We recently upgraded from CS4 to CS5 and from Leopard to Snow Leopard. The biggest issue was that of updating plugins (or not, as the case may be) to work in a 64-bit environment. Other than that, it’s been a pretty smooth transition, really. The added RAM overhead in CS5/Snow Leopard was the biggest draw for us. I’d say go ahead, but perhaps keep an install of CS4 on your computer for backwards compatibility with older projects and for those projects you want to use 32 bit plugins on.

There’s a nice script available called “Ease and Whizz” that extends your easing options somewhat as well.

My machine at work has After Effects CS4 and Production Premium CS5 installed (with AE CS5) and I haven’t had any issues, but that’s just one program from CS4. Not sure how two full installs side-by-side would behave, to be honest.

You could motion track the shot, paint out the offending tape and apply the tracking data to your paint layer. Depends on how much the talent is moving around, I guess.
You could duplicate your footage layer, mask out a “replacement” part of the shirt without tape on it and track that into your original footage – a patch of sorts.
How long is the shot? Maybe you can just animate the patch without tracking.

Well, at the most basic level, I would bring the footage and the still into a comp, then use a mask to isolate the mouth in the footage. Place it on the still and use some feathering and colour correction until you get a look you like.
Or is this supposed to look realistic? 😉

Hey Chris:
No, unfortunately. That was one of the first things I tried, but it didn’t make any difference.

Thanks for checking – I know I’m not going crazy, then… 😉
Seems the problem extends to the colour picker for text as well. I filed a bug report with Adobe.
Cheers,

Hey Erik:
Thanks very much for checking – I guess that potentially narrows it down to a Mac OSX version issue.
Cheers!

Not 100% sure I understand the effect you’re talking about, but for random, jittery camera moves, you can parent the camera to a 3D null, then apply a wiggle expression to the position (and rotation, if you like) of the null. For more control, you can add a slider control to the null to adjust the amount of wiggle. There are tutorials for this sort of thing at videocopilot.net and elsewhere.
As for the slowmotion aspect, I guess you could play around with timewarp to speed up/slow down your footage.

Separate your audio and video to different layers, and only time stretch the video?
