imovie and Vegas yield different renders colors?

Noticed when comparing video of a .jpg image render in imovie and Vegas the colors rendered did not match. (The red colors look very different) Whats weird when opening the orignal jpg in any standalone image viewer it actually matches the vegas render perfectly. So maybe its the imovie render thats messing up the colors? LOL

So basically my question is. Based on the orignal jpg. which render is "correct" in terms of color space?

Opening the original image in google chrome/ then any image viewing application will show just what I mean in regards to color difference. But what is the right interpretation? 😅

Thoughts on what is causing this?

I see you use a 32 bit floating point project in Vegas Pro which is most of the time no reason for, but doing color management - ahm - being byond simple. I'd recommend using an 8 bit project unless there is a very good reason not to do.
