Try Export to QuickTime and choose the Animation codec or Motion JPEG with quality at !00%.
My experience with Streamclip converting to QT formats though is that it will mess up your video by over-emphasizing chroma and reducing luma (making your footage look dark and over colorized) - which might as well be a QT codec problem and not a Streamclip issue.
Looking at your workflow overall, you will have to step up... PremPro 2.0 is now what... 5 years old, maybe even older. I will just not going to cut it...

Thanks Ervin, I will give that a try. Yep, I know I'm using archaic technology...but building a brand new 64-bit system came to $2600+ with CS5 Production Premium... Gotta keep saving my pennies.

It's definitely not the best way to go but it can be done. My entry for UWOL16 called Lone Star Safari was shot entirely on a T2i and edited entirely in PP2. Files were just dragged in from the card, trimmed in the source window and dropped on the timeline as per usual. No intermediate codec was used. Each clip further had some color correction tweaks and unsharp masking. You do have a lot more rendering overhead. If you have some T2i footage just give it a try and see if it works for you. I have to agree with Ervin though. PP2 is getting long in the tooth. I just finally upgraded to CS5.

Mikes, thanks for a little hope. I do have some footage that I dropped directly into a timeline, however I get choppy playback even after rendering the video. I can edit HDV just fine, but this h264 just taxes my system terribly. I think my primary problem is that my processor is only a Dual Core Pentium D 3.2Ghz processor. Would this make sense? What processor did you use for your editing?
Would a Quad core potentially help or doesn't PP2 recognize quad core performance? Upgrading to the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0GHz would be my cheapest option if that would assist in editing.
