There are several different ways to approach this. If you are talking about short 1-minute videos, I bet you could avoid having to transfer/ship all the raw content. Here is a very manual, but easy to understand approach. Have him disable all graphics and render out a flattened movie file in a high-quality format (Prores 4444, probably 422 is good enough for a web series) - this is your "Clean" version (without graphics) Also render out a movie with all the graphics and everything for your reference (can be less quality, small file - it's just for your reference) some editor choose to burn in timecode to this version, but you probably don't need to - this is your "Dirty" version (with graphics) Dropbox/ google drive/ whatever - get these two files If it's truly a 1-minute video, you can probably "notch" the file by hand drop the Clean version it into PPro onto V1 drop the Dirty version into PPro onto V2 - but turn the visibility off with the track eyeball go through the Clean version and manually add an edit with the blade tool at every edit point. You are just going to find these the good old fashioned manual way - just watch the video. if there are transitions, add a dissolve that is the same length as the original transition. Now you can color correct each individual clip. The transitions you put in there will dissolve the color correction effect between the clips too. Throughout this process, you can always compare to the dirty version by turning the track visibility back on V2 - but be sure it gets turned off before you render. Render out your masterpiece and send it back to the editor He then lays back in the graphics and renders out the final version. Collect Emmy! This is by no means the only way to do it, but possibly the easiest with the least amount of messing about with media management, XMLs and such. Of course, if you really want to go that route, I can explain a few different approaches. Naturally, the manual notching approach only makes sense for very short pieces. If there are tons of edits, it's going to get really old really fast - at that point and XML solution will be essential.
