Hey all,

I've been recording raw video on my 50d, and I'm loving every second of it!
I have a question on my workflow regarding the color grade of the extracted DNGs.

I usually import them as sequence to AE CC and grade them in ACR before import. If the light changes during the extent of the video, the beginning is ok, but the rest need to have its exposure pushed farther.

My question is: after imported into AE, is it possible to return to ACR controls to grade a specific part of my clip? As many times as I need? Or I can only grade it on the import, and then all I have to work with is the Color Controls of AE itself? If it isn't possible, do I need to change program and use Resolve? What is the best time to color grading my clips, using ACR?

Also, if I color correct the video inside AE, do I lose data or is it the same as grading in ACR?
Can someone please suggest the best workflow on a PC using Adobe CC?

Thank you so much for all the help!
