Premiere Pro Colors on Export - اردو / हिंदी

Introduction

Assalam, and welcome! I am Imran, your mentor and teacher. Recently, I've encountered a perplexing issue with Adobe Premiere Pro while working on my new Mac setup. Although I have already created a few videos, I was experiencing significant color discrepancies during export. This article aims to share my findings and provide guidance to anyone facing similar challenges.

The Problem

In one of my previous videos, which you might have seen, I noticed that the contrast in the exported video was far from what I had originally intended. Upon examining the footage closely, I realized that the colors were washed out and lacked the vibrancy I had in the Premiere Pro workspace. This is a subtle yet crucial issue that many may overlook.

What I Discovered

After extensive searching, I discovered that Adobe Premiere Pro's default export settings for Mac are configured for broadcast colors. This setting alters the colors' appearance during playback, diminishing the contrast when you upload videos online—specifically through platforms like YouTube. As a result, I needed to adjust my settings to ensure that the colors matched my intentions.

The Solution

To solve this issue on Mac, follow the steps below:

Navigate to Settings: Open Premiere Pro on your Mac. Go to the menu bar, click on Edit, and then select Preferences.
Adjust Color Settings: Go to the Color section. Ensure that the option for Display Color Management is activated. This could impact how colors are represented during editing.
Gamma Compensation: The next step involves gamma compensation. Gamma affects the actual brightness and light levels between broadcast and web content. Download the gamma compensation file from Adobe's official website (link provided in the description) and import it into your project.
Render the Video: Select the area you wish to render, and export using the imported gamma compensation settings. This should give you a more accurate export as per your original editing colors.

Results and Conclusion

Once these adjustments were made, I exported the video again, and the differences were astounding. The colors in the newly rendered video perfectly matched what I had intended in my Premiere workspace. Switching from Windows to Mac has been a challenge, as I had been on Windows systems for a long time. However, with these small modifications, I am now able to achieve the desired quality in my videos.

The learning curve can be daunting, but I hope that by sharing this information, many other Mac users can avoid the same pitfalls.
