Johnny…Good news!
In CS6 you can simply alt-drag a clip and all attributes come with it.
By the way it was ctrl-alt-v, not ctrl-v to paste attributes.

By the way, I checked out the Loons website (I’m a minor league baseball fan). I tried to play some game highlights and was unable to. I kept getting the message that Windows media player might not support the codec. I didn’t really delve into it, but I have Win 7 Ultimate 64, and WMP 12.x. Anyway, I hope that I can one day view those. I even tried downloading and playing with VLC…no dice.

Good. I’m very glad that helped.
Oh, and good thing you wrote, I forgot one thing, to make it more ‘pro’.
Give each of your timelines an ‘End Action’ back to the/a menu. You can do that in the properties window to the far right. This way when a video ends it returns to a menu.
You can preview your project by right clicking in the menu window and selecting Preview from here…or Preview…depending where you click.

I’ve never had an issue with it in 7 ultimate 64.
By the way I checked out two of your tutorials and both were said to be removed by user.

Hey Shelley
In Premiere, all of your videos go in separate sequences…with whatever chapter markers you choose. Save it…close it.
In encore, import your sequences from that Premiere project…you can import as sequence or wait until they’re all imported to do so…which is the next paragraph.
You now need to create a timeline for each. Click on a ‘Premiere Pro Sequence’ in the Project window and then press ctrl-T or select create a new item, which should be the middle item at the bottom of the Project window, and select Timeline.
Click ctrl-M to create a new menu item.
Drag each timeline to the new menu item which appears. Buttons will appear. Change the names of the buttons in the properties window, where it says name…or right click on them and select rename.
Go to your flowchart and make sure that your main menu is connected to the project ‘disc’.
That’s it in a nutshell…
Any other questions I’ll try to help.

On the mac I wouldn’t know of any tools for this other than what I would assume comes with the full Mac version of CS5 (the entire suite). I would and do use the Adobe Media Encoder to do all conversions, simply because it allows me to use other tools at the same time.
You might also try throwing it into After Effects and just rendering it with the default lossless setting. A lot less fussing about.
I can’t really help too much with your particular workflow, but I’ll just say that once you get yours worked out, you should be set for awhile with it.

Also, take note that on the Panasonic website page for that camera, they ‘suggest’ editing with Edius….HOWEVER, prior to editing, the footage must be converted…and in the demo video, the converter is converting to AVI.

The .mts file format is based on mpeg.
But you need to think about why you’d want to do that (import highly compressed files), especially before paying the price for professional software.
Exporting is understandable, but I don’t suggest editing in anything compressed. The processor has to spend a lot of time “re-creating” information. Also and more importantly, you will have no idea whether your edits are actually accurate with compressed formats.
As gospel, I never edit with a format that is compressed. Not even just fooling around with edits or effects.
Edit uncompressed for absolute accuracy, then export compressed for smaller file sizes…and easier “sharing”.
So, my suggestion, take all of you footage from that camera and convert to .avi or Quicktime and set codec to none, import those much larger files…then edit.

In the CS5 trial they’ve left out a bunch of presets, and that may also mean codecs…I don’t know, though I have heard (read) that people have been able to use 7d footage with the trial.
I personally would want to see the trial play that footage, before laying out the cash…I mean you could try contacting Adobe and asking what’s up with that (and whether your specs will work), but who knows what that will entail, and are they really just going to try pushing Nvidia GPUs.
I can say that CS5 has new features that are excellent. Many of them are not advertised. If you play around with the software a little, you’ll start seeing some pretty cool things.

This is just my own two cents. I never play the video during multicam editing, I just scrub it using the shuffler. This usually saves me time later in the trimming phase.
