You can (sometimes) simulate motion blur with directional blur in Premiere. Just set it to the orientation of the movement and keyframe it in when the movement starts and out when the movement ends. Maybe this would help?
However, it sounds like you may have some other issue as well. I’m on Premiere CS3 which has an anti-flicker filter in the motion controls, but I don’t think 1.5 has that feature. Seems like when I used Premiere 1.5 several years ago, I always had weird issues like what you describe… maybe it’s time to upgrade?

The HVX is a great choice, but there’s a ton of other options in that range; are there any more specific requirements you have?

You might want to check out the Prelinger Arrchives at the Internet Archive (https://www.archive.org/details/prelinger).
This is a collection of thousands of public domain films (mostly industrial or educational films). You might find something interesting of use to you. You can use the compressed videos that are downloadable for free without restriction from archive.org, or else you’ll have to pay for high-quality versions from Getty Images.

Generally the standard license covers two installations.
You’re technically not supposed to use them at the same time though… the idea is that you’d have one installation at home and one at work, or one on your desktop and one on your laptop.
Volume/extended licensing is a whole different ballgame; I don’t know the details on that.

There’s a bunch of different ways you could do this…
Perhaps Filter/Liquify and then the Pucker or Push Left tools would work for you? Or, Edit/Transform/Warp will give you different points of adjustment that may work like what you saw. You’d probably want to select and copy the arm to a new layer and adjust it independently, and then clone in the layer underneath to fill the gap.

How ’bout the Paramount Mountain logo cut to the real mountain at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark?
As for me, I’ll stick to the invisible edits too.

Occasionally I can get Premiere to import a funky mp4 by changing the file extension from .mp4 to .mov, though this may or may not work in your case.
I believe you can also change the filetype through Quicktime.

Phantom power (also known as +48V) is required by certain kinds of microphones to function. These are generally wired condenser mics without batteries.
If phantom power is turned off on input 1 and your microphone requires it to function, that could be your problem.

You might want to try a solvent like acetone/fingernail polish remover if you haven’t already. I had some stuff on my DVX’s lens once that gave it some rainbow hazing like you described… nothing would take it off except the acetone, and I had polished on it forever with glass cleaner. Didn’t seem to hurt the coating, but it got whatever it was off of there.

In my neck of the woods, HD is still pretty rare, if not nonexistent. Though, it doesn’t surprise me that a rental house would have mostly HD cameras… you can always rent HD cameras to do SD, but not vice versa.
