Render original files vs. edits

Ok, hopefully this is just something silly I have overlooked on my part. I imported a sequence into Color from FCP and tested some looks. When I rendered the clips, it rendered copies of the complete original files instead of rendering just the marked IN and OUT timecodes from the original file. If I'm using a two second edit from a 45 second take it renders the 45 second take instead of just the second edit.

Is there a setting that I'm missing in Color or is it how I'm importing the sequence from FCP? Should they all be independent clips in FCP?

Thanks for any help in advance!

are there speed changes on these clips? if so, Color will render the entire clip.

No - there are no speed changes in the clips. I've rendered any time-altered clips in either Shake or Motion. Any freeze-frame clips are rendered as well.

If I have two two-second clips from the same original file it also renders the original file twice when I render out of Color.

Not really sure what to tel you on that one then. We don't have any issues with Color rendering entire clips from our timelines. It only renders true In to Out as marked.

Speed clips do create this very issue, but if you have already pre-baked in your speed changes, then you should be good to go.
