David,

When I create a sequence in CS5 for a Cinefrom avi, should there be a yellow bar, a red bar or no bar at all above the Cineform clips?

I am asking this because on my new machine I get 2 different behaviours:

With a red bar I can use Cineform Color - Levels 32-bit, [and thus rendering is needed]
with the yellow bar [creating a sequence by dragging a clip to new item] and using the color levels, Pro CS5 crashes immediately.

Uninstalling Neo4K and reinstalling didn't solve it.

So I am asking what my sequence should look like in CS5.

Must be something with the installer; I have got only Cineform dissolves in video transitions in CS5, nothing more of Cineform,no wipes or whatever...
Pro 2 and CS3 behave like they always did: realtime and no crashes after using color correction.

TIA

We don't (yet) override the default Premiere behavior for this -- you can safely ignore it, yellow or red, most sequences should play fine.

I agree with the timeline playing fine when the red bars are above the clips, but what about the rendering that is needed and the missing realtime video transitions?

Doesn't look like anything in CS3 though....

rendering is not need. The colors are cosmetic. In CS3 we mostly turned them off.

Missing video transitions compared with CS3?
Thanks David ;-)
