Hey there,
I'm a little late to this topic but got here through a Google.
I think I'm having a similar issue - or will be. I'm trying to set up this project properly and I think that I'm following what you're saying..
I have a feature documentary I'm grading in color that was sent to me as multiple uncompressed HD video files. This means the dissolves are baked in. I've been trying to figure out how to tackle this as I'm manually making the cuts in FCP before I send to color - and I didn't previously think about Clip A being one shot, Clip B being the dissolve between the two, and Clip C being the second shot - and keyframing one grade to another during clip B. Is this the best way for me to set up this project in your opinion?
Thanks.
