Ok so this is the weirdest problem I have ever had.

Here is a quick rundown:
The exported video works perfectly on every device. It's outputted to Rec 709. So far so good. I try uploading it to Instagram. When I am in the menu selecting the said video, it looks the way it should. When I select the video and hit the upload button, the gamma skyrockets, making the entire image almost white. When I hit upload the image stays "broken". But when viewed on the page, the thumbnail looks exactly as the grade does. Now comes the weirdest thing: when I delete the video, a copy of the "broken" version is stored on my Iphone. Is this an Instagram issue or is the export "broken"? i have sent it via different apps and it works fine. So my question is if my project settings are wrong? Here are the settings:

I also apply color space transformation in the node tree but I would think that does not matter, since I get the desired output. Is this a Davinci YRGB issue? I have worked with ACES before for Instagram projects and had no issues whatsoever.

Thanks in advance for the answers,

Dawid

Here's my thinking.

If you play the video from hardware to a calibrated display and it looks correct, there is nothing wrong with it. The issue must be with Instagram.

But you need that proper QC as a first step. Played from hardware to a calibrated display.
