Clipping? - ACES Workflow with Red Giant Universe Glow

I have an EXR file in After Effects in OCIO color management.

 

The render displays as expected but as soon as I apply any exposure to it my RG Glow effects clips.

What do I need to do to prevent this? I have linked an example file so you can see my setup.

 

Any help is much appreciated!

So I have found that adding a OCIO Display Transform effect resolves the clipping.

Hello! I'm having trouble working with Red Giant Universe in ACES as well. Can I ask how you usually export your effects so they look correct? Thank you!

I am now using ACES 1.3 for CG content.

If this is the case for you you need to make sure your display and export color space is set to sRGB - Display/ACES 1.0 - SDR Video. This should get you the best results when working and exporting. 

 

Hope this helps.

Would you check the the color setting in Project Settings (File menu > Project  Settings > Color tab)? You find the setting of OCIO there.

Yes I am in OCIO color mode. If you take a look at my example link. All my settings are proper.

 

Here are some screens showing the project settings and the image settings...
