Have a multiclip sequence, from 2 camera shoot that I need to adjust; but when I tried loading multiclip sequence into color, edit and send back to FCP, it didn't recognize the clips.
What's the best workflow for doing this?
Is there anyway to correct an edited multiclip.... after editing?

Hi David,
The manual is pretty good at explaining what needs to be done to a sequence before sending it to Color. It's always been a bit weird because it's never integrated properly into the whole suite completely.
To simplify it a little, basically you need to either breakout or consolidate any nests, collapse any Multiclips and flatten any composites. Also make sure that they are all in a single format type like ProRes422. Also check any file/clip names to make sure they don't have any '/' or '&' etc.
That way it goes back and forth prettymuch without a glitch.

Ok, I guess I had overlooked the collapsing multiclip setting. Bummers.... it took a couple hours to render a sequence yesterday, not I have to do it again! Least it should work properly now! Thank you!
Shouldn't you be able to pull the FCS render file back up from the previously saved location?
I have tried your suggestion Mr Pi.... can't seem to figure this out. Guess it isn't a real biggy. One of my cameras was a little dark. I tried opening the clip alone in color, that didn't work.
I will do a little more reviewing. These clips were captured direct from cameras.... and are roughly 45 minutes each.
