Invest in lenses that have an aperture ring (older lenses do). This limitation is on ALL DSLRs.. not just Nikon. You can change exposure compensation while in live view top.. right side).
Frame rates… don’t be greedy. You have all the standard ones you need including 60p for overcrank. If you want more than that… you’re going to have to step outside a DSLR and invest in a variable frame rate camera (oh and the ones that go much over 60 while still recording HD cost about 40X what you just spent).
Not knocking you… just trying to point out that your gripes are not unique to this camera (which I do own) and are unrealistic at this price point.

To be clear…. we have multiple ways for clients to see. Including several online methods. I’ve recently been moving most of our stuff to Vimeo due to its more favorable IP rights. I do this as its player works on iPhone and Droid at this point for on the go viewing.

DONT mix in one timeline.
Compress each with best settings for each
Then in DVD Studio Pro use a story to jump from one to the next. The hardware player will adjust on the fly.

Yes, if you apply a layer style or double click a layer, you’ll see advanced blending near the top. Very powerful (a little obtuse). Lots of tuts on web.

There are new brushes in CS5 including Dynamic ones. Also look at brush settings and see if any shape dynamics are on.
Selections haven’t changes much. Do check your memory settings and follow Photoshop’s recommendations in the control panel

Nope. Just convert your footage using compressor, streamclip, grinder, cineform

I’d recommend you pick up the book and From Still to Motion to learn the whole process. You don’t choose DSLR because it’s easy (or cheap). Camera body ends up being only 10-25% of cost for whole rig.

Your merging tech limitations.
DSLR cameras typically have between 5 and 20 minute record time limitations depending on manufacturer.
Overheating rarely happens when using fast memory cards and a normal video workflow. Cameras CAN overhear, I just don’t personally experience it often.
