Exported wide-gamut project from wide-gamut library looks much different

Hi

Editing an HDR clip (not ProRes) from iPhone 13 in a wide-gamut project from a wide-gamut library, I came up with some looks I wanted to use. But when I exported the project there were big differences in the look.

Codec: ProRes 422

Color Space: Wide-Gamut HDR - Rec. 2020 PQ

Why is that and can I do anything about it?

Re the 2 pics: The light is the Project look, the dark is the exported look.

Wow. Where was the second image taken?

iPhone DolbyVision HDR isn't PQ, it's HLG. See if that works better.

Hey Tom, I just wanted to let you know—

After I got done being weepy, I created a new STANDARD library instead of Wide-Gamut for the iPhone HDR footage, created a couple Standard projects, dropped in edited clips from the Wide projects, did not use the HDR Tools effect, and found I could pretty easily recreate my looks.

Hi Tom

Thanks for the reply.

Both pics are screenshots. The 1st from my project, the 2nd after export.

Yes, when I created the project it used color space PQ and I liked the initial look tho know HLG is the "correct" option, so I went with PQ. I tried in HLG but 2 of my 4 looks couldn't come close to being replicated. So stayed in PQ.

O man really a bummer.
