How to Copy Encore Sequences Between Projects?
I tried to post this and it did not go through, sorry if it posted twice:
I have been working on a DVD for over a month now, and after finishing it, I started working on a second project that uses some of the same sequences as the first project.
I really don’t want to have to go back in and retype/adjust all the subtitles that I have already done in the other project.
Since Encore does not give you the option of exporting the subtitles, I was wondering if there is a way to copy the entire sequence and paste it into the new project and/or import the encore sequence from the one project into another. If not, is there a workaround?
So far I’ve had no such luck with either. Thanks a bunch for your help.

No, Encore supports having only one project opened at a time (and no copy/paste between projects).
Instead, do a SaveAs on your project, and then delete what you no longer need in your Project window.

Thanks, but that will not work for me as I am combining multiple projects. I guess I will just have to retype the subtitle.
You would think copy/pasting sequences, and/or import/exporting them, would be a basic function. One more reason why I feel like Encore is just a tacked on software that was not fully developed.
I would not recommend it to someone who does DVD authoring for a living.

Odd that you didn’t mention that in your first post. You explicitly said:

And if the lack of exporting subtitles is what’s holding you back from using Encore, perhaps a program like Subtitle Workshop or Lemony Subtitler would help. That way you create the subtitles once, and then import them into as many projects as you need. Edits are easy too.

Sorry I didn’t mention it. If Save as had been an option, I would have done that to begin with.
Thanks for the software links. I will try them out.

Not in a DVD authoring software. Its basic function is to build DVD-Video discs.
