Got it, thanks! I wasn’t sure how to get it out of Premiere into Encore. In the past I always used the simple Export to Encore and it did its thing. With CS5 Premiere, Export to Encore is gone, there’s just the “Adobe Dynamic Link>send to Encore” command and when I used that my audio wouldn’t work in Encore. At that point, I didn’t know what else to try to get it into Encore, so I used the Media Encoder…

I thought by now, with CS5, they’d have gotten rid of the bugs for the audio not playing!

Thanks again for the help, any other comments are much appreciated.
Cheers,
Eric

I don’t know what part of the project needs to be encoded and there are no menus. I’m just trying to kick out a very simple dvd – just chapter markers (I set end action back to timeline.)

I came out of CS5 media encoder, think I asked for H264 and it did its thing and gave me an mp4 file, which I then brought into Encore.

Join https://www.Lynda.com for a month, it’s very reasonably priced (like $25 or $30 a month, and you are allowed to join for just a month).

You’ll find everything you need there. It’s a HUGE library of streaming tutorials.

Check them out – they have some free stuff up there.

Just scroll through their library – it will blow you away.

Good luck,
Eric

I’m not sure, but it doesn’t make sense that premiere and encore both can handle HD and Blu-ray, both extra frames and volume, yet not be able to handle the extra bit depth for sharper color…something doesn’t add up (imo), but I can’t point you where to look. That’s the whole point of handling HD and Blu-ray I thought?

Please let me know if you find something!

Cheers,

Same camera my photographer used!

Okay, so I went in to my TIF files properties and see that my bit depth is 24 bit. Is this the same thing as just ‘bit’, bit depth I mean?

Regardless, I’m just thankful my Encore CS4 took them and I could output. I have no idea why you’re having problems with the bit issue.

If you’d like, you can tell me where I can go to make sure I’m verifying properly the bit size of my TIF files?

Cheers,

Chris,
Hi, I figured out that the problem on my end was the pixel ratio/size of the photos I was trying to import. Video likes 720×480. Unfortunately Encore was telling me it was a software/codec problem. What I wound up doing was going into photoshop and bringing up “Image Size” (I think it’s Ctrl+Alt+I shortcut) and resizing every photo I wanted to bring into the Encore slideshow to 720×480.

Here’s the link that helped me figure it out:

https://www.layersmagazine.com/creating-a-dvd-slide-show-with-encore-dvd-and-photoshop-cs2.html

As soon as I changed the pixel ratio, it took my photos and worked just fine.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Okay, I finally got a different pixel ratio jpeg to import, but I can’t find anywhere (on the web) what pixel ratio(s) encore prefers – I need to know so I can have photoshop do a batch process on my entire slideshow photo folder.
Thanks!
