I imported a finished project from FCP with around 50 cuts from a single original footage. The thing is a lot of the cuts in Color 1.0.4 would link to different parts of the footage (not the parts I had in FCP). What's wrong? What can I do?

Actually you don't have to bake the sequences.
Just media manage the sequence with the following settings:
Media: use existing
Delete unused unticked
Base media on existing file names
Project: Duplicate selected sequence ticked
Include noactive multiclip angles UNTICKED

You know, I can't understand how to go about this. I opened the original project in FCP, the only things I see unticked/ticked are in the master clip column. So, do I delete all the clips that are unticked? What do you mean by base media on existing file names? The file names of all clips have remained unchanged since I started the project. What are noactive multiclip angles UNTICKED? I'm sorry about all these questions I have only began to use FCP suite entensively. Thank you.

Bernardo,
I have just had this same problem with a multiclip sequence
I fixed it using Marcus' suggestion
In the browser right click on the sequence and go down to media manager which I believe is the 4th one down the list click on it and wait for it to build a list of used media and the media manager opens
and this is how it should look
click OK when done
It will bring up a window with a place to save your new project
name and save

David, I sent the sequence from FCP. The sequence is only 2 and a half minutes long consisting of about 50 clips. Before sending it to Color 1.0.4, I media manage the sequence according to the list above. But when I get it in Color 1.0.4, like half of the clips don't link to the exact clips assigned in FCP. Actually, they link to the beginning of the master footage I cut the main clips from. I have no problem with importing the whole QuickTime movie generated from the sequence but this does not help me with what I want to do which is to color grade most if not all the clips to achieve something more atmospheric than the flat look that the sequence has right now.
