“I think licensing AVC-Intra would be a decent solution. It’s 10bit, I-frame and currently has 50 and 100 mb variations, with supposedly more coming (AVC-Ultra).”
PPro already supports AVC-Intra, both import and export. So this should be feasible. You can do it now by bringing everything into Media Encoder and doing a batch encode, and Adobe’s upcoming Prelude app will give you the option of encoding to another format on import.
The only downside, is it currently only supports HD video sizes.

You can do that now actually. It is pretty cool. It’s not as fluid as scrubbing the timecode or jog wheel though, since you have to repeatedly take your finger off the wheel and reposition it so you can scroll it again.

What happened to the jog wheels below the monitors?? Hopefully there’s still a way to slowly scrub through a clip.
Other than that I really like it, especially the new audio meters. The old ones were way too small and basic.

I really like the new audio level meters. In previous versions they always seemed way too small to be really useful. These look like they were taken right out of Audition!

The idea of Apple changing a pro oriented product to target more mainstream users sounds crazy- but then, Appleinsider has been right about this sort of thing before…

That source window method for doing slip edits worked really well! I’ll have to remember that.
JKL in the trim window WOULD make things easier. Hopefully in CS6…

I’m about the biggest Premiere Pro supporter there is, and I’m glad it’s finally being taken seriously- but even I have to confess…
That video was GOD AWFUL. Couldn’t they at least change the color of the background every once in a while? 😉
This one about Act of Valor, on the other hand, was pretty cool. I didn’t know they used Premiere Pro for this. (It was offlined in Avid first, then finished in PPro and AE)

“Not to mention the new lightroom 4 with its video capabilities including trimming and some color correction.”
Unless it’s completely non-destructive, I don’t think I’d want to do color correction on individual clips before bringing them into PPro and seeing how they flow together in a sequence. What if the clip you tweaked in lightroom doesn’t match up to another one that you really wanted to use right after it? Or what if you spend a somewhat significant amount of time tweaking a group of clips and when you get them into to the edit you change your mind and decide not to use them?
All that aside- after reading about Prelude, watching a demo of Speedgrade, and remembering that Wes Plate is now at Adobe, I’m starting to think CS6 will cause quite a stir…

First off, I do know of at least one feature film that was shown in theatres that was edited with Premiere Pro- It’s called Dust to Glory. It’s a documentary by Dana Brown about the Baja 1000 race.
As for why it’s not being used for more visible stuff, I think the fact that there’s a thread THIS LONG on the Cow’s Premiere Pro forum about what it is that’s keeping PPro from being used to edit feature films is proof that the day is getting closer.
After all, before CS5 and the FCPX debacle, all of the serious pro editors who are able to give good explanations for that question wouldn’t have even seen this thread- they’d all be in the FCP forum…

Yes, sometimes it was a very expensive rug that got yanked. *COUGH* Shake *COUGH*
