Danny,
Actually, it’s not a bug. When your footage is in a track (say stereo), you can imagine what changing the audio mapping to mono would do to your edit…

Hi Dale,
The only thing that comes to mind are playback quality settings?

Danny,
You will only be able to modify the files that are not in the timeline or source window. Clear them all and you should be fine.

Hi Martha,
You should be fully compatible with your current formats and version. Filters can be an issue. On the upgrade question, it should not matter (not 100% sure on that, but backward compatibility usually doesn’t affect dot releases).
Although 5.5 includes bug fixes, I would be hesitant to upgrade in the middle of project.

Hi Ben,
As long as the clips are not yet in the timeline, you can select them all, then change your interpretation.

Hi Richard,
If this is DV, you could try this application.

Hi Mikkell,
Thar’s what frame blending is all about, creating motion blur to hide jitter. There are a few options out there, including video copilot’s frame rate converter, and Twixtor.
They should both provide much better results, although with the latter, you may see other artifacts such as smearing, especially with lower shutter speeds.

Hi Jim,
With frame blending, you trade jitter with something that might resembles motion blur. The more you slow down, the worse the jitter get, so there is a point where you have to pick one or the other. It really depends on how much motion you have in the original, but you really only want blending where it’s absolutely needed. You can simply right click on the clips you need frame blending on, and check that option (cut if needed).
There are some more pleasing options, like one from Video copilot, or a paid option like Twixtor., although they both do much better with higher shutter rates.

I think the only real downside when compared to FCP or AVID will be stability.
Although, it is actually very good, the simple fact that it relies on multiple native formats instead of just one like FCP means that you will have more potential for crashes and corruption. The upside of course, is great compatibility and huge time savings. Again, no real issues that we have seen lately and I expect that, as more broadcast pros get warmed up to Premiere, things will only improve. One important aspect of stability will also depends on which 3rd party hardware you decide to go with.
Adobe has always listened to input from its users (albeit sometimes with long delays) and improvements over the last few years have been phenomenal.
