MC 6 has some known issues with long quicktime exports. So, I cannot give you a fix without making you change your workflow a bit unfortunately.
If you’re using MXF media (not AMA) then export a quicktime reference movie. This will be a much faster export and will be 100% quality to your edit. The resulting quicktime can be imported into Sorenson Squeeze (or any other encoding app) to create the proper H264 that you desire.
If aren’t using MXF media (such as AMA files) Then you will need to create a video mix down of your timeline first. To do this, clear your in/out marks on the sequence, and highlight all tracks. Then SPECIAL > Video Mixdown. If you wish you can also do an Audio Mixdown in the same fashion, just SPECIAL > Audio Mixdown.
These mixdowns are full quality MXF versions of your edit. You can then create a new sequence containing only the video/audio mix downs. Doing a quicktime reference movie will work and will be super fast (about 3-5 seconds). You can then, once again, import this quicktime reference movie into any compression software.

I heard that 10.8 will take AVCHD folders and treat them as “packages” — meaning you cannot view inside the packages unless you right-click > show package contents.
If this is true then this has implications for all NLEs I… and I don’t know if there is a function to turn it off. Whoever has 10.8 installed it would be great to test/verify or debunk this.

I completed a show last year where I was constantly swiching between MC 5.5 and 6, and didn’t very minimal issues. Now I am working on Symphony 6 and my coworkers are still on MC 5.5 and we don’t have any issues.
That being said, I never try to open their “project,” only their bins, and they open just fine.

You mean the [ and ] buttons… to nudge something 1-frame left or right ? That is the , and . in Avid.

If you figure out a way to download the SWF I’ll do the rest.
-
First go to the “composer” settings > FF/REW settings
checkmark “stop at head frames” and also “ignore track selectors”
Then in your keyboard settings map “rewind” and “fast forward” to whatever keys want (I have min at up and down arrows) … voila. Now you have FCP-style back and forth.

Post the SWF file to download and I’ll do it. It will only take 1-2 minutes.
What resolution/framerate do you need?

Is this 1 SWF the only file you need?

You can download a 30 day of after effects for free. As far as I know this is the only way that works without glitches, since Adobe owns the SWF format.
