MPEG is a delivery format, not an editing format.
Decompress the file, prior to import to Premiere.
It sounds like you can decompress in AE – Video:Uncompressed, Audio, PCM WAV.
I usually use AVS Video Converter for this.
You also may want to open your clip with GSpot Codec Information Appliance. It gives you a great deal of information about a video file, including the codecs that are used.Vince

I would try burning with dedicated burning software, such as Nero or Toast or whatever..
Use Premiere for editing and rendering.Vince

Decompress the file as PCM WAV, prior to import.

Aside from doing something overly complicated in after effects, like masking the subjects and stamping a separated background for more control.
Maybe compositing the shots with a slightly feathered mask and the motion tracker…If it is that important that you have a continuous shot, it might be easier to reshoot.
Unless you can get the shot you want, I’d try embracing the challenge as you’ve done by experimenting.
Maybe a 1 or 2 second dissolve. Maybe a simple wipe to show a passage of time.
If you deinterlace, maybe you could try a dissolve with zoom.
Again, if you deinterlace, maybe you could do a small upscale so you could transition showing the subjects in clearly different positions.Maybe make the jump into a theme and drop frames in other portions of the video.
I guess I’m saying that I’d try to do something creative rather than trying to hide a jump.
Maybe get someone else to look at it to see if they can see the jump.

I’m not sure what your issue actually is, I haven’t seen it..
I assume these ‘Ghost Lines’ don’t show up on the preview of other AI files??
Maybe try carefully selecting each/all components of the logo with the Group Selection Tool and pasting into a new clean document.

That looks more like a job for After Effects – using layer masks and feathering.
It looks like you want to feather three clips together, side by side.You could create Alpha Mattes (in PhotoShop)to composite and feather the edges, for use with the Track Matte Key effect in Premiere.
You might have the center portion at full opacity, than create two alpha channel images to control the blending/feathering of the video that will run on the left and right sides.
The left side alpha would be solid white (pass-through) on the left third, with a b/w gradient approximately 1/3 from the left side of the frame, to create the feathering. Than, the remaining 2/3 of the image would be solid black (no pass-through).
You would flip all of these instructions to set up the composite for the right side, as well.Here’s an example of how to set up Track Mattes in Premiere. It doesn’t show you exactly what you would need to do for your purpose, but it will show you the mechanics of how to use the Track Matte.

Video CODEC: Uncompressed (None)
Audio CODEC: PCM WAV…assuming you have the drive space. Especially, as you will be doing a bit of post-processing.
Decompress before importing into any editing apps. You may also want to split the decompressed clips so they are smaller than 10GB, or even 2GB.
Just some ideas.

What format is your source video. Is a delivery codec or an editing codec.
I’d try decompressing the source material, prior to editing. Than, correct the video if necessary.
I might argue that what you see in PP or AE is the more ‘correct’ display.
Aside from monitor calibration, I don’t believe there is a way to adjust the gamut of the Premiere/AE monitor.Vince

Keith – I like your answers. I hope you stick around.

I only know how to move a center-point during a ‘Rotate’ operation.
Select the object.
Press ‘R’ to activate the Rotate tool.
Than, left-click on the rotate point to drag it.https://library.creativecow.net/articles/rosati_vincent/radial_patterns.php
Maybe you could group an empty object beneath your main object, that has a point in the location you desire.
