Obnoxious Feature of 2.0
What is the deal with 2.0? I have a bunch of projects here at work that were done on 1.5, and now we have switched to 2.0. Many of them are big projects. I figured 2.0 would open them and that would be it, but instead it goes through this multiple-hour long ritual of recomforming the audio and crap. Why does this need to be done AGAIN? It IS wasting my time. Some of the audio in the project will not even play back until 2.0 finishes its endless process. Thank God we are not too busy here at work lately. Any way around this?

It is usually a good idea to finish projects in the same program you started them in. There are differences in the versions.
If you had imported the project rather than opened it, I believe you would find that the PEK files are created, but not large conformed audio files.

I have yet to go to 2.0 but I’ll give you my insight.
It sounds like you need to make sure your scratch directories are set up the same as your previous projects.
Then your audio, and video previews and renders should (guessing) stay intact.
Of course I could be wrong, but it sounds good!

There’s stuff I don’t like about PP2 but I’m not sure you’re being fair to the program.
There’s a big difference between PP2 and 1.5, I don’t know why you’d have the expectation that it will convert successfully for you old prpject files. Can’t you finish those projects on 1.5 and start from scratch on PP2. I mean the time you’re wasting converting, fixing titles and learning a new program on a job — could be spent actually editing in 1.5 and finishing your projects much faster.
Most NLE apps which go through major updates, could have significant problems importing older projects, not just PP2. These programs aren’t word processors, they now author DVD’s, have heavy duty titling and mixing consoles — how many links to offline and online media files would PP2 or P 1.5 have in a normal half hour program (lots, so lot’s can happen if there’s an import problem on any one link).
Comforming audio is done by most PC NLE programs but PP2’s ability to do it in the background, while you can still be working is great. My version of Edius doesn’t allow that (I have to wait for the waveforms to refresh all the time and can’t work on anything else.)
Anyhow, best of luck, hope you are able to convert successfully, but again, if it’s taking you a long time to correct PP2 import problems, really consider returning to 1.5 (if it’s not to late) to finish.
