If it is bouncing a lot it is probably just the tracking point jumping a few pixels here and there. I have seen the same thing.
The first step on cleaning this up would be to remove a lot of the keyframes in the tracking data. By default you are tracking a keyframe every single frame. You can probably get by with a lot less, depending on how smooth the motion is. If the motion is very linear or repetetive, start taking out keyframes, leaving like 1 for every five frames or even less. This will smooth out the motion. do it slowly checking the track every time you clear out keyframes, to make sure you didn’t lose some important keyframes.
This should start to smooth out that jumping look.

Which technique do you mean?
The color correction? The keying of original footage? The text animation? There is a lot going on here, what part intrigues you? There are a number of items adding to this lovely whole.

Also, here is a very complete comparison chart for a little more research if you need it:

They do indeed limit RAM in software on the other versions. Ain’t Microsoft the best?
Personally, I use Ultimate x64 which does it all, but if you are worried a bit about price, grab Pro. Don’t mess with any of the others as you’ll be crippled for RAM in the future (which as x64 takes off, will be very very big in the next couple of years) and miss out on the XP mode, which will keep older tools useful.
Also, don’t go x32 as pretty much every big software maker is going 64 bit on professional applications.

Yes, Premiere has this feature. It is different in different versions of premiere, but is always under the heading “external monitoring”.
Check under project settings, or “preferences” for options that discuss external monitoring and IEEE 1394

Fraps records footage in the resolution you are displaying for the game. Most games use a standard monitor resolution instead of a standard TV resolution, in this case, your ratio is probably taller than normal, thus it is cutting off the top and bottom.
I usually right click the clip “scale to fit” and then adjust the scale disproportionately until it fits correctly. This messes up the image aspect a bit, but it works.
Converting footage to an intermediate codec is fine, but only if you really need to. My computer can process Fraps codec in CS4 just fine.

I agree. Being the editor, if that is what you want to be, is more important than the tool you use. There are few career editors that have the option of using the tool of their choice. Learn them all and be the best editor you can be.

I would say that whatever that unit goes for on ebay is probably close to the mark. Look it up over there.

How long are you waiting? Sometimes ME can take a while. Short projects usually are easier, but I’ve heard waits as long as an hour.
