    What is the quickest way to prepare multiple sequences in FCP for broadcast safe?

    I recently discovered Walter Biscardi tutorial on using Color, and due to my lack (or rather non-existent) knowledge of Color, I’m unaware of how it works and how to use it to it’s full advantage.

    If you are unaware of Walter’s method it involves:
    1) Exporting a self-contained file of the sequence
    2) Creating a new sequence with said file.
    3) “Send To Color”.
    4) Adjust Ceiling IRE and Chroma Limit.
    5) Render.
    6) “Send to Final Cut Pro” which then creates a new sequence in FCP.

    My problem is that I have I haven’t found a way to “Send to Color” multiple sequences at the same time and have Color render everything in one batch. Currently, I have to Send to Color one sequence at a time, wait for Color to finish processing, Send it back to FCP, and do it all over again with another sequence.

    I’m one to believe there’s always a better way and there HAS to be a better workflow for making multiple sequences broadcast safe. Perhaps another method that skips using Color all together? Isn’t there a way to keep it all in FCP?

    Any info or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!
