Hi Caroline,
Try this – copy and paste the title, then double click the copy to open in Titler, then click the button for “Create new titled based on current”. Modify the text and exit Titler (new title gets added to bin). Right-click on copied title on timeline, and select “Replace with Clip from Bin”. This should update clip to NEW title text, while keeping current effects attributes.

$29.00 for a DVD player.
Good to have on hand for proofing DVD’s if you burn any – can’t trust software players since they will play non-compliant material, best to use an actual player like your clients will be using.

I think Gary is on the right track because as I was reading the thread that is what I was thinking the whole time – “Has he tried the DVD in a DVD player yet?”, then I got to Gary’s reply.
Just because there is a “sound file” on the DVD, it COULD be silence!
Since it appears to be a time-coded window dub copy, maybe there is no audio included, being just to make decisions about which video clip goes where. Quite simply, stick it in an actual DVD player and see if there is sound – you can’t assume there is.
Thanks

Hi Justin,
Sometimes you may desire to have a still or video clip that is larger than the project size, enabling you to zoom/pan around the image while retaining quality of the extra pixels. Scaling to frame size takes away this benefit, so that is why it’s not “on” universally unless you enable in Prefs, and then you can still change settings on individual clips/pics with the right-click method as needed.

Agreed, the Denoise plug-in takes a seriously long time to render, even on a new computer. Does the entire video NEED denoising, or could you maybe apply that selectively to only clips that need it?
I have a first-generation Core i7-2600 PC and use Red Giant Denoiser II, and a 30 minute 1080i clip takes roughly 15 hours. Can cut that down to 3-4 hours using the serious dual-processor 12-core graphics monster computer at the shop, but you are talking 2 hours of video so quadruple even my best numbers!

Hi Justin,
In Edit > Prefs, check the box for “Scale to Frame Size”. This does not however effect clips already imported. Either re-import, or right-click clip on timeline and manually check the Scale box

I watched the sample several times and see no issue. Are you using the Rectangle tool to make the background? Just drag it out larger than the screen, and set FILL to Black. Not sure how you were creating the black background before

Hi Steven,
I believe the only option in Premiere would be to use the Adobe Motion effect, and manually add keyframes. However, this would be extremely tedious as you’d probably need to move the keyframe EVERY FRAME, and the results would still not come out very well.
Really a job for After Effects using a good motion tracker such as Mocha, which will automate the process and produce very good results (this is what Hollywood uses).
Thanks

Hi John,
I’m not sure the other respondents are understanding the question. What I’m hearing is that from Premiere, you used Adobe Media Encoder to export your files as either “MPEG-2 for Blu-ray” or “H.264 for Blu-ray”, and then Imported them into Encore, is that right? If so, then the video should NOT get transcoded again. However, the .wav audio will be transcoded to Dolby AC-3, but that takes just a few minutes usually.
If this is your workflow, not sure why it is trancoding, but deserves further discussion I think. One thing to check under the hood in Encore is whether it is set to 1440×1080 or 1920×1080 – if the clips don’t match the setting, that might explain the re-encodes.
Thanks
