Right click on the audio clip choose audio channels, then modify the outputs or add a submix track and control the outputs there.

Ouch! Just because PrPro can use them does not mean you should. Especially since you are going to add FX. It’s always faster and will turn out better to transcode long GOP codec into a more edit friendly codec.
Yes use stream-clip and transcode into prores or other Iframe codec, add your FX, and then compress in media encoder or compressor to get mack to mpeg 2.
Do not listen to anyone that says you should use an encoded VOB file to edit with if you have any other available option. Remember that well compressed data to not compres well.

I am not really sure about the reason you would want to use that workflow but that is beside the point as I am sure it is a good one.
What you are asking is beyond the capabilities of any NLE that I know of or even cared to think about, anyway a workaround would be to duplicate the sequence for each section of the timeline that you need and then move the work area around. Open AME the select all of the clips from the project panel and drag them into AME.
You could also cut all of your clips in the timeline and then open each clip in a new sequence, that would not be as cumbersomne as moving the work area and then all of your seq. will be exactly the same length as each clip.
Yes it will take time for AME to scan and link everything from PrPro because it is doing all of the heavy lifting. mileage may vary on the preprocessing speed.
I am guessing that you are sending “selects” to a client?

I saw that in the list but it does not show the compressor type, my thoughts were that this is a field where the user inputs the data but I could be wrong. we might see this in the next release on the 17th of June.

I use the same workflow as Joseph most of the time but sending the file to PrPro using Dynamic link works just as well and then all of the L3 elements are continually editable.
Create your L3 master in AE and then duplicate it for each L3 you need, then you can use DL to send each one to PrPro. If you need to edit the individual L3 right click and edit in AE. This way you can see your updates instantly when you return to PrPro without the need to render out each one first.
Just make sure before you do you final encode from ProPro to set all the AE layers to max quality and the comp resolution to full otherwise PrPro will use the AE settings for render.

Once you use the DynamicLink with replace with AE clips, all the editing of those clips will be done in AE and you can view them in the AE timeline. That is how Dynamic link works.

As per the common opinion, DPI does not matter for your lower thirds. Some screen shots would be nice so we can all see the problem.
Some questions: What colors are you using in your L3’s, what resolution is your sequence and what resolution are your GFX?
Puzzling because my initial thoughts werte the same as Ann’s that your paused resolution was sert lower but as that is not the case… and your video looks sharp.
When you use the title tool your text should be crisp, if you create the L3 in AE and render out using the animation codec your GFX should be crisp ect. You could possibly put and anti aliasing filter on the text to see if that helps but my guess is that there is a mismatch and resize going on with the gfx files. The text from the title tool not looking good is baffling.
Possibly share your workflow with us as well

I am going to assume that you are making a DVD video disk and no matter what program you are using you will want to start with the DVD presets to get you started. From there the settings will be determined on your content.
For a 35 min piece you can use a CBR setting.(Please be aware that most mpeg 2 decoders will not be able to handle data rates over8.5 mb well and will not play back smoothly.) That way you will maximize all of the encoded bits. If your project is in HD you will also need to scale the video to SD ( the preset should take care of that) but also use frame controls and resizing filters and possibly anti aliasing. All of these will add to encoding time but increase quality.
You could also just send your sequence to Encore from PrPro

Whatever the reason the client needs this is neither here nor there. They will see after the files are delivered that it is unreasonable to fit that much data into a 40mb file and have it look good. Make sure to keep notes so you can educate your client for future encoding projects.
For the WMV If you are on a Mac is Episode pro. As it will give you the most options.
When you run your test passes, take a small portion like 10% so you can roughly estimate time and size.
I don’t have any Experiance with wondershare but I would recommend episode pro

You can right click in the bar that contains the names of the metadata columns to bring up the metadata display selections. Not sure if what you are looking for is there but if it is that is where you will find it.
