Body: <p>in my current project I am working in an sRGB colour space (32bpc) with the option "linearize workflow" enabled.
  My composition looks fine in after effects, but after exporting to mp4 using H.264 Codec, the colours don't look the same, especially the very lights one.</p>

  <p>the image above shows the difference. On the left hand side you see the colours after export and on the right hand side is how the colours look in after effects.</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing here?</p>

  in my current project I am working in an sRGB colour space (32bpc) with the option "linearize workflow" enabled.
  My composition looks fine in after effects, but after exporting to mp4 using H.264 Codec, the colours don't look the same, especially the very lights one.
