Todd wasn’t speaking of post-render, he was talking about immediately after audio is imported, when Premiere conforms the audio file and indexes it. You can see the yellow progress bar down on the lower right corner of the PPro window.
It might be helpful to know the type of audio recording device plus the camera model, as well as the sample rate.

RAM modules can also cause unexpected shutdowns. We were experiencing increasingly frequent lock-ups, then shutdowns on one of our edit PC’s. I eventually got around to running MemTest, and saw that one of our DIMM’s was showing lots of errors. Now, with 24 GB of RAM, it took MemTest a few days to do a thorough test, but the errors started showing early in the test phase. Replaced all DIMM’s just to be sure. Haven’t had a shutdown since.

Back before Serious Magic was acquired by Adobe, we used their Ultra product very successfully to key a glass of water. Neither Keylight nor Primatte were able to do it successfully.
Now that Ultra is a part of the CS5+ suite, you might want to give it a try before any roto in AE. Certainly worth a shot.

WE recei8ved footage from a Tricaster a few months ago, and had to contact NewTek for the codecs, which they readily sent.

Most of our clients that we shoot interviews for require a paper transcript of interviews. You can either have the transcription service note the timecode, or do that yourself. Makes it easy to locate specific portions of the interview, and is a whole lot more accurate than the speech analysis function. Accurate computer based speech analysis and transcription requires much more than Adobe would be able to include in Premiere and keep the cost as it is. It also requires training to each individual voice, which the module doesn’t provide for.

OK, this is my opinion based solely on my experiences since we moved to a tapeless workflow, but still have a tape library of several hundred tapes and occasionally shoot or receive new ones.
I certainly hope so.

After years of getting RFP’s in that listed as a requirement that the editing platform be FCP ( because it’s the only truly ‘professional’ platform, I’m thrilled.

“Standards???!! We don’t need no stinking standards!!!”
I heard that in a film once…or something like it.

I don’t believe that it can keep metadata intact, but ProxyMill is probably the easiest. It’s also a bit pricey. Using Adobe Media Encoder is not as hands-free, but it sure is a lot less expensive!
