<p>Are you using QuickTime .mov as your video container or MP4? If it's the former you will find your solution in the answer above.</p>

<p>If not, this might just have to do with your settings when encoding to h264. Try to export in a lossless codec and see if you get the same result. Then try an application like Handbrake with High Profile and see if you still get the same issue. H264 is a lossy codec and with a low-bitrate you can get washed out colors.</p>

<p>I am trying to solve this know gamma shift problem upon exporting from Adobe Premiere CC.
I have video recorded by GoPro Black edition.
The video quality is great but after compiling the video in a film by Premiere CC I loose
the quality of the color.
I have tried x264 but I still have this problem.</p>

<p>Probably I have not understood properly the reasons.
I do not think it is calibration problem, in fact (to my mind), if I open with vlc or quicktime, on the same computer (mac retina with maverick) the original video and the exported one I clearly notice the difference. 
WHY?, same computer, same movie, same player the only thing is that I open the file with Premiere CC and then exported it. 
I used the highest quality and I tried the H264 and x264 even with gamma correction of 2.2 the video does not look the same.</p>

<p>This is extremely annoying especially for underwater movies.</p>

<p>Please any help?
I can't get out of this problem.</p>
