Adobe Color Space Bug

  • Encode Format: PRORES_KS 422

    Version: Voukoder Pro 2026.0.18 | After Effects Beta 26.1.1x31

    Since voukoder pro 2026 (beta or later version), VIDEO encode format has this color issue on adobe, no matter what config I use about Color Space (AE & VKP, even the HDR metadata)

    (VKP 2026 works well on VEGAS)

    It seems NOT the plugin's fault cuz the issue still there when I replace them with legacy (version 2)

    Different video encode format's issue varies on detail, but yes, all of them have this issue (at least I tested H264, HEVC, PRORES)

    Did you also test (an confirm this) with the built-in Adobe encoders encoders?

    The reason is After Effects is a bit "special" in terms of colors.

    • It treats colors as RGB (and not YUV) values. But most encoders require YUV data as input. That why a lossy color format conversion is necessary.
    • Also when using the high bit depth (16 bit per color channel) export Voukoder Pro has to remove the most significant bit, because Adobe used it for something else. That's why it is actually only 15 bit. This is from the first version of Voukoder on. But it only applies to 16 bit data, and only After Effects.
