If I recall correctly, the Quicktime encoder that PPro uses cannot produce anamorphic files. You will need to export to an intermediate format and use QuickTime Pro to get an anamorphic file.

Alternatively, export using square pixels and a correspondingly wider frame.

You can right-click on a clip in the Project Panel and tell PPro to interpret the clip differently.

Export to AAF is only available on the Windows platform in CS4.

Try exporting to an EDL.

Can your friend reproducse the problem in a new project?

[Danny Winn] “should it?”

Absolutely, yes.

If you create a new project can you capture using the camcorder?

The clips go into the currently selected bin, unless I don’t understand what you’re doing.

You will also find links to many free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.
