When I say portability, i am not tailing about taking the project home with you, I am talking about taking only the USED footage from the timeline, conformed in to a common format/frame rate that will be easier for color correction applications to understand and deal with, and it will not involve sending absolutely every last piece of shot media.

Believe me, that is my NUMBER ONE request to Adobe moving forward. They have given us a tremendous tool with native editing to get going faster.

Now at the end of the process, I want to conform just my timeline, ala Transcode / Conform in Avid, and have that finished timeline all in the codec of my choice with the handles of my choice. Now I at the end of the project I have a clean timeline all conformed and I can hand that off for further processing, to another shop / editor or at the very least I have it in archive so if we need to make any tweaks, I have one fully conformed timeline.

THAT is the finishing step we need. Avid is pretty close, but it sounds like it will take some serious re-writing of the database or at least making it easier to break all the links to the original media at the end of the process.

Thanks for the kind words Jeremy.
