Color corrections
I am new to premiere pro and editing in general I can find any place that can give me an answer on this basic question, should I do color correction first to all my clips then edit them? I thought applying the color correction to a clip then editing it would makes sense since you often take more than one cut from each clip. However when i apply my color correction to a clip and drag it back into the resource panel the clip duplicates but dose not retain any color correction, so dose this mean i have to color correct each clip and then export it, then import the color corrected clip back in to premiere then edit it? Or dose this mean i have to color correct each cut one by one once i have the sequence edited? How do i export my final project with all the sequences in order or do i export each sequence then reimport it into premiere then place the sequences in a master time line then export the final project, this is all really confusing for a new user.
thanks

Yes, edit your sequence first and then do the color correction. You can copy and paste color correction effects from clips coming from the same camera setup to raw clips to save some time.

Generally, the process of Color Correction is to only do the clips on the timeline – saving you lots of work and make shot to shot correction easier.
