Frequently Asked Questions > Color-correction of FCP Projects FAQ > Do you color-correct the handles?
We only color-correct what gets laid off to tape. If you need to have handles for possible additional editing then you must create a "selects sequence" by media managing the project to create new files with the appropriate handles, then import those files and place them on a the "selects sequence" timeline. Export an uncompressed 10bit quicktime for color-correction.
Once the video has been color-corrected it will be delivered to you in the same format it was received as self-contained quicktime. You must then export subclips that match the original clips in order to use the "reconnect media" command in FCP.
