Need advice on creating Encore chapters in Premier

[Dex Craig]

Place sequence markers on the timeline in Premiere Pro by right-clicking the dark grey band in the timeline (or where the work-bar is) and selecting “next available numbered.” This will allow you to set markers that will become chapter markers in Encore.

To export an MPEG 2 from Premiere, go to File>Export>Adobe Media Encoder. There are a billion options in the Adobe Media Encoder, so a little research on what specs you’re looking to export to for your DVD will be helpful (you’ll want to start iwth MPEG2-DVD, unless you’re creating a VCD). The nice thing about exporting an MPEG2 from Premiere is that Encore won’t have to transcode it, so burning the DVD will be quick.

Hope that’s helpful.

A real simple solution to the problem with the chapter
skip not working(with the 8 timelines) is to put a
chapter marker at the end of each timeline in Encore.
If there is only one chapter marker in the timeline,
then there isn’t anything for the chapter skip to do
when you press it on the remote. I’ve done this before
and link timelines, works great!!

I tried this with no luck. The mpeg2 did not bring the Chapter Markers into encore.
What am I doing wrong.

[Mark Weaver]

To export an MPEG from PPro and have the chapters
appear in Encore, you must give the chapter a
name and copy that same name to the comments section.
For some reason, if I don’t do this, then the Chapters
are lost in the MPEG video.

Thanks Mark. It worked perfectly.
