Updating a previously graded FCP7 project - most efficient way?

I have a 24-min video that was finished in Color a while ago. Recently I went in and made a few changes - extended some clips, cut out some sections, etc. Of course - I could not do it in the timeline that had been sent back from Color, so all the edits were done in an ungraded timeline, where all the clips are still referencing original media.

Now, the question is, what is the most efficient way to update this project with respect to color correction? Do I have to assemble all the new additions, export them to Color and grade them separately and bring them back? Or is there a way of conforming the old graded cut and the new ungraded cut?

thanks

RTF...aw, it's not worth it.

Cool that you found it on your own. You get big props for that.

You should still have your original color project file. Reopening that should give you your old grades (but not with the new clips) if I understand your problem correctly.

The problem with the lost grades, did you re-edit your original sent to color sequence? And exported an XML file of that to use in color's reconform?

Or did you make a copy of the original sequence in FCP and did you export an XML of that?
