Hello Everybody

I’m currently editing a music video, which basically consists of lots of different shots of the same song which now have been cut together in Final Cut Pro. Now I need to perform some post work on them (color correction, roto-splining, …) for which I want to take nuke. How would you manage that? Do you export each cut individually, create a nuke project for each one, render each one out and bring it back to final cut pro? Or is there a better way (I hope so)?

Another thing I was thinking about is working with just one nuke project and multiple read and write nodes – but then I still need to export all the sequences individually. We’re talking about 20 to 30 cuts.

I think that some things like color correction can be done on the whole film. In this case, do you export the final project to Nuke once more and then render out the final image?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Remo
