I’m having subtitle troubles too. My problem is when I add a subtitle track to a timeline in my project the project refuses to “Preview from here”, giving me “Unknown error (DVD Error -1)”.
I searched Adobe’s Encore User Forum and found one thing that worked for me (at least so far, I’m not finished with the project yet). The suggestion was to start with a new project, create a new timeline, and add a subtitle track before doing anything else. I’ve had to recreate my project, and so far subtitles are working fine.

This doesn’t do a thing to help out with an pre-existing project like yours, but hopefully it will help someone out there that is having the problem I am.

Do you know if I can use Gear Pro for Mastering to add CSS to my finished Encore project?

Thanks,

Matrox is saying they’ll have a preview release will be available in February. You can read about it on their website.

Can you “replace all” in notepad to fix all occurances in one shot?

You should be able to open the .edl file in a text editor and then use find and replace to rename the tape. I tested with this in notepad and it worked fine.

Good Luck,

My business produces both video and print. I have been a staunch supporter of Adobe products for years. In fact I’ve never used a competing product (except for Flash when Live Motion development ended).
I own the following Adobe products:
Creative Suite 2 Premium
Premiere Pro 1.5
After Effects 6.5 Professional
Encore 1.5
Audition 1.5

It looks like my lowest cost upgrade path is $999 because of Creative Suite 2 Premium. I can’t believe I wont get credit for owning actual video products. If I upgrade each of my video apps separately it will cost me $676, but that leaves me without the new Dynamic Link. So Dynamic Link would effectively cost me $323.
I really dislike the idea of paying twice for an application (i.e. Photoshop and Illustrator). Being forced into a bundle means this is exactly what I’ll have to do, since you can’t buy Dynamic Link by itself.
This is expensive enough to make me take pause and consider other options.

I sincerely hope Adobe will consider more comprehensive updgrade paths.

A few months ago I did some work for a client that had DCVPRO50 footage. The client exported the footage as a sequence of uncompressed .png files. When I was finished with my work I sent the output back as a .png sequence.

This worked fine for a relatively small project.

Good luck,

I use the Matrox RTX 100 card and had the same problem. I unstalled the After Effects plugin and use export via 1394 to view the previews. This solved the problem (as I’m sure you’ve tested and discovered by now!). If you find another fix, let me know.

I don’t know of any transitions that will do this, however there is a tutorial here that might give you the effect you are looking for.

Good luck,

Thanks for the help. Now I’m cookin’ with gas!
