1st things 1st. Whack your roommate.
Second, you might get it working again a couple of ways.
Start new project. Import old project and accept entire project. It will import ‘everything’ including bin structures. Find your seq and see if the media is all good.
You can select all affected clips in the project panel and modify them as a group.
Or
Trash preferences by quitting PPro. Relaunch and hold alt shift and cmd. You should see a long launch time to regenerate all plugins media readers etc. The splash screen will no longer have your list of previous opened projects.

Alright. Open the project. Go to preferences under premiere pro.
Select media, the click clean cache.
Then quit premiere pro. Wait a minute for all the bg bits to close and relaunch PPro.
If you see the conforming on the bottom right building with the yellow bar let it finish before operating any further. Shouldn’t take long. Once its done attempt another export.

At least you get to see the “issue” in the timeline now. And that you can export decently with Mercury in Software Mode. The GPU Acceleration forces all colourspace into Linear which can cause some visual problems where blurs etc come into play. Thankfully there appears to be a work around.
However…
The resolution you are outputting to is non standard, perhaps you have found a bug that hasn’t been tested before! Great! Seriously, that’s a good thing. File a bug report to adobe with as much detail regarding clips format codec export seq settings etc so they can replicate it and hopefully get to a fix.

You can begin play at 1x with space or L key then hold down the shift key while tapping the L key to get increments of speed up. Hold the shift key and tap J to speed back the increments. I tend to tap it up in increments so I get it “chip munky” but it is crystal clear to hear all words and can easily make decisions way faster than realtime.
I believe its superior to FCPs options in this regard. But’s just me 🙂

Hi Jim,
Using SD upscaled to 1080 and then pan and scanned is never a good idea, but if this is what you need to do then I suggest instead of outputting a FullHD version and then converting it, try this.
As a test, create a new timeline that matches the dimension specs of your intended final clip. Then add the sequence of the edit to it so it is nested. Then right click on the sequence (as nested clip) and choose to “scale to frame” if this doesn’t fit the dimensions perfectly and I don’t think it will as 16×9 HD doesn’t actually fit to Widescreen SD (as it isn’t true 16×9). So you may need to tweak the scale setting instead.
I think the value for FullHD down to SD is somewhere around 54.5%. Tweak it so it fits properly. 🙂
Then find the area that looked really bad on the original export and find an in point, then hit Cmd+[ to set the work area in and Cmd+] at the playhead position to set the work area out.
Then hit Cmd+M to export. You will see the yellow bar on the bottom left has wrapped around the set work area in and outs and should only render out this small ‘test’ area.
Setup the export settings and Export or Send to the Queue. Let us know whether the result is any better. If so, you can set the export area (from the work area) to fit by zooming the timeline out all the way with the backslash key ‘\’ under backspace. When you see the whole timeline content double click on the current work area to reset the work area to the full length of the “edit”.
Then export again (Cmd+M) and the last settings used will still be there for export. And proceed to export the whole edit this way.
Hope it works out better for you. 🙂

You might want to do a re-install first.
Are disk permissions repaired too?
Worst case scenario would be to run the adobe cleaner tool to remove all files related to CS5.5 install an effectively reinstall from a clean standpoint.

Hey Walter, Yes there is, but you will have to assign your own shortcut key to it.
It is under Audio Gain (I have assigned Shift+G) for me and select all the audio clips I want to lift and hit my shortcut. Alternatively you can right click on the selected clips and choose audio gain… from the options listed.
There are quite a lot of options in the Audio Gain Dialog Box, check them out.
The Gain level affects the scale of the waveform seen in the timeline too. It’s actually very good and IMHO better than that of FCPs use of the limited lift of the levels band which would cap at 12dB from memory.
This function doesn’t affect the levels band, that still reads as 0 and you can manipulate it asthough the gain added/removed is a level of 0 on the levels band. 🙂
Another great thing about it is that when you open the Audio Gain,,, box at the bottom of the window the loudest peak level of the selected clip/s is shown so you can see the amount of gain you have before that peak may become distorted. Adding the Dynamics Effect to limit the levels will keep anything from distorting.
PPro has always had great audio control and effects are easy to understand and manipulate.
Hope this helps.

The Quadro Card will only help playback when effects are used on clips not help playback a clip without clips, all that is done with the CPU and HDD speeds. Id be looking there. Uncompressed requires some very quick CPU and HDD read write speeds.
Post your Computer Specs please.

What are your clips audio properties and then what are the sequences audio properties?
Are they the same kHz rate?
If there is a disparity between them this can cause progressively worsening audio sync slip.
To fix this you want to work in a sequence with the same audio kHz rate as the clips.
Frame rates can also create issues if there is a mismatch there too.
