    Hi there,

    I’m a regular user using PPro 1.5 for some time now. I’ve seen TotalTraining and Lynda to get me started. But the one thing i’m missing is a guide/hint for a good workflow.
    Let’s say, the steps from master-tape to DVD or other media.

    Currently we do (mostly dvd-productions):
    – Capture entire tape using PPro or Scenalyzer
    – Making the montage:
    – Scenes
    – Titles
    – Transitions
    – Export to AVI (DV)
    – Import in Encore (this is not my favorite program, but ok)
    – Make DVD

    Are there any guide on the net that can explain different strategies or workflows? Perhaps you guys here any suggestions?
    What DVD-authoring you use? (Rumors say there might be DVD-authoring inside PPro 2.0, 17th of january)

    Regards,

    Gerwin

    We export the MPEG-2 for DVD from Premiere – personal preference, just make sure Encore doesn’t try to fill the DVD with video. I like to be able to make a DVD image without first having to transcode the video.

    Thanx, but actually i asked the workflow till the burning part.
    So… lets say you have all shots on tape and got them on HD.
    Where to go from there. Which are the best steps to follow

    Gerwin,

    What part of the workflow are you asking about? Exporting to MPEG 2 instead of DV avi is part of what you list in your workflow. Export to MPEG 2 instead of crappy DV then recompress to MPEG 2 in Encore. Encore is fine for most all DVDs, you just need After Effects and a good Photoshop artist to make them slick.

    By making the montage, do you mean a rough cut? A montage is a specific type of scene. Are you asking if you should do titles before transitions? Do you do color correction? What about audio editing?

    Currently we do (mostly dvd-productions):
    – Capture entire tape using PPro or Scenalyzer
    – Making the montage:
    – Scenes
    – Titles
    – Transitions

    – Import in Encore (this is not my favorite program, but ok)
    – Make DVD
