Hi, how are you guys getting Rec709 plates through ACES (ACEScg working space for CG element composite) without any gamma shift happening on export?

In the past I swear I have always just set the input transform to Output - Rec709 and then again on the write node set the output transform to Output - Rec709, and the render has perfectly matched the plate.

Now however, in Nuke 16 / ACES 1.2 when I do the same it results in the export looking washed out compared to the original plate. Testing 1.3 as well I can’t seem to get the output to match the plate perfectly.

How do you guys deal with Rec709 plates correctly?
