well the client wants a few changes now. I removed the cut-away shot but now I need to extend my original clip another 5 seconds. Is there anyway to avoid having to send a whole new sequence to Color just to correct one clip?

yeah, save the grade from the original clip, send just the new clip to color and apply the correction.
then fix the sequence in fcp.
or if the new sequence is the same number of clips, you can send the entire new sequence to color, import the corrections of the old sequence, render the whole thing out and send to fcp.

Thanks Paul, I went ahead and sent the entire sequence back to color and applied the original grade. Your suggestion to send just the clip didn't work, only the sequence was an option. Does 1.5 allow individual clips to be sent from FCP?

[Joseph Owens]"Why not just render that shot from your original COLOR proj but with a 5 second handle? "
Ah, nice of me to repeat what you already suggested! :-)

Go back into Color.
Set your Handles to 6 seconds.
Select that one clip and re-render it.
This will add 6 seconds to the head and tail of your shot.
Quit Color and go to FCP. You now have the same shot with 6 seconds of handles on either end.
