I would go all in one. My only problem I have been having with premiere is that it loses the link to the media ever time I click off of the timeline. Very annoying and very time consuming. Don't know why it happens but it has been doing that for a majority of my students as well. Anyone know why????, the media is on the dang desktop...but it still randomly loses clips all of the time.

So I just got handed off a drive with an edit in premiere and maybe 30 clips in the timeline that need to be keyed and color corrected. I'm going to do the "replace clip with AE comp" so the projects are linked for the editor. Supposedly it is picture locked with "possible minor edits to come". I've seen how "minor" some of those edits can be, so I'm a bit wary of assuming lock at this point.

Now logistically, I can either select every clip that needs keying, and import the whole thing at once as a single AE comp running underneath the rest of the clips, or I can painstakingly create a new AE comp for all 30 clips individually, inside a master project. If there is a massive edit this would make things a bit easier.

I'm leaning towards importing the whole chunk of footage as a single comp, because then all the keying settings and color correct setting are in the same place. It's also much faster. Any reason I should go the other route? Or gotchas I should look out for?
Thanks
