Thanks for your suggestions, everyone. Yes, I was editing AVCHD with CS4, Uwe, when I didn't have significant editing to do to the footage. I didn't always use Cineform. The only time I've gotten the yellow timeline in the past with CS4 is when the footage really didn't match the sequence (mixing different footage) and then I could definitely understand the need to re-render.
I can preview the footage fine from the timeline (within reason given the compressed AVCHD footage. But it looks the same as it did in CS4). The problem with the yellow bar is, from what I can tell, it takes a lot longer to render the timeline because it is indeed re-rendering each frame. I have two 90-minute Nutcracker shows, with two cameras, and shudder to think of the time required just to render the timeline before it even gets encoded for output. I will try dropping footage onto a new sequence as suggested when I get home tonight. Thanks for the idea.
