There is a tick box in the little settings tab (top right) of the AME export settings advanced bottom section. Tick the use rendered media bit (wording may differ) this way what you have rendered should be used in the export. It is odd and shouldn’t require this workaround, but hopefully it gets you on track until one of us works out the true problem… (may be a bug)

I am not sure I follow exactly but you can import a pr project into another one. It brings it in as a folder everything is inside that. If you want to specify some clips in the 1st project put them into a folder(bin) and when you import it you know you just want to keep that one. Or you could lay the shots into a timeline, select the seq icon in the project panel, copy. Close the project, open the new one and paste in the project panel. The timeline and only the clips in that timeline will come into the new project.

Have you tried to dump the render and scrub it before re-rendering?

I’m going to take an educated guess here. These are not the native files from the camera recording. They are files that someone captured/ingested/converted with FCP.
FCP and apple don’t like to share things and they have to make every format into MOV – which is why I guess your problem is FCP capture and not what Pr understands the original .MXF files inside a heap of folders starting with BPAV.
Apple converts the original files into a single MOV and in doing that is uses an FCP/Apple only codec they still call XDCAM (This happens with DVCPROHD too).
Look around other forums/posts for ways to work with what you have got or get the original files and Pr will work as expected. I suspect the original files are probably long gone…

Make sure the timeline is selected before going to File>Export>Tape.
you can’t export say the effects control panel to tape so that is going to grey out the export to tape option.

DVCProHD when natively coming from the camera record is what PPro uses and understands. FCP sadly can’t do this and so it re-wraps it into its own proprietary codec. Unfortunately they call it DVCProHD when its actually an Apple only codec. Sorry but you can’t use it on a PC and you would need FCP on a Mac to get it to work too.
Ask the other editor to convert all the material to ProRes. Then download the ProRes for windows plugin. Then you can cut the material and hopefully not have any quality loss.
Beware that ProRes footage requires a fast PC to run in RT as it will still not be edited natively. You can thank Apple for this runaround.

There does seem to be a problem with Multiplexed MPEG-2 DVD files from CS4 when importing to Encore. So I would avoid it. Just do it with separated video and audio files.
The best part of having the video and audio separated is that if you need to re-export because of a video or audio only adjustment, you just export that part by unticking the audio or video from the output settings and the whole process doesn’t need to render the other = faster render times for re-renders based on adjustments.

I only set the frame size to match the materials – from memory, by opening the New Sequence>General Tab and Setting it to Desktop Mode, then customizing the settings to match the materials. The DV preset is 720×480, but your clips were 720×480 so there was a scaling attempt in the timeline for that extra 6 pixels, somehow it made it go weird.
If you open in CS4 i think you can export the Sequence as an AAF. Then import that into CS3.
– Let me know 🙂
