Premiere Pro Projects into one DVD? Via Encore?
Hi,
I have created three premiere pro projects that I need to put onto a DVD.
Is there a way that either Premiere Pro or Encore will read the seperate project files and compile/render them onto the DVD project?
Or will I need to export/render the seperate premiere pro projects as movies (avi or mpeg2) and then use these files to put into a DVD project?
What is the best format for not losing any quality, as I guess I might be rendering it twice, once in Premiere pro project + then again onto a DVD.
Any help or suggestions is always very appreiated.
Many thanks,
NIckIf life serves you lemons, make lemonade!

It really depends on how long the projects are. Currently, you can’t use dynamic link from Premiere to Encore, but you can use a Bit rate calculator, (here’s a simple one, https://www.customflix.com/bitbudget or a more advanced one: https://dvd-hq.info/Calculator.html), you can then use the Adobe media encoder export and choose Mpeg2 DVD. Just add up the length of all 3 projects and put it in the calculator, then use the result to customize the encoder. If you followed everything right, Encore shouldn’t have to encode again.
Just as a side note, if all your footage exceeds 2 hours, you will have problems keeping a standard DVD at a descent quality.

There is several ways to accomplish this and you don’t need a calculator as long as you select “automatic”(by default)I had burned 2hrs.30 mins and the quality still good. (depends of the quality of the original)
One way is:
From PP export each TLine as .avi. Import this 3 clips into Encore and drag each Encore TL end action (properties selected) into the main menu. This way when a TL finish will return to main menu.
There are others steps to make this but maybe someone else could help you better.(Language barrier)
You have to know Encore (practice/experiment) to find out all of its capabilities. Its not difficult if understand the basic steps. -
Hi Guys,
THat’s really helpful thank you.
I’m exporting the videos as I type, damn it takes a long time.
But as soon as its done i’ll give it a go and import into Encore, and hope they link up ok. This is the first time I have used encore, so will be interesting to see.

Just to add to Hector’s comment calculating the bit rate will allow you to avoid a second render, and so to export directly from Premiere as Mpeg2. But yes, you don’t mind the second render, and the 100 gigs per hour of video that rendering to uncompressed will take, then the automatic method in Encore is indeed easier.

Hey there,
Not sure about the export to encore, but I have been doing a huge project in Premiere and had my share of problems with encoding. I was getting repeated error messages and decided to go in a differant way. I rendered the file out as an 2 pass mpeg 2……………..premiere would not do a DV avi for some reason of memory.I then imported that back into premiere and encoded that at the highest setting it could do. were talking 1 hour and 19 minutes of footage. The quality was better than I thought, but not good enough. Thankfully I have solved the encoding issue which was due to transition that had repeated frames.
Hope this helps you out.
