After Effects -> Drag multiple sequences to the “new comp” icon, select these comps in the bin and drag to render queue, select all and set your output for your proxy/intermediate, go to file -> Scripts -> set render location to set your output location for all items in the render queue and render out.
With some luck you can probably finish the film in After Effects as well. Export an XML file from Vegas and in AE go to file > import > Pro Import After Effects and you should be able to do a lot of back breaking labor with the replace command to change your proxy footage back to your DNG sequences (there may be an AE script to assist in this).
Speedgrade will work with DNG for onling finishing but it won’t respect Adobe Camera Raw settings so you’ll need some heavy tweaking just for a base look.

Short answer is no. Speedgrade is inflexible in that is primarily for standardized film and broadcast workflows.
Long answer is kinda. If this is vertical video filmed on a rotated camera, Speedgrade, so far as I can tell, won’t respect rotation in Redcine-X. You may need to render an intermediate.
Once you have your vertical intermediate, you can actually add more dimensions to Speedgrade’s output under the Framing section. There is a file called RenderSizes.fcps that you can add settings to.
For Windows it’s located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe SpeedGrade CS6\settings and I’m not sure exactly where it’s located on Mac. It may be within the application package.
The line added will have this format:
description[tab]horizontal dimension[space]vertical dimensionSome text editors will turn a tab key into 3-4 spaces, this will not work, it must be a tab character.

I would suggest that your client revisit their deliver specs. Assuming you’re delivering in h264 then it should be said they do not support odd numbers of pixels. Neither of the smaller sizes are 16:9. I would have your client point to the technical reasons for these selections and if you can use letter/pillar boxes to make up for the difference in aspect ratio

Ser tediting mode to “custom” (first option on sequence settings tab) and this should lift most restrictions. Be aware that arbitrary restrictions may be placed on preview codecs depending on frame size, frame rate, and so on.

Keylight performs better with Rec 709/601 or P3 footage. Color correct first, apply keylight, and then use the resulting alpha channel on the original log-c footage. You’ll find you’ll usually get better results.

File>Automate>Fit Image…
It will constrain an image’s longest edge (keeping aspect ratio) and you can choose “dont enlarge”.
I’d avoid image processor, just create an action that utilized the fit image command anwhatever other processing you need, then use File>Automate>Batch

A doc I watched recently that comes to mind is Truth in 24 II: Every Second Counts. It’s on Netflix Instant right now and it chronicles Audi’s win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans a few years ago.
A narrated doc, it explores the journey of the drivers, the engineering team, the season leading up to the race, and the race itself.

As an alternate, have you tried manually offlining a few of these merged clips in the bin (right-click menu option to make offline) and then relinking? Does that refresh the timeline or no? If not, again you may have that deep rooted issue I mentioned.

1. Do not highlight anything in your bin
2. In the timeline right-click the offending clip and use “Find in Project”Does this highlight anything in the bin? If not then this is a very deep issue with the Premiere Pro file in that it isn’t linking the timeline info to the bin info. No way to repair it except a 3 point match frame edit for the offending areas.
If you’d like to email me your project file (visit my website for contact info) I may be willing to run it through an in-house program I have to “flatten” merged clips back to original source files. This may or may not work in your case.

Canon’s XF format is not smart rendered, so “matching sequence settings” will conform the output to preview render quality mpeg (MPEG2 if I recall correctly) compression. Smart rendering currently only works for uncompressed video, P2/DVCPro, and ProRes with additional support coming for Avid DNxHD with the new version of Premiere in about 2 weeks.
Ideally, you’re looking at a ProRes or DNxHD(MOV container) export to retain quality. The one downside to Premiere and working with most native formats is that you pay the “render tax” during export rather than in the timeline.
In terms of importing to Premiere, the usual is to copy the full card to your drive and then to import within Premiere from the Media Browser panel. I’ve only performed DIT for one Canon 300 shoot, but I recall being just fine without the Canon utility.
