It sounds like you’re using the A/B timeline editing mode. You need to put the first clip on track A and the second clip on track B. Have the clips overlap, and place the transition between them. (Aka, the “Transition Sandwich”.)
You can also have the first clip on track B and the second clip on Track A, but the point is that they have to be on different tracks and they have to overlap.

What version of Premiere are you running?

AE is using QT to read the AIFF file. If you open the QT Player and open that file, can the QT player read it?
If you double-click on the file in AE’s project window, what do you get?
You may want to convert the file to WAV. It’s possible your AIFF file has some issues.

Use the Center Channel Extractor in Audition. It does a fairly decent job if your voice audio is balanced in the center of the stereo field.

The easy way:
1. Choose Start > Run.
2. Type in “charmap” (sans quotes). Click OK.
3. Choose your font.
4. Find the character you want and double-click it.
5. Hit the copy button.
6. Go back to your other program (Premiere, Photoshop, etc.) and paste.The power user way is to hold down the ALT key and type the character code on the keypad. The Character Map application will show you what the codes are for any given character when you click on it. For the copyright symbol,

I think you’re on the right track. It sound like you’re not changing your rendering settings. By default AE creates an uncompressed AVI file.
In the Render Queue, click on the Output Module settings and you can pick from a variety of formats, including MPEG-2 and WMV. From there you can click on the Format Settings and make tweaks to how that particular format is handled.

I can only answer the first part, the answer is no. Encore 2.0 can do CC, though, as long as you have your captions in the .SCC file format.

You can’t change the field dominance for DVD. It’s lower field for NTSC. Not sure about PAL (DVDDemystified.com may know). That’s part of the DVD spec, so Encore doesn’t let you change it.
What field dominance are your original clips? A quick way to test in AE- Drag the footage onto the New Comp button at the bottom of the Project window. Go to the comp settings and double the frame rate (59.94 for 29.97 clips). Play the footage and look for field issues. Interpret the footage to reverse the field domination, play the comp again and see if it looks better or worse. Whichever looks better is the correct setting.
If your footage is 486, that could cause issues if you put it in a 480 comp but have the position of the clip adjusted so that the fields are on the wrong pixel lines. Encore will take a 486 frame size, though, so you shouldn’t be trying to force things like that.

I’ve heard two solutions to this problem:
1. Remove AE and reinstall.
2. Scrub out the display drivers and install the newest version.Either way, AE isn’t seeing something about your card.

Use the Ramp effect in AE. Since AE isn’t really a paint program, most everything is done through effects.
You can also just make a gradient in Photoshop and import the file into AE. That works if you don’t need to animate the parameters.
