Version 5.5.2. No error shows, just the spinning beach ball, then the freezeup. Using media browser, when I double-click the P2 disk image, the individual clips show up as thumbnails, so it’s already navigated there, but it locks up as soon as I try to select and import one.

Thanks, Vince; but that doesn’t work, since the MXF files need conversion to compatible media. It looks like this has to happen as a P2 import through the media browser. It freezes as soon as I try to import through there.

You must reconcile the quality considerations against the technical capacity. My best solution when facing this quandary is to segment the long show onto multiple disks of uniform highest possible quality and package the show as a multi-disk set, a boxed presentation.

You could try feathering the edges of the masks and color-correcting the two fx clips to the one you choose as standard.

The good news is that if you do the style in PS, it DOES appear in PP in CS5 versions, and is easily edited directly by right from the timeline.

I tried the PP title tool and found it was pretty much WYSIWYG sequence/composer. You might need to trash prefs and relaunch. (This was all on a MacPro 8-core/Lion CS5 versions.) As to importing Photshop, layer styles have never translated into any NLE I’ve ever used. If you want to “bake in” a style, the most reliable way is to copy the type layer, rasterize the copy, then merge that down to an empty layer for import. I’ve found this works for Avid, FCP, and PP. The only problem is that if the client changes his mind about a style, you have to rebuild and remerge. I’ve found it’s quicker to just do the design to bare type in PS and and the shadow or other dressing in the NLE. Hope this helps.
