Yes, I agree, CS4 crashes MUCH MORE than CS3 ever did. My system was built by an expert, and I have a lot of money in it … 4TB, plus 1TB for backup… plus an external Seagate 2TB backup drive.
I have a feeling that CS5 will be a big improvement, so I would not personally consider FCP just yet … it has its problems too.
Even with the occasional crash, I am beginning to like Premiere and all of the rest of the CS4 package. I am a former “Edit” user, and it took me a while to get cozy with Premiere.
I have seen NLE’s come and go over the past several years, but Adobe and Apple both have deep pockets … they’re not going anywhere.

Depending upon how large your hard drive is, and how much space your project is taking on that hard drive, defraging every day is generally not necessary. Once a week should do it in most cases. Defraging is like moving couches around in a room. If you have a very large room, and just a few couches, then those couches can be moved very easily. Defraging daily would not help your system’s performance significantly.

I have found that rebooting every 2 to 3 hours eliminates 90% of crashes.

You’ll have to toss it in the trash . . I gave mine to a local university.
My Adobe CS4 has the Matrox Axio card . . . and I love it.

The remedy for this is to reboot your computer every 3 hours.

There is a long list of supported file formats for CS4, both video and audio. You could always use the capture window, and import that way.
Sorry I cannot be of more help. You may need to get someone to come to your edit suite personally, and check your situation out.

With the info you’ve given us, there should be no problems. You’ve imported via Clip Browser I asssume? Codec is MP4. Have you gotten as far as getting your clips on the hard drive?

Nick,
You can do that in After Effects. -
Could you re-phrase your question?
Did you mean Bars and Tone?
