  Exporting from Premiere to Encore CS3 -> timeline too high bitrate

  Posted by Derek Beck on November 2, 2007 at 7:15 am

  I can’t seem to get a good output of my movie from Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 to Encore CS3.

  I am using APP’s media encoder to export as mpeg2 in elemental (not multiplexed) form, and have tried several CBR at 8 and then 7 Mbps. My audio is PCM. The film is only 23 minutes, so CBR should be fine, based on what I’ve read. I don’t know if it is a factor, but there is the audio track, plus an optional commentary track on the same timeline in Encore, a timeline I call “movie”.

  However, upon checking the project in Encore, it says “timeline bitrate too high”. I notice if I delete the audio from the timeline, the check is fine.

  What is the best strategy for best quality?

  If you recommend exporting some intermediary format from APP, then using Encore’s auto feature, please be specific on what intermediary format I should use. But this is not the ideal choice.

  Thanks so much! Desparate to get this project done before I go insane 🙂

  Again, thanks for reading,
  Derek

  PS: I don’t have a license for the dolby audio feature.

  PPS: I know APP has a feature to export directly to Encore, but not sure this will work for me because I have elaborate menus and stuff setup in my Encore project already…but if you know of a way, please let me know. 🙂

  Please provide details on the audio clips in each audio track (encoding, bit rate, etc.), and also on your project audio settings (you can find this in preferences).

  Thanks for the reply.

  In Project Settings, audio settings: set to 48kHz.

  You didn’t ask about the video, but all of it is DVAVI for the most part. Some is uncompressed AVI elements.

  Thanks, Derek

  Sorry, I meant the audio settings in Encore, available from the Advanced tab in the Project Settings dialog.

  I seem to have tried it both ways in Encore, Dolby or PCM, with no benefit or apparent affect either way. I have the audio elements themselves set to automatic transcode.

  Thanks, Derek

  If you have two audio tracks and Dolby Digital encoding in Encore, you should be able to manage 7 Mbps for video without getting any errors.

  Thanks for the reply, but I guess I’m not quite following what I should do, other than set Encore to Dolby. Should I still export the mpeg elements from Premiere?

  Thanks,
  Derek
