When I used Premiere to export the edit to After Effects, I noticed that it was clever about the use of source clips, and re-used the same source clips multiple times in the AE timeline. Â As I was editing a 'drama' that had lots of A/B cutting between the same clips, this meant that on average only two or three source clips needed to be graded for every 10 layers in the timeline.
So I precomped each piece of source media and replaced the source files in the 'master' timeline with the precomps. Â Then I did all the grading / pan scan zooming / stabilisation in the precomps, rather than the "master" timeline. Â This saved lots of time, I was working with about 40ish precomps instead of several hundred layers.
But still, I started this thread because I wasn't happy with the workflow and I'm looking forward to playing around with speed grade. Â Glad to know it's promising.
