Carl – I (and others) made it very clear by my own example that an invisible layer could or would be of use to me. You persist in a manic ilogical rant decrying the feature as if it was the only feature in the new release. Why would you even try and put a percentage of uselessness on it.
It obviously is such a show stopper for you, you do not have to use it.
I am starting to believe this is a send up – its too weird to be a genuine user post.

Goodbye Carl (We all hope your medication will make you better soon)

In PremPro 1.5 I had an invisible layer in effect. I made it in AE from a Black layer with 0% opacity and rendered it out as a Lossless Alpha (avi). – 30 seconds Duration
This was available for me to use in any project I wanted to import it to.
Its original purpose was to carry any effects that would work with it eg a lens flare or a shape or especially DVdate. I used the Invisible avi on its own track and could turn it on and off at will while editing. It saved rendering time and meant I did not overload the clip with effects during the edit. I also found I could use it to copy the effects from it clip back to aanother clip(in the ECW window)when required at the end of the edit. I could also split screen with it and make quick RT adjustments. In fact it has uses I still not have discovered or utilised yet.
I have not loaded PremPro 2 yet but I am sure I will find the feature useful for something….

Right click on clip – Speed/Duration (type in 80%)
-
Its called ‘DVdate’
Do a search for the link. eg “dvdate plug in”
-
Why not continue cutting it in FCP for the experience.

Or you could track down ‘DVdate’ – plugin for PremPro and this will do what you want also very cheaply and efficiently.

Use the facility already available in PremPro to make a customised Countdown leader and use motion ( scale / position)to set it where you want in the frame.
You can composite it many ways with the tools available.
I made an ID board with a countdown leader, grey scale & bars that I use for all my broadcast masters.

Seems like it Steven but I can not see what it would be (google toolbar pop up killer ????) but why does it not affect other sites.
