actually, ROC's delivery time was just about right. I was color correcting and fixing here and there at the same time.. as a parallel process though, its pretty tricky. Of course the edit was locked, but we did squeeze in a couple of edit improvements.
The only problem was today. Somewhere between the final edit that I sent ROC and importing the final audio mix into AE the start time for the entire project shifted.. complicating the situation is that there is no "REAL" sound to line up with... and for some reason AE waveform seemed to be "off" so I couldnt line up by eye.. had to be by ear and eye..
