file incorrectly, for example ignoring or mistaking which color profile has been set in the file header.That app is not using color management, so it is ignoring the 'adjustments' needed for your calibrated monitor.If a third party playback app shows something different, then there are three possible causes: Intentionally over-correcting your exported footage so it looks 'right' in an external video player is completely the wrong approach.Īssuming you have followed the rules for setting up a calibrated display and enabling color management for the composition window, then what you see in After Effects is 'correct', in the sense it is a true representation of the appearance of each pixel (because color management takes account of your display calibration profile to 'adjust' the image, it may not be sending the exact RGB value to the screen that is stored in the frame - but if you set up two different color-managed computers side by side, each with a calibrated display, the composition previews should look exactly the same). In After Effect, my colors looks over saturated and contrasted when the adjustment layer is on but after rendering this adjustment layer did a really good job to compensate the color loss. I toggled my Adjustment Layer before rendering only.

mp4 opened with Quicktime : After Effect/Project Setting/Colors set to sRGB 16 bits + an adjustment layer WITH Image Contrast - Saturation Effect applied. mp4 opened with Quicktime with After Effect/Project Setting/Colors set to none 8 bits. Top : After Effect/Project Setting/Colors set to sRGB 16 bits. It's not normal having such a color/contrast shift after exporting. I found this workaround that seems to works but would be nice having a better solution/answer from Adobe. Changing to sRGB 16 bits added a bit more saturation and contrast but still way not enough compared to my colors in After Effect. Colors were completely washed out after exporting. By Default, my Project Setting Color Working Space was set to none. Really frustrated loosing so much colors and contrast when i export. So my recommendation is to do your tests before you start a big project, this way you won't be disappointed later on when you render your video to discover colors are not what you expected. It is important to notice that the colors vary when you render the video inside AE or when you use the Adobe Media Encoder with the YouTube default compression. In my case, I make animated videos to be published in YouTube so the choice that seemed to be closer to the color I see in YouTube was this one:

The solution is to change the color configuration of the projects in AE, in a way you choose an option as similar as possible to the final device in which the video will be played.

It is something I didn't notice when working on Windows, but now that I am working on Mac it is more noticeable to me as the screen is better. What I found is that colors may vary according to the video player as it is shown below (YouTube, QuickTime, VLC): And I also didn't find any forum where this issue was approached and explained using simple terms.

After checking the issue I found out something that may be basic knowledge for experienced animators and designers in After Effects.
