Color Correction can be keyframed in mc and symphony but I've never bothered with it and don't know anybody that does. Not all the parameters are keyframable, like curves IIRC, and it's still faster to add an edit and switch one side to src segment and use a dissolve. I'd be interested in hearing when someone has found it really beneficial and faster to use keyframes in the CC on avid. Not to mention I've heard that it is because of this keyframing feature they broke the master clip relational color correction. I've also heard that the keyframing CC was a step in the direction of better keyframable masking like power window but so far that has not materialized.
