Hey Jim,
That's what I ended up doing. It worked perfectly, I was able to make my Color Corrections and then bring it back to Premiere and then send it off to Encoder.
I do want to try the other suggestion that reToolednet (?) made and [uncheck default scale to frame size] option as well. But what both of you suggested works perfectly.
Thank you both so much for taking time out of your day to provide me with assistance. It's most appreciated. I hope I can return the favor.
Jake
