We’re 6 versions (going on 7) from PPro 1.5. The plugin architecture has been revised multiple times.
If there ever was a patch, I’d think you’d have to find somebody who can sell the one they have to you as I highly doubt anything is available on a retail basis for CS2, which Adobe would have dropped official support for 5 years ago at the latest.

I’ve got a dual hex-core Z800 here, running with HT on and the QT32 server is allowed to run on all processors (I only have 12 options, not 24, in the Set Affinity dialog).
I have QT Pro version 7.7.1 and just tested an export…watched the performance graphs…the export wasn’t using all 24 threads, but it seems to work here.

If you are supplying broadcast commercials or programming, using a computer monitor, even a reasonably calibrated one, is not as dependable as viewing on a broadcast monitor…interlace is particularly critical.
With the Adobe Suite of software, most video card manufacturers support Photoshop and AE output so you can scope materials before you render or save them and have to import them into Premiere Pro…
Does everyone need an external video card for editing? …probably not.
Are external video cards still useful/necessary for many types of workflows/deliverables? …absolutely.

Yes, Alex has it right.
The scaling (the size of the image, not the resolution fraction) function in Premiere Pro is a post-decode function. There are media types where you can set the decode complexity and take advantage of less decode “work” if you’re using a smaller frame size for reference purposes…CineForm comes to mind. They’ve been using their wavelet-based codec to run they’re full res media as “half res” to speed up editing response for 10 years. RED proxy files are meant to serve the same purpose, but the process is a little different.
Most media that doesn’t have that capability built into the codec itself, is completely decoded at full frame, interpreted to 4:4:4 (fill in the bits needed to make a complete picture from 4:2:0, etc) at full color precision and then scaled to your overlay size. Systems with a supported GPU get all that stuff that comes after the decode step off the CPU and onto the GPU for better performance.

Keep in mind that there are applications for those markers within the Adobe family of applications…metadata, assistant editor/producer markups, etc.
If the source markers are set in Prelude in preparation for use in Premiere Pro, or set in Premiere Pro and are necessary as a reference in AE, the markers need to travel with the source media.
The fact that it affects another application is a legitimate reason to file a bug report, though the modification date itself is a function of the OS.

Yes…it’s due to an unlicensed effect plugin.
Thank goodness Todd Kopriva and the Adobe Support Staff can all go back to what they were doing…

Out of curiosity, what would happen if you take the problem clips and re-export them in some high-quality file format and bring them back into the project?
If this is only happening with some clips and not all clips of a certain type, that would point to some file defect in the specific clips to me…

It looks like Video Copilot’s Evolution product to me…

Just went back and tried this…it appears that moving the clip up per my suggestion makes no difference (there have been times when it’s been the difference for me in the past…)
Jeff’s suggestion is the best one here…it’s likely the difference between exporting as 24 bit or 32 bit (32 bit adds an 8 bit alpha channel).

Put your gif on V2 in Premiere Pro before you export and see if the transparency shows…
