In Resolve you can apply color correction & FX to the whole track or clip by clip.
In your case it sounds like you want to keep your adjustment to a clip basis. If you want to apply the same correction to the following clip, it is easy enough to copy your nodes and paste them to the new selected clip.HTH,

1 – Place your CTI at the beginning of your clip in your sequence
2 – Match frame (F)
3 – in your source monitor, your original footage should be loaded at the exact same frame than your speed adjusted footage
4 – check the timecode associated with that frameHTH

it might be helpful to know under which operating systems you are having crashes (El Capitan, Yosemite ??), how much RAM do you have in your system? how big your hard drives are? where did you setup your caches/preview folders?

if your problem is a cache issue that is not refreshed (happening after an undo command?), this seems to be a bug with AE 13.6 on Windows. Todd Kopriva from the AE team says they are aware of the problem and are working on a fix.

[Kell Smith] “2) DO your edit on mts -> output files to transcoded format -> import back in for effects? (that would be limited as far as flexibility for creative editing)
“Another option, if you want to avoid having to transcode all your footage, would be to use the Project Manager function in PrP. The idea is that you cut your show in its original camera file format (assuming that your system can handle it) and when you are done with your editing, PrP transcodes automatically just your sequence to a different codec, before you apply your effects. In the Project Manager window, you can select how much handle you want to keep for each clip used in your sequence, which will be handy in the case you still want to do some tweaking after transcoding.
Note: the Project Manager function has been around for a while in PrP, but with various bugs and missing features over different versions. You may want to run a full test before committing to it and make sure it runs the way expected on your system.

Editready is the software I use to accomplish the re-wrapping.

Paul,
I am not sure I understand your question… sorry if I am already talking about things that you know. A video file format is made up of a container (Quicktime, AVI, MXF, MTS,… etc) and a codec (MPEG-2, MPEG-4 (H.264 being a subset), ProRes, etc…) Camera manufacturers traditionally have their own file format (using their own container and optimizing the codec for recording their images). Sony for example uses MXF files on their latest digital cameras.
The idea of re-wrapping in post is to change the way the file format is written in the camera, to a more common container used in editing, like Quicktime (.mov). The codec still stays the same with your file: there is no transcoding but most Mac programs will be able to “understand” that .mov file.
Because MPEG-4 decoding can be computer process intensive, not all computer configurations will be equal as to read such file.I believe Divergent Media has more information on their blog regarding this process.
I hope this helps a little;-)

You may want to consider re-wrapping your XAVC footage instead of transcoding and see if your system can handle it better. The advantage of re-wrapping is that you keep the original camera compression, but you put it in a more standardized container like Quicktime (as far as Premiere Pro is concerned). Transcoding to ProRes will be certainly less demanding on your system, but it is time consuming and take much more space on your hard drive (4-5 times the original file size in my experience). Also in my workflow, I color grade in Resolve, and re-wrapping allowed me to resolve some issues with round-tripping…
For re-wrapping I use EditReady from Divergent Media… very good software and customer service (I don’t get any benefits for saying so;-)
Good luck,

Yes I can look at your clip when it is ready, but it would be better if you upload the original file from your camera… it would be easier for me to tell you what can be done or not… if you send me a clip already processed, it would be hard for me to dissociate what you have done to it from what is the original clip.
