Improvements in latest version?

There are two issues I have with my Adobe 9:

1. I need to specify defaults for literally a thousand or more video clips, requiring two or more dialog windows for every single one. Does the latest version have a way to choose default preferences so I don't have to do this again and again for every single PDF I make?

2. The floating windows for videos built by Adobe 9 have an ugly, off-putting black border - and if that were not bad enough, new users will have great difficulty finding the 'X' to close the window since it is not sufficiently different from its black background in the frame.

Does anyone know if the latest Adobe version fixes either one of those problems? If so, I will buy it immediately!

Thanks.
