PNG over saturated on image sequence import

Hello! I am putting some parts of a stop motion clip together with Moho. I am having an issue with a PNG image sequence which I imported as an image sequence layer. The images are really bright in Moho (and render), like oversaturated. But not in other applications - Affinity Photo 2 (photoshop clone) and photos app just looking at them. Is there a PNG or image sequence setting I have overlooked? There were no issues testing and assembling jpeg image sequence. So weird!

Usually a PNG image should be pretty reliable in terms of colour. Could you post an example image?

What Moho does to is (same when rendered. Has been tested by another user in Moho)

It looks overexposed.

I suspect your PNGs are 16-bit or 32-bit. You should be able to convert them down to 8-bit - which should make Moho happier.

Within Affinity you should be able to view the Document Info and particularly the Color Info and convert the Color Format.
