“The future ain’t what it used to be.”

It’s like another one of my favorites: “87.5% of all statistics are made up on the spot”.

You’re probably right, but that shouldn’t distract from the profound significance this sentiment has on how I view Apple as a business partner. About a year ago I started sensing I was NOT a priority for Apple and began moving towards other vendors. Maybe not the right move for others, but the Adobe Production Premium Suite has worked out great for me.

“Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.”

Thank you!!!!

So, I’ve reduced this down into the simplest steps I can think of. Still no luck. Running Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1 on Mac OS 10.5.8:1. Create a new project
2. Create a new sequence – DV NTSC Standard
3. Add clip to sequence – using SkateBoAM.mov from Twixtor tutorial
4. Add the clip again to the sequence for padding
5. Create a second sequence
6. Add first sequence to second sequence
7. Apply Twixtor 4.5 effect to first clip in first sequence
8. Change Output Control Speed to 50%
9. Playback second sequence – motion is indeed reduced by 50%, but at the point the padding was added, it begins playing from the beginning.Could this have anything to do with it: the frame size of my sequence is 720 x 480. The frame size of the clip is 360 x 240. The moment I apply the Twixtor effect to the clip, it expands in the output display to 720 x 480. The padded clip remains at the original size.
Thanks.
