I figured out my mistake/s. I think it was a combo of things like improper transcode settings, a problem with an Encore menu and repeated Encore crashes.
With the help of various threads on this site, I redid the project and finally got a workable, good looking end product. I appreciate your help and I love your forums. Real advice for real folks out here having really frustrating problems. This site is so much more helpful than Adobe’s Encore forum – especially for those of us who do not do video work every day. Your site has allowed me to create a work flow for this project for next year’s show.
Thanks,
RMD
