Glad it worked!
Actually, it is worth leaving the interleave at "1-frame",
since audio rendering is normally VERY fast, even with
multiple tracks with filters applied, and the file sizes
are FAR smaller than the video preview file sizes - not a
problem...
Also, the one time I had BAD lock-up problems with Premiere
and Raptor (other than when forgetting to save often [with
Win98 {Win 2000 doesn't seem to show this problem...}]
was when editing while using 128-megs RAM instead of 256 and
using the parametric EQ on audio without rendering before
even previewing it.
If you have multiple mixed audio tracks, especially with
filters applied, I would always render the audio before
attempting timeline playback to camera for making the
masters.
Oh, and it's "David" - but my shared account can make
that confusing...;-)
