Whats the best format to export out of After Effects into Adobe Encore?
Hi there
Basically Im trying to make a video background in after effects and then putting it in Encore. However when I preview it the video is jerky, so then I tried to transcode it, but when I do that the audio goes and all Im left with is a jerky video. Im pretty sure that once I build the DVD this problem wont be there, but its really annoying cause Im trying to get the timing of the buttons appear exactly right and its impossible with jerky video. In AE im just going to make movie and then choosing Loseless, so it does also mean the video files are huge, like 30 seconds is almost 1 gig. Any tips on the best format to save out as?
Thanks in advance!

If you have an MPEG2 codec, that is best because all Encore will essentially do is transcode any video format to MPEGII.

I found that the “format” (found in the Output module settings) that work really well is “MPEG2-DVD” – it’s in the same place as where you choose, AVI, Quicktime Movie, Targa Sequence…etc). You’ll have to play with the format options to balance out size vs. image quality, but it works pretty well.
It renders in a format called M2V – Encore has no trouble reading this – it goes right in. However, the audio files it generates (seperately)cause problems for encore. So I just re-export the audio as an AVI (No video, just audio) and import that seperately.
Hope that helps.
