The new native OCIO color management in After Effects works great for me - but only if I export using the Render Que, where I can control the final Output Color Space using Color Tab of the Output Module. This allows me to export my ACES footage as ACES/sRGB (olor_picking: Output - sRGB and Output/Output - sRGB options also work). Using that export setting makes my exported footage match my working settings in After Effects using the OCIO ACES color management.
But I see no way of doing this in Media Encoder. The footage is always exported way too dark. And the only output color options I see are greyed out.
See screenshot.
I am using macOS 12.6.3

That was the help page I originally referenced (along with he Adobe video tutorial) to get ACES working with my footage. Unfortunately, it dosen't address Media Encoder - which is not properly outputting my footage the way the internal render queue does. So back to my original question: Is the new OCIO Color Management System working with clips exported via Media Encoder? And if so, how to set that up?

BUMP. Still no answer for how to export OCIO / ACES workflows from Media Encoder since the Export Color Space option is greyed out on my M1 Mac Mini. Guess I will have to contact support directly.
