Why MAGIX AVC/MP4 encoder changes the color of the original video?

Hi,

I'm using Movie Studio 17 with the included MAGIX AVC/MP4 encoder.

However, I have observed that MAGIX AVC/MP4 encoder changes the color tones of the original video in the output. This a frame from my original video:

And this is the quite same frame from the output video (the soft color tones are lost):

I thought the reason is that the original video is YUV 4:2:2, but the MAGIX made only YUV 4:2:0 output. However, I tried the MainConcept MPEG-2 encoder also, where I can force to output YUV 4:2:2 as well, but the result is same.

I used these settings:

Any idea what the root cause is?

Thanks,
Zsolt
