Thanks Robin
 

Considering how aggressively you've had Canon service your camera, I'll conclude that there is little help for the XL1/Premiere issue from the XL1 angle of it. I'm glad to see that Premiere representatives (i.e. Mike) are looking at this issue now. Maybe they can do a Scenalyzer-type thing to work around the incompatibility... an upgrade, a plug-in, or whatever.

Thank you for your work and the information you've shared with this forum.
