Thanks Mike and Kevin. We have two creative editors (FCP) at Jam and I could ask them to use the media manager to parse the source media. I also get work from out of house so I am wondering aloud if there is an emerging protocol specifically for this for colorists. Much like editorial specs for film dailies only now colorist specs for post-edit media.
Thanks Sascha. It seems we are going to grade the selects with handles and over cut the SD version. So I will probably just build a default timeline and grade in c mode. Our finisher will in essence re edit in 23.98.
