It opens up prefectly in my setup (Same as you described). BTW, the pictures/video are beautiful. Would you share with us the equipment (Video Camera) that you used here? Excellent works. Thanks.

The behavior you described is true once the tracks are landed on the Timeline. However, if you are placing the source on the track, audio and video will be in the corresponding track#. (i.e. V1/A1 V3/A3) Like previous poster says, it is not necessary to be on the same track# but it will be nice for visual organization purposes.

I placed on camera file on top of another and then go to clips, and found the options grayed out.

PPro 1.5, under the Project Setting, Playback Display, is there a setting for displaying max quality? In the past, it has Draft, Medium, High? Or RAM preview? Where are these settings
I found out where to set this, but…
Under Desktop Display mode, if I choose Direct3D, the images are all blurred. If I choose GDI, the blurness is gone but the display is not smooth… looks like verticle streaks!?? Anyone have any idea how I can improve PC display quality? Viewing on TV seems ok.
ANy idea will be appreciated.

Well, thank you folks for all the input. I have been using Prem for years, to make a switch is really a difficult decision. But, aside from Adobe sometimes driving me crazy on their policies, I like Prem Pro. Contrary to what ‘mrbb’ stated in his post, Prem does display things (e.g. filter applied) in Realtime for most effects without me having to render them for preview. (He might have his setting mixed up to render every time?)
Anyway, the main reason for consider upgrade are:
1. PPro’s ability to import flash files (ironically after acquiring Macromedia, PPro 2 does not state it can or not to import swi or swf.)
2. PPro rendered quality is not very clean and vivid! It takes a long time compared to other Rendering Codecs
3. Vegas include: Boris Grafitti Ltd, Boris FX Ltd for Vegas, and Magic Bullet Movie Looks HD50, 5.1-channel AC-3 encoding, Copy-protection tools, Multilangual DVD, Elementary stream import… (Filters…)4. NOW, the competitive upgrade is only $299 for Vegas6 + DVD Architech (After $100 rebate) while PPro 2.0 upgrade is $199!!!!!
I have couple more days to think about!!!
Thanks again folks.

Thank you all… one more question, is the rendering really slow compare to Premiere Pro? Say render out to DVD MPEG2 format of 1hr video, how long will it take, say not many effect applied.

Effects could always be copied and pasted individually. Simply select the effect in the ECW and paste it in another ECW.
What I meant was selective copy of effects from one clip to another. (e.g. one clip might have multiple effects applied, but I only want to copy some and not the others)

Oh, one more, I know it can export to embed PDF video as well as swf files, however, how about import from SWF or flash video?

I think your works are great, just a little point, 150+ MB for web download is a little too much for average users.
