If in fact there is enough video to extend into the transition, then thats a problem – otherwise both things happen when there is not enough or no video to extend. Are using sub-clips maybe?
Try putting each video on it’s own track and then extending the video by dragging it’s edge forward 15 frames and back 15 frames, as appropriate. If that works, then just dissolve up 30 frames on the top track to get the same effect.
If THAT doesn’t work, then PPro thinks there isn’t any video to extend … and so it might be that you are editing sub-clips .. in which case you need to increase the in/out points of the sub-clip or find the clip in the source material and edit with that.

In FCP when you export a 30 minute move in 3-4 minutes you are actually creating a reference movie. Try taking that to a different computer and playing it back. Ha!
Both FCP and Premier Pro export to a large variety of file types, but if you aren’t going to use them, then simply exporting to movie/avi will be the fastest – though it will still take much longer than 3-4 minutes since it’s creating a completely new video and not just a reference video. -
Any reason not to key it in Premiere Pro? If the key is decent you can get great results with it(CS3 anyway). Otherwise – keep it in the native format as long as possible.

HDV will work fine. When you export for DVD from the HDV Project, you should chose a widscreen (16:9) setting. On a standard def DVD player on a Standard def TV you will get a letter box version. With a standard def DVD player on a widescreen TV it should play wide screen.

Reshoot?

How’s that upgrade coming?

Keep it all in HDV 1440×1080. When you create your projects in PPro and AE as HDV projects, the program adjusts the display to 1920×1080 so the jpegs should LOOK right. When you encode for blue-ray, use the presets and the program will make the adjustments (and doesn’t blu-ray actually use the same anamorphic frame as HDV?) But trust the the software – it does this part right.

Project Manager will consolidate your project and delete unused clips and even shorten used clips.
Or
Right Click on the file and chose Make Offline – then you can chose to delete it from the drive.

What kind of capture card are you using – doesn’t it have capture options? PPro only does DVCProHD natively if it’s in the P2 format.

Mpeg-3? Probably not that, as I believe that skipped that number for video (Mpeg2, layer 3 is audio we call MP3). Anyway. No, I don’t know what your software is doing. I have noticed that PPro doesn’t read the audio track of mpegs sometimes. Don’t know why..probably has to do with how the audio is encoded. You can fiddle with the settings of your software to see if a different audio format work (like PCM as apposed to mp3 or uncompressed) – but I’m just guessing.
In NERO, (using Nero Vision, create Movie) you can import and play AVCHD video and then you can export it to MPEG-2 format and chose 1080i60, blah blah blah. And the resulting .mpeg file can be imported into PPro and after PPro indexes it and conforms the audio, it works great. The first 15 frames are screwed up though – which kind of makes sense, but is still a bit of a pain.
