Another thing you could try would be to use an Attractor placed above the ball that you keyframe the strength of and its position to move the ball around the room.
Take a look at this tutorial by Nick from GreyscaleGorilla to see how the Attractor works.

You could try turning Dynamic to OFF while still keeping the Soft Body tag Enabled, and use a Collider tag on the floor. Then keyframe the movement of your ball around the scene. Not sure this will work but you could give it a shot.

I’ve read that FCS2 should run fine under Lion. The key is you have to have it installed BEFORE you upgrade. Apparently FCS uses some installer called Rosetta that won’t work with Lion, but if FCS is already installed on the hard drive when you upgrade then there’s no need to run the installation package with Rosetta.
I’m hoping this is true because I run FCS2 as well. I’m going to wait on Lion for a few months anyway til most of the bugs get worked out. By then we should know if FCS2 works with Lion or not.

Try going to the Objects window and clicking on the material tag that you have applied to the plane with the man. Change the projection (down in the Attributes tab) from UVW to Frontal.

Nick at greyscalegorilla.com just put up a free ink preset for Trapcode Particular yesterday. You could give that a shot.

I got one of the new Imacs (with the Thunderbolt port) about a month and a half ago, didn’t install Rosetta, and had no problems installing FCS2.

That’s the sad state of affairs here in LA at the moment. I live in Burbank and I would love a job that’s just down the street. For the whopping sum of $15/hour though I don’t think I will be applying for this one. Sadly, one could probably go to a temp service and get assigned to an administrative job in this same company’s office being a file clerk and make equal the amount or greater.

Like you I’m making the switch from FCP to PPro. I’m running it on the new Imac with Thunderbolt that came out about a month or so ago. It hums like a hummingbird. I upgraded the RAM to 12 gigs and have 9 gigs allocated to Premiere when it’s running. It’s very very speedy for renders and is great with realtime playback with different formats in the same timeline.

I’d recommend Walter Biscardi’s tutorial that he just recorded about bringing old fcp projects into PPro.
I tried doing it but ran into an issue. Exported the XML from Final Cut and imported into PPro. I kept getting the following message:
This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type.
After a couple of attempts of doing different things, I finally changed the sequence in my fcp project to DVCPRO HD, saved, exported the XML and PPro imported it correctly.
Then I undid changing the sequence settings back in Final Cut and saved, so my FCP project remains essentially unchanged. My original sequence had been HDV, and I also tried it as a ProRes sequence and that didn’t work either.As a note I was exporting from FCP 6.06 using XML Version 4 going into PPro 5.03. Since I would be editing in PPro with a DVCPRO HD sequence anyway, I figured why not change it beforehand and that seems to have worked.
That box with the Mercury Playback engine is unselectable for me as well. I’m split between thinking it’s working but the only option available so it can’t be changed, or it just isn’t applicable to my system.
