There is no problem importing or editing 1080p60--AVCHD or otherwise--in CS5. I don't see why this would change for better or worse in CS5.5.

The issue that is most often referenced in relation to this footage is that there isn't a Bluray or other HD broadcast spec that supports this format. You can export to a web or local playback file, or you could down-res to 720p60 for BD.

Yep, the question is not about PP since you can get it to deal with 60p with Cs5.  The question is Encore.  Will it add one more output

format, which is the avchd 60p.  Yep, this is not BR. But, there are now BR players, settop boxes, and computers that will play this.

There is even one authoring program out there that outputs the format with menus.  So, has Encore been updated in CS5.5?

>avchd 60p.  Yep, this is not BR

Adobe licenses the actual disc burning "core" from Roxio, so Encore is only able to author what Roxio allows (I don't work for Adobe, so details of this may not be 100% correct)

Until Roxio updates their "burning engine modules" Encore will not add anything new... and will also stay 32bit until Roxio rewrites their modules to be 64bit

use a sequence format of 1080/30p, or 1080/60i or something else?

Something else: 1080p60. It may not be a broadcast or delivery spec, but Premiere can create a sequence using those parameters. The easiest way to do so is to simply drag a clip down to the New Item button at the bottom of the Project Panel. This will create a sequence that matches your clip parameters and place the clip into it. You can add your other clips as needed then.

Personally, I'd go 720p60 on BD, instead of 1080i60; I think it's better to match your frame rate and cadence instead of trying to match the raster and introduce interlacing. The 1080p60 material should generate some pretty nice 720p60 content.

When burning to blu-ray, is it better to go 720p60 or use 108060i since 1080p30 is not available.?

That depends on your source footage and target audience.  If your source doesn't have a lot of motion in it, and/or your target audience is people viewing it on their computer or people who will be resizing the footage and uploading it to the web, then 1080p30.  If your footage has a lot of motion in it, or your target audience is broadcast, then 1080i30.  If you need to meet all targets (motion + computer viewing + manipulating the footage) then 720p60.

I'll see if I can get one. It may take a while.

Bug fixes for Premiere CS5.5 would be great too.
