Oh, I posted this in the Premiere forum because I read somewhere there is a way to burn a DVD straight from Premiere, but I can’t find it. The article I read was dated 2013, so it may be different now.

Alright, well, no luck with anything so far. It still works on AE CC, the previous version. So I am just going to deal with it. If I want to add lens flares, I’ll render out a video file with CC 2014 and then apply the flares to the new video file in CC. It’s just a stupid process…

Update: I Google searched for updates to the Optical Flares plugin, found one from 2013 (I downloaded the plugin originally in 2012), and replaced the old with the new. Success…or so I thought. I am able to see the effect on the Effects list, but when I apply it to a new solid, everything freezes and I have to hard-shut-down AE.
I about about to try just going back to AE CC…

Thanks for the article. I followed its instructions and still no luck.
I tried migrating the settings from AE CC to AE CC 2014. I also tried linking a shortcut from the AE CC Optical Flares folder to the AE CC 2014 Plugins folder. Nothing.
In fact, none of my plugins are showing up. I have lightsaber presets from Video Copilot as well, and they, along with the Optical Flares plugin, are all in the AE CC 2014 folders. But none of them show up. I have restarted AE several times.
Ugh.

It worked! Thanks so much! That’s a very dumb solution, haha. But good to know, I guess.

Re-installed and burning now. We’ll see what happens…

No, I have not. I will try that, if I can find the disc it came on. Is the installation for that on the same CD as the installation for Vegas? Because I don’t see a separate installation disc for DVD Architect Studio in the box Vegas came in.
Thanks.

Sorry it took so long. It’s finals week here in Oregon…
Here are screenshots of each screen I go through before rendering.
The main render list, from which I select the video output:

The “audio” tab in the video output customization:

Selecting the audio output (it will not let me customize):

I believe I have followed the instructions you gave me, but when I render with these, DVD Architect Studio will not accept SOMETHING.
I am beginning to think it is just the audio that is the problem. I watched DVD Architect Studio render to “prepare” for burning (like watching paint dry…) last time, and it got all the way through the video just fine. But it immediately gave me the “unsupported format” error once it tried to start rendering the audio.
I have tried every possible audio output Vegas has to offer, and none work…
Is there something I need to customize within the audio settings? I don’t really know anything about bitrates. But it seems like it just doesn’t like any audio filetype whatsoever. No idea what to do.
Thanks for your help.
