My Question is how do you change the video clips from Ulead VideoStudio 7 into compatible formats for Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0? Has anybody had any experience with this? Thanks and greatest of luck!

Ulead VideoStudio to Adobe Premiere
I've been using Ulead VideoStudio 7 for my past productions and my job required an upgrade in professionalism. Personally, I loved Ulead and would have produced miracles with the program but they wanted complexity and having a budget they decided to upgrade. Adobe Premiere buzzed in their ears and now I'm sitting with a $1200 program and I have no idea how to convert the Ulead format into the Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 program.

One thing you have to realise about Premiere is that it does not really like input of mpeg-2 files -- although it will do so reluctantly. So if you are talking about mpeg-2s produced with VS7 or any other program, your options are limited.
Essentially, Premiere adores DV format, and more particularly the more professional Type 2 DV, rather than the Type 1 we generally recommend here. To deal with Type 2, you need to have a decent computer. And I have also found that when I use DV Type 1 captured on another program (either VS 9 or 10 or WinDV) in Premiere, I get regular sound 'pops'. When I recapture the same footage using Premiere and Type 2, the pops are absent.
Once you have finished editing the DV in Premiere, you then strike the mpeg-2 barrier again. Premiere can certainly convert the project to mpeg-2 but (as far as I have been able to learn myself), it uses the mpeg transport stream as the format, so you end up with files with .m2t as their extension.
In these circumstances, I have often found myself in the curious position of having used Premiere to capture and edit DV, then output my project to a single DV file. Then I import that file into VS and convert it to .mpg in that, and author using either VS or Movie Factory or DVD Workshop.
(Next you will be telling me your company has given you Adobe Encore for authoring. Well, I have never tried it -- it looks just too complex for my needs. As fifteenth century sailors used to say about blank spaces on their maps near the supposed edge of the flat earth: "There be dragons..."!!!
)
Anyway, good luck! You will need it. The learning curve for Premiere Elements is steep enough. For the full version of Premiere, it is stupendously huge!!!

The professional expensive programs work more with elementary streams.
There are 3 options.
1 - Convert the mpeg2 videos to DV-Type-2 for compatibility with the other program as posted above.
2 - Buy the "MainConcept Mpeg Add-On" package for Adobe that allows you to import and edit mpeg2 vidieo.
3- Return the product and buy Ulead MSP 8 or Vegas.
What's another $300.00 bucks compared to your labor to convert these files over.
