Can’t get chapters to export from Premier Pro to Encore – CS4
So my office upgrades my DVD authoring software including Adobe Encore and Premier Pro to CS4…cool! Problem is I can no longer figure out how to export chapters from PP to Encore. I had this down pat in the previous versions of the software I was using.
I understand that in CS4 you have to use Encore Chapter Markers now which is new. I’ve poured over this page:
https://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS2D9F99F2-DF78-42ed-9612-A224EFA80C4A.html
…and I am missing something.I’m doing the following:
1. set up timeline in PP
2. place Encore Chapter Markers where I want chapters in Encore
3. export video w/ chapters using Adobe Media Encoder (another new step)
4. go into Encore and import the exported video
5. create timeline from video that’s been imported into EncoreSo in the past when I created the timeline I’d see all my chapters show up. Now the video comes in fine but none of my chapters are there.
I’ve scoured the net and am not sure what step I’m missing.

AFAIK, You’ll have to use dynamic link for the chapter to show up.
File > Dynamic Link > Send to Encore

The Encore Chapter Markers need to be named. It’s a CS4 requirement that if the Encore Chapter Markers are not named then MPEG-2 DVD exports won’t carry them into Encore.
That’ll fix ya up. Just did a week of trouble shooting this exact thing.
Using Send to Encore is great, but the Media Cache files get full quickly when using the Dynamic Link feature. Much Faster render times if you know the material won’t fill the disc at High Quality MPEG-2 DVD setting.

I’ve always numbered my chapter markers using numbers. Since a chapter number is automatically placed at the front I always started with 2 and went up from there. So I do have the name box filled out…with numbers. Still not exporting.

On the export panel, make sure you have “Include Source XMP data” selected also.(it is on the small drop down menu)
So, you have put numbers in the name field? That should work.
Try creating a NEW ENcore project then export to test. -
Watch this video: https://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cs4/using-dynamic-link-with-encore/
There you send your timeline in premiere to encore with the markers (you have to check “encore marker” in the marker dialog window).
But vice versa and via “dynamik link” the markers are missing — any solution?

I am having trouble using the Dynamic link in Premiere CS6. The “send to Encore” under Dynamic link is -greyed out – in Premiere and I can’t seem to figure it out. If you have any suggestions I would be very much appreciated .
