Allow scripts and plug-ins to set Output Color Space per Output Module

Hi,

I often automate Render Queue setup and ran into a limitation: scripts and C++ plug-ins cannot set the Output Color Space found under Output Module Settings > Color.

This would be especially useful when the same composition has multiple Output Modules. Each module may need a different output color space, while After Effects can use the same rendered frames for all of them. Right now the only practical options are editing every module manually or maintaining separate Output Module templates, which becomes difficult to manage and can also affect unrelated format and codec settings.

Could you please expose read and write access to these color settings for each Output Module through ExtendScript and the C++ SDK? It would be useful to control Output Color Space, Preserve RGB, Embed Color Profile, and the OCIO display/view when applicable.

This would make color-managed render automation much simpler and help prevent exports in the wrong color space.

Thanks!
