The 3-4 frame dissolves are standard “soft cuts”, as Peter notes.
And do be careful about matching action, not “crossing the line”, and maintaining color and exposure balance. It’s very often the little things that add up to good visuals.

OK, a really basic question first. Are you cutting on action? And if so, is the action matching? And is the color and exposure balance matching?
Also, many movies (features) tend toward “soft cuts”, which are very short (3-4 frame) dissolves, rather than literal cuts. It’s been that way for a long time.

If you’re not going to elevate to avoid the lights, you’re going to have flare. As others said, make it part of the overall image. And the poster who suggested some front light on your subject was bang-on. Right now the cyclist is very dark.
Oh, and it’s the spiking (vertical smear) that really mucks up the picture, not the flare. Flares I can live with as a compositional element. Spikes, not so much.

Elevate your camera so you are not shooting up into the lights.

Sending an SD image sequence would mean close to a 100 MB per second file size. The original poster was looking for something far smaller.
I’d send something too large for their file size restrictions myself, if it was to be modified (cleanly) after transfer, though…

Can you export your AE project (not a render from the project) and bring that project into your PPro project? (I know CS3 does that.) That way, you’re only doing a render at the end.
I can’t tell from your original post if this was something you’d tried. Might be worth a shot.
