Help: Steps to export my project to Encore

[Mike Velte]

File>Adobe Dynamic Link>Send to Encore

[Hector Melendez]

This didn’t work, Mike. It freeze up at 50% when a window “Import Premiere Pro Sequence” show up. I leave it running for over an hr and the status didn’t change despite I see some HDisc activity any other time. Could be its working but how do I know? Its taking more time that I used to see in CC3. What next?

Between each try I have to power down the PC. It freeze it up. However I could export one of the 3 timelines by exporting media procedure. I selected Microsoft avi, simulating the same as in CC3 default.

Due to all of this problems I don’t want to use Encore CC4. Its better to stay within a known prog.s like Encore CC2 or CC3. This is a long project & want it to finish it ASAP

thanks

make sure your work area bar is ok
file>export media
choose your export settings
h.264 for dvd will mean that encore wont need to transcode
hit ok,

adobe media encoder will open up with the file and presets that you chose
if you need to make any changes to your export you can go into more detailed settings here
once your done with your settings, hit “Start Queue”

the file will be exported with the settings you chose
then simply go into encore and import the file

thats it 🙂

Thanks Peter
Did it this way and was able to make the transcoding only that it takes more time than CC3 to make it because it first takes about 1hr to load the project before starting the transcoding… weird (not an advance in this version)

Arouse to me whats the best set-up to make the trancoding because I don’t want to make multi-transcoding and lost quality because anyway Encore makes his own to get it fixed into the DVD

[Peter Berthet]

i understand the ‘best’ way is to bring in raw video and allow encore to transcode the videos, as it fits them using the best compression for your individual project.

the way i desribed above is a standard h264 export which could potentially offer poorer results, although ive yet to see a serious difference

UPDATE
I was able to make the timeline transcodings to be use by Encore. (avi files)
I don’t understand why this changes are made if the final result is the same. Its like go to Walmart one day and find out they have change the lay-out. You got crazy finding the stuff you were accustomed to buy.

CC4 takes more time to render… can’t export a frame as before..can’t monitor out my Timeline, difficult to export timelines an so on.

Users have to weight the benefits or new features vs the extra time needed to execute the same common tasks.

[Peter Berthet]

just out of interest what sort of system are you running, so far the experience ive had with CS4 is that its been faster to complete most tasks than cs3 (certainly crashes less)

Well Peter, its an HP dual core 4200 AMD with 3g ram, and an Nvidia 7300 GTS, 256ram. All raw and scratch discs are external HD (2 of 500g ea) plus another 250g internal sata to store the transcodings)
This Pc works flawlessly with the others PP versions.

[Peter Berthet]

yeah , in that case definately odd that your getting poor performance

i was running some tests doing the same thing you described on a laptop that isnt even close to the spec of your system and it ran fine.
