Lossless compression / Magic Bullet in Adobe Premiere Pro

Currently I have a pretty old video card, Matrox RT2000, I have to capture all my footage under a windows 2000 boot, then boot up in XP to edit in Premiere Pro (no support for the native plugins of the card/tv output = sigh), I'm in no situation to upgrade my video card at the moment.

I'm in the begining stages of learning color corection. I'm trying to figure out what should I do in what steps regarding color correcting.

Should I edit my projects, then export to a lossless format, then reimport the lossless project to do color correcting scene by scene using Magic Bullet Colorista and Editors, and then reexport lossless to avi then encode to DVD MPEG2 with TMPENC.

Or should I just edit my project, same a copy as a new file, apply the color correction and frameserve to TMPENC, forgetting about the lossless process.

If I am doing the lossless route, what is the best lossless codec to use?

Sorry for so many questions, one final thing, should I use Magic Bullet Colorista first, or Editors first, any benefit to doing one before the other.

Thanks,

I figured it would be better to cc scenes, then have to re-cc every little edit/frame, say three of four shots in a row need the same settings, editing a long project on every single edit would take up a ridiculous amount of time. Any idea of the best lossless codec to use?
 
An easier way to do it is to create nested sequences. For example edit scene 1 on one sequence, create a new sequence and edit scene 2, then finally create a master sequence and drop sequence 1, 2, 3... into it and apply the effects on those sequences instead of the individual cuts.
 
I just got Adobe Premiere Pro, I've been editing on Premiere 6.5 for years, I guess I have a lot of learning to do. Thanks. But if I were using lossless, say I wanted to export for alteration in After Effects, which lossless compression codec should I use?
 
Actually, you can just color correct one clip, and then copy and paste the filter from the original clip, onto the other clips of that particular scene. That's how I've done it.
