    Does Direct Link from PP to SG actually work??  Does SG actually work???

      I have been hassling with this all day.... the project will go over to SG (via Direct link), and I start grading and about after 30-40 mins it will just crash (SG actually closes down)... there is no file / no save as far as I can tell... so all the work I did is lost (and this has happened 3 times now).  It is a short 5 min EPK with nothing heavy in the way of transistions.  So I read about DIRECT LINKS problems and then tried the EDL method of bringing it over, consolidated to 1 video track as it is limited too (I honestly CANNOT believe this) who edits on 1 video track?  This is ridiculious!!  But anyway, I get the big red square with all kinds of "not supported" problems and my EDL never actually gets loaded.  VERY FRUSTRATED... how am I ever going to even start thinking about grading a 90 min feature if I can't get a 5 min EPK to WORK.  So far I am NOT IMPRESSED with SG.... which stinks after I have spent days in tutorials learning the program!   Anyone actually ever use SG for a real project before???
