Do you mean HD or HDV? Are you editing native HDV? If so, I can see where you would hate the program. Without Cineform Aspect HD, I would probably be tearing my hair out by the roots.

I can’t think of any advantages in the standard definition world of DV. There are advantages to using Component outputs of HDV cameras that way, but once DV goes through the firewire, it is compressed. And it looks better than trying to use composite ports.

I suggest that you finish projects in the program they were created in.

David,
In that case, IMHO, your time would be better spent writing feature requests and bug reports. I am not saying that Adobe never reads these forums, they probably do. But they pay more attention to direct emails and reports. If you really want to catch their attention, spring for a stamp and send snail mail.
Perhaps my frustration is showing. I apologize. I just get tired of hearing people blast Adobe for not supporting a new OS that just came out this week. Especially since almost everyone here knows that Adobe never announces in advance. With the exception of announcing the Mac version for this summer. It could be announced next week for all we know. I doubt it, but it is possible.
Also, I never crash Premiere Pro. So I really don’t understand why other people don’t avoid doing the things that cause crashes. Do I wish I didn’t have to avoid them? Sure! Do I know how? Apparently. Of course, I use After Effects to help me avoid issues that cause problems with Premiere Pro. And I use Audition to get my audio ready.
I do have the advantage of not having the type of clients who watch over my shoulder. I show them the almost finished material, get their input, and deliver the product. Much easier, I admit. Nonetheless, I still don’t crash. I do reboot now and then when I have been using multiple apps during the editing process. But that is just a hassle I can deal with for now.
My PC is relatively new ( https://www.stevengotz.com/pc.htm ) and could easily handle Vista, but I am in no hurry to make a change in OS until I can see a reason.

You should be using a Track Matte. Your torn edge matte should be white on one side and black on the other. If you put footage on track one, and footage on track two, and the track matte on track three, and apply the track matte effect to the clip in track two, then it should show one tack on one side of the matte, and the other track on the other side of the matte.

It is completely reasonable to assume that a program written before Vista was released this week, might not run on Vista.
When will Premiere Pro run on Vista? Well, we all know from experience that Adobe doesn’t announce anything until they are done testing it and the master disks are on the way to the duplicator. SO be patient.
If there are no patches forthcoming, then perhaps this summer will see a release compatible with Vista.
In the meantime, if you want to change to some other program, feel free to do so. I choose to wait patiently and wait until Vista has the bugs ironed out enough to work properly with the camera I own. And the software I want to use has been updated. I have few problems working with Premiere Pro. If you are suffering, maybe you should make the change.

If you are having problems using the Adobe Media Encoder, try creating a new project, put a couple of stills in it and try exporting. There may be something in your project that is causing the problem. Especially if you are importing Quicktime.

Don’t use File > Export > Movie
Use the Adobe Media Encoder instead.
