After Effects: Exporting on High Quality changes colours

Hello,

My composition in After Effects is nearly all yellow, when I export with settings, DXV 3, High Quality or High Quality + Alpha, the final outcome is a video with the yellow being pink.

BUT when I export to normal quality or normal quality + alpha, the colours are correct.

How come the "High Quality" setting is making my project different colours?

I would like to export on high quality + alpha not normal quality + alpha.

Thanks!

This kind of goes along with my question as to why some HQ files are also smaller?
Simple 4K@30fps composition, 1 minute in length with SMPTE color bars, the Normal file is much larger than the HQ file

Which After effects version are you using that outputs the wrong colors to DXV?

DXV3HQ uses a different color space. Instead of storing the colors as RGB values, it stores them as YUV.

I can't get it to break on my windows machine,
could you try exiting all Adobe products, installing the latest Alley from our download page, and rendering to DXV HQ again?
