The main differences between using HDV split vs premiere pro to ingest HDV material is that currently premiere pro doesn’t show the signal in the capture window like DV. CS5 started to scene detect HDV like HDV split always has.
As for quality the HDV signal is exactly what is on tape. So there is no gain or loss of quality with either ingest.
Either method is fine. Personally since CS5 scene detect with HDV capture I don’t use HDV split anymore.

I too have experienced this phenomenon. I believe it to be something in some external hard drives that for a moment enter a “sleep” mode during very long renders.
Make sure the power settings for the mac are set to not sleep the hard drives. That slight loss in power is enough to confuse AME and cancel the render.
For some odd reason this is not an issue during the day. It seems to be a night thing.
Win7 had similar power saver settings too. Internal drives don’t seem to be affected by this power dip…
Good luck. – JB

Yes its different to CS3, in fact we all had to get used to it in CS4 when it was first introduced for more accurate 3 & 4 point editing in the timeline.
There are some little things that aren’t obvious about the track active workflow. You can de/activate all video tracks by holding shift while selecting a track name. Same for audio. When no tracks are active copy and paste work as expected where paste lands on the dame track as it came from.
Having specific active tracks means there is control over trim and extend edit points to CTI. This is such an amazing feature once you get used to it within a track based editing workfflow. Transitions move with the edit points and overlay tracks are unaffected.
Keep playing with the tracks active and deactivate states and you won’t remember CS3 being faster.
Good luck. – JB

Have you set export to a different size or hit the tick box for Maximum Quality? That will make an edit take way longer.

I have a feeling there has been a misunderstanding of how to use the time remapping feature at the sequence “clip” level.
The key frames themselves don’t affect speed. Set the points at the start and end of where you want to affect speed and then grab the band (line) between the key frames. Moving it up or down affects the speed.

If you are using CS5 then you can drag the media file over the new item icon (at the bottom of the project panel) for a new sequence to be made with matching settings of the media you are using. Saves the trouble of finding the “right” sequence settings manually. 🙂

you can always lock tracks and they aren’t affected, but this process is usually used at the 1st pass and 2nd pass stages before a mix is being put in place. Everyone works a bit differently 🙂
