I’ll weigh in here and say that it’s probably a combination of your picture profile settings AND your choice of lens.
I’ve been shooting on some old Canon FD lenses– everyone who sees the footage goes nuts. The older FD glass produces a very organic look. I think part of it is that the camera’s sensor is SO sensitive that you get way more detail than you’re used to resulting in a very digital looking image. The older glass smooths it out a bit, without looking like a digital post effect, or like you just turned the sharpness down.
When it comes to picture profiles, I’ve found it helpful to sit down side by side with a beautiful HD still of a movie I love on a calibrated monitor. I pay special attention to the black level and color intensity.
Using this method, and a little bit of grain added in post, I’ve achieved looks ranging from crisp, high contrast HD styles like you’d see in Casino Royale to more understated, filmic looks like Lethal Weapon.
This camera is beyond capable of the film look- people are underestimating the ridiculousness of the sensor. There’s more control there than you guessed.
I’ve described the camera this way to everyone so far– the FS100 is NOT for run and gun, midrange work. It’s a professional camera for low budget filmmakers who are really into composing their shots.

Yes, I’m running the newest version on Windows 7 x64. My Graphics card is an NVidia 4700

I ended up just re-editing the piece, too.
I agree, it should’ve been locked before this happened, but the other guy didn’t really know the ropes, so to speak…
I would really like for Adobe to incorporate a “take” menu like in Sony Vegas Pro 9, which judging from my experience so far is a far superior piece of software, even if Premiere has a glossier looking interface.
By the same hand, if Sony were to allow an “export clip to FX program” option I would see no reason to ever touch an Adobe editor again.

This turned out to be a Vista issue… ditch desktop composition, and you’re golden.

Yeah, that’s more or less the solution I had in mind- I was just wondering if there was some simple thing I was missing.

Perfect. I feel much better now

That’s what I was guessing… But if not DVD Architect, then which program should I author the final disc in?

So there isn’t any way to see both layers in the window when applying the bezier mask?
How do you apply a traveling matte?
