Exporting for Color

I media managed my footage. Everything exported correctly to color except for one sequence. I made a movie file and that imported. But I don't want to re-slice everything for color. It was a multi-camera sports shoot with a lot of cuts.
Is there any troubleshooting I can look for to export properly into color from my original sequence?

I shot on DVC Pro HD and Exported as DVC Pro HD Movie.
After slicing the Baked movie, will recompressing it again ruin some of the quality? Also, what is the problem? Why won't it import into color?

I copied the original sequence into a new sequence.
There seems to have been too many video rows. Copying eliminated those and I can now use the original sequence.

How many did you have? I've had four video tracks without issues so far. Just curious what it took for you to have the issues as Color doesn't have all that many problems with multiple tracks of video. Makes grading a pain, but it can be done.

I had 7 video tracks. It was easier to slip in the video rather than watch the choppy, stop and go, HD multi-clip. Was moving things around and ended up with 11 lines of video tracks.
Then got it all down to one time line. Deleted the remaining tracks but the other ten empty video tracks remained.
Either the video didn't pull into color - even though I saw it in there - or it looked at all 11 tracks and the bottom track was so thin I couldn't see the timeline.
Eliminating the empty video tracks fixed the problem whether it was allowing the video to be exported into color or allowing the timeline to be seen.
I'm such a hack, but i'm good at analyzing and fixing things. Probably would be better if I just read the manual!

Its well worth the time invested, with this application in particular.
There was NO manual with Final Touch which I need not remind those who have been with the app for more than a couple of years. And, of course, no on-line resources. What we would have given...

I still don't like working with more than a track or two if possible in Color. It's just easier to navigate the timeline, and see grades beneath each clip etc... or multiple grades even.
