Premiere Pro Into Color

Question

We have an HDV project in Premiere (Windows) that needs to get into Color for final grading. Any recommendations for a workflow? I'm thinking a QT movie timeline export with an EDL, then import to
Color; as to what Premiere can export, who knows?

This is the sort of thing up with which I can no longer put.

It should be: "Neither can I afford NOR train a monkey.

And its another reason for doing correction on layers. The keyframed "dissolves" always have to deal with the odd mixtures that occur when original clips are mixed together. True, it should track linearly, but the reality is that the keyframes expect to go from A to B... but what happens when in the midst of the dissolve, the chromaticity as calculated by the originating effect pushes the colour through point "C"? Think of what would happen if a predominantly blue scene dissolves through to a predominantly yellow scene (worst case scenario)? Well, obviously blue + yellow = ????? Answer: grey. Okay, so how do you correct around that? If you deal with the original clips, correct them (with the layered approach), then send that back to FCP to do the actual dissolve, situation solved.
That is the real disadvantage of correcting a baked V1 timeline.
