What about the uploaded video on YouTube? Chrome was having the same problem: low saturation and contrast of all uploaded videos. This can happen for those of you who use QuickTime on Windows and have a calibrated monitor.
Unfortunately, the quick video preview in Finder uses QuickTime for rendering the video and always shows it badly. To my understanding, it mixed the color profile with the color profile of the calibrated monitor, which has a wider gamut than sRGB and thus created a strange combination that was utterly unacceptable. The problem with the video review turned out to be in the QuickTime ecosystem, which seems to be notorious for its funky color management. There it had the correct contrast and colors. I tried viewing the uploaded video in Firefox instead of in Google Chrome. I installed VLC and voila! The video looked the same as in my editor. The exported video looked bad: no contrast, lack of saturation, wrong colors, especially if I was working with skin tones. At that time, I tried editing with DaVinci Resolve, but I had the same problem. This would be quite inaccurate and very time-consuming. For me, it was unacceptable to color grade by eye without any waveforms monitoring and export to see if it was correct. What was my first thought? It was a problem with the editor. On the right is a screenshot from Google Chrome. The problem is quite noticeable when you have to match skin tones.
