As Craig said, you’ll definitely need a clean frame underneath, but you could also try the RotoBrush on the main clip to see if it can key out the background totally. I’ve got a feeling that some of the logo will survive the RotoBrush, but it might knock down the amount of hand roto you have to do.

Here’s an interesting video “how-to”. If you can get past the presentation factor, which may require several views of the video, this is one of the most comprehensive and clear videos on how to accomplish the ‘cove’ portion of the wall corner.

DVD can only contain MPEG-2 encoded files, so if you use the current H.264 files for a DVD project Encore will just transcode them to MPEG-2. You can just transcode them to MPEG-2 files at the same time in Squeeze – it had a selection of DVD presets.

I would also try saving to another drive, perhaps your system drive, to rule out any problems with the Drobo or firewire bus.

As far as on-disc labeling, many inkjet printers have an option to print directly on a disc, albeit one at a time, but for 80 that wouldn’t be so bad. However, this will also be generally water soluble, unless you use a disc that is specifically resistant, such as JVC’s Watershield brand.
We use Primera’s Bravo 4100 disc printer, with fantastic quality. I’ve also printed discs, with my Epson Artisan 837 with equally good quality, albeit very slowly.

Yep..the extension. The service itself looks wonderful. Definitely going to give it a try. Luckily, the Micro Plan may work for our needs.

Wow! This video shows the function of the extension for Creative Suite, but it appears to only work with the print side, not the video side. If they could add functionality to Premiere and AE it would be great!

Yes, I believe that’s the typical way in PPro. BTW, I just did a highly non-scientific test of the two methods I described.
I took a 1080p AVCHD clip, and created 2 sequences with it. One sequence was created at the same settings as the clip. The other was SD, where I scaled the HD clip down 46%. Encoded both sequences in Adobe Media Encoder using the same MPEG2-DVD preset. I placed titles over each, one white, one black, one white on a black box, and one black on a white box.
Result? After watching several times, I couldn’t really tell the difference between the 2. Neither could several others who were at the studio that day. However, the SD sequence with the scaled down HD clip encoded in 34 secs, while the HD sequence encoded in over 2 minutes.

I’ve done it both ways, downconverting an HD timeline to an SD timeline in PPro, then encode to DVD MPEG2, as well as simply encoding an HD timeline to DVD-MPEG2. I’ve never really done a side by side comparison, so I can’t really offer testimony on which is better. It would be interesting to hear if anyone else has any input.

I generally use Adobe Media Encoder to encode a PPro sequence or batch of sequences to a DVD preset that I have customized – no need for a middle step. Then import those encodes to Encore as timelines. If done correctly, Encore will label the media “Don’t Transcode”, meaning that they are in correct format for DVD.
Alternately, you can simply set Adobe Media Encoder to be the default encoder inside Encore, and bring your PPro sequence directly into Encore without pre-encoding. Encore will then transcode to whatever Media Encoder preset you chose.
