Export movie from Premiere for import into Encore

I created an animation in 3D Studio MAX and rendered it to sequential stills for compositing in Premiere Pro 1.5. I want to export it out so it's ready for inport into Encore 2.0. I understand that Encore compresses it to MPEG-2 format while it is building the DVD. What is the best CODEC to use exporting it OUT of Premiere to get the best quality out of Encore DVD? Do I use Adobe Media Encoder or would AVI or QT give me better quality once Encore crunches it since AVI and QT are not as compressed as MPG? If AVI or QT is better, which CODEC works best Sorenson 3, Cinepak, Indeo...? Does Encore 2.0 offer VBR 2 pass?
Also, This DVD will be primarily played off of a PC so is "Progressive" the default out of Encore or is "Interlaced" From what I read, progressive is for computers and Interlace is for TV. Is that correct?
I've been reading some of the Adobe Primers on Encoding video, wow that stuff is deep...... Some what little to deep and a little too confusing.
Thanks for your words of wisdom,
Kenn Macintosh

Personally, I would export as a movie, using the MS DV-AVI type of export. Set the Audio to PCM 16/48, unless you have bought the SurCode Dolby Digital encoder.
When you import this into Encore, it will give you much better control over where you place chapter points and additionally Encore will - if you let it - use automatic transcoding for the final MPEG-2 compresssion.
The reason I suggest this is because MPEG-2 encoding is every much an art form as the filming, editing & cutting process and major studios employ people who do nothing other than encoding. It is
i unbelievably
easy to create an MPEG-2 stream that is not DVD-Video compliant.
Don't use progressive, stick to interlaced.
Progressive scan modes open up whole cans of worms.....
Good Luck.

    Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
    It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
    I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1  Lightroom is version 5.7  Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4

  • Adobe Dynamic Link or Export from Premiere and load into Encore?

    Hi
    I'm making some tests about authoring DVDs and Blu-Rays from Encore CS6. My video editions are made in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.
    Looks like I have 2 ways to send contents from Premiere Pro to Encore.
    1) I can set all my editions in Premiere Pro, then Export the entire timeline to a MPEG-2 DVD or MPEG-2 BLU-Ray file, then start a new Encore project and import this video file as a timeline.
    2) I can finish my editions in Premiere Pro, then use the Adobe Dynamic Link > Send to Encore options. So, it's not necessary to export files, since the task of transcoding is an Encore's task.
    Question is: Any advantage of using way 1 or 2??? Thinking about speed to finish the job, is one way better than other?
    What do you use do choose?
    Thank you for these tips
    Gustavo.

    Hi Stanley
    Thank you very much for your tips. Just one thing:
    In Premiere we can choose, for Blu-Rays, the MPEG-2 or H.264 codecs. You mentioned the H.264 Bly-Ray choice.
    Any advantage regarding the H.264 instead of the own MPEG-2 coded?
    Best Regards and thank you very much again.

  • Workflow for exporting xml from Excel and importing into table in InDesign

    Hello,
    I have worked out how to get data from a .xlsx into a table in InDesign. However, the workflow is still a little clunky and I am looking for way to automate the process further. My current workflow is as follows (files can be download here: http://visual360.co.uk/xml.zip)
    xml is exported from .xlsx by mapping the schema (see what_I_get.xml)
    assign tags to table and individual cells in InDesign
    This is the clunky bit: edit the what_I_get.xml to:
    remove the indentation (this seems necessary as otherwise when I get to stage 4, all the imported text is also indented)
    add tag for table in InDesign (p10_table)
    add tags for individual cells (p10_c11 etc.)
    import the produced what_I_want.xml in the structure panel of InDesign.
    Can anyone point me in the direction of how to automate step 3 above?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nick

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks very much for the reply. I am not at all familiar with XSL/XSLT. I have given it a quick google and it seems like it could be quite a steep learning curve to master. Maybe if I explain the whole context here, it may allow you to point me in the direction of a tutorial that provides a step by step approach to achieve my final goal. Alternatively, you may be able to suggest a whole new workflow.
    I am in the process of updating this document: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/students/insessional/assets/documents/IS_Brochure_2014-15.pdf
    The tables on pages 10-21 contain lots and lots of repeated information. We want the layout to in this format so that each group of students has all the information relevant to them on a single double spread. However, the challenge of using this approach is that it is very high maintenance to ensure the duplicated information is kept in sync - even using a copy / paste approach.
    I was hoping to overcome this by using a single source of data (eg. a spreadsheet) which would then feed into the InDesign. This workflow seems to be overcomplicated by the apparent need to use xml as the "middle-man".
    Ideally, I would like to press the export button in Excel and get this information into the the correct cells in the tables on pages 10-21 without a significant amount of manual labour - after all, my reasons for investigating an automated approach in the first place was to avoid the manual entering of data ie. the scope for error...
    An alternative approach maybe to skip Excel altogether and just use .xml. However, I am not sure that this is possible as Indesign only seems to allow you to import each element once. Maybe you could correct me here...
    I am happy to invest a certain amount of time in developing this approach as once it is in place, it will save a huge of proof-reading time year after year, especially as inconsistencies still persist despite our best efforts to weed them out.
    If you could let me know your thoughts on this and maybe identify a tutorial that would help me, I would be extremely grateful.
    Thanks again!

  • Exporting movies from FCP to go into Avid

    I've just been told that the guy making the actual DVD of my current programme is using Avid - so I need to export my finished movies in the best format for him to import.
    Which format should I choose for maximum quality and minimum hassle at his end?
    Tom

    No this is just a miniDV project - Corporate website thing.
    Obviously I want to give him the highest spec possible (the clips are edited and finished, just need putting into the dvd and web version).
    I'm assuming Export > Quicktime Movie is the best quality, but this makes a file called Final Cut Pro Movie, with the FCP icon and with no .mov on the end.
    I'm fairly sure that other systems can't read these. (They are what I use when I'm making DVDs myself, however).
    I can use Quicktime with Conversion of course, where I think MPEG-4 is the best available, but he now tells me he wants Quicktime files.
    Now. If I open a 339.4 MB Final Cut Pro Movie in Quicktime, then Save As a Quicktime, it makes a 'proper' Quicktime movie, with the correct icon and .mov on the end - but the file is now only 12 KB, so obviously it's been compressed.
    I need to send him QT movies at the best res, that he can open on an Avid.

  • Exporting project from Premiere Pro CS3 to Encore CS3

    If I export and specify no menues and specify burn, medium quality to DVD, Encore asks me to insert blank media into a CD R/W drive. I have to cancel the operation and select the DVD R/W drive that is also displayed in the device delection.. How do I make it default to the DVD R/W drive when asking for blank media?

    Starting with a search is always a good idea... here is some previous discussion

  • Exporting movies from Premiere Elements 4.0 to Apple TV

    I've made a movie in Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0, and would like to view it on my Apple TV. I've saved the video as a quicktime MOV file, but iTunes tells me that this type of file can not be view n the TV.
    Any ideas?

    Unfortunately .mov doesn't tell us much about the type of compression used for the video and audio portions of your movie, .mov is merely a container that can hold any number of different compression types.
    I don't use premier so I'm not too sure of what options are on offer, but basically your movie needs to have the following properties.
    Video codec - AVC/h264 (max profile main L 3.1), Audio codec - AAC LC
    Resolution - 720p @ 24 or 25 fps, 960 x 540 @ 30 fps
    Bitrate - < 5 Mbps
    If you open the movie in QT and select 'window/show inspector' you can see what properties your movie has.

  • How to export projects from imovieHD and import into imovie 09

    Hi- I need to export my projects with timeline, audio, transitions (everything) in such a way that they will open in in imovie 09, and allow me to continue working on these projects without having to rebuild titles, transitions etc..
    Is this possible in ANY way at all?

    Hi
    No - this function doesn't exist AT ALL.
    Not even if You got FinalCut Express or Pro - This doesn't work.
    Advice. Keep project on one platform from start to finish.
    • Never up-date anything during process - Pro way of working.
    Only Export function - does only move raw unedited material at it's best.
    If going to FinalCut from iMovie HD 6 or prev one can copy back to Camera and use
    this as a base (track 1) and re-build movier ontop of this. But still not easy.

  • Odd frames added to start of audio export from LPX when imported into FCPX

    Running into a weird issue exporting audio out of Logic Pro (10.0.6) for import into FCPX (10.1.1) - Logic is introducing extra frames (varies between 2 to 4 frames) at the front of exported audio, becomes detectable when imported back into FCPX.
    I do a lot of work where I sync music performances on camera that are recorded in audio and MIDI, and have to deliver remixed audio with picture AND a .MID file that all sync. Workflow used to be shoot video on a C100 and another DSLR with either an audio feed or live mic patched to the camera, while Logic recorded the MIDI performance and any ambient audio via separate mics and pres. Shoot always had some kind of "slated" start marker on camera, in camera audio, and in Logic. Camera edits were edited in FCPX, exported as a Quicktime with the "slate" for a start marker, then audio and MIDI handled in Logic.
    This always used to work thru to last fall, when we took a hiatus.
    Upon resuming some final shooting in the last two weeks, our audio edits are always running 2-4 frames behind FCPX. It's a consistent offset for an entire export (so there's no drift, no jitter within the files - but the slate tones might be 2 frames and 17 subframes behind and the whole audio file runs behind.) Another export might be 3 frames 2 subframes behind. Always kind of random in the amount of drift - but never more than 4 frames.
    Tried a test where I imported just the camera audio in Logic as an extracted audio track, then exported same audio file back to the Quicktime but left the original audio in the video - Logic's exported audio ran behind sync from the original.
    Obviously, I'm paying attention to frame rates, sample rates, etc.
    As a test, I exported an XML out of FCPX, imported it into Logic, performed some edits, and used the File>Export>Project to FinalCut Pro XML - so everything matched across the board. Opened the export in FCPX - audio ran behind sync again.
    If it was just audio I was concerned about, I'd just line it up in FCPX and call it done - but my exported MIDI file NEEDS to be in sync with the picture AND the audio... and wasting time calculating the Logic offset error is a huge detour from getting this work done quickly.
    I thought maybe there could be a plug-in issue, but it happened even in the extracted audio from the Quicktime with no plug-ins in any of the signal chains.
    Any ideas?

    Well… here's a clunky workaround.
    It's either a problem with the exported FCPX-XML or the way Logic Pro X interprets the XML.
    The simple test here was to put a clip in the FCPX timeline and export it as an AIFF and then export an XML too.
    Import the XML into Logic, then import the AIFF as a new track. By default the Logic project is 120BPM. By analyzing the xml-based track and the aiff track, the xml track has an added 164 ticks to the beginning of the referenced video-audio.
    Move the playhead to zero, zoom in to the timeline and drag the tick field to 164 then blade all your tracks, then click/drag the bladed tracks to zero. Voila!
    It seems to only affect the first audio file. So for example, when I have 10 video clips in my FCPX timeline, only the first audio clip has the added 164 ticks.
    Now on to the next challenge…
    It's not enough to just de-compound your clips because L and J cuts get referenced to the VIDEO, not the audio underneath.
    So… In FCPX you MUST select each clip and choose Break Apart Clip Items from the Clip Menu. Perhaps this is old news but thought I'd mention it here in case others were having problems.
    Let's hope Apple steps up their xml game and realizes that when I choose export XML-Audio from the xml popup menu… I want it to send the duration of the audio, not the duration of the attached video.
    Ergh! Well… as my friends say… "We're still in the stone age with all this technology."
    Happy editing all!

  • Can I sync or import movies from VUDU or Flixter into my Itunes account?  If so how do I do it?

    Can I sync or import movies from VUDU or Flixter into my Iturnes?  If so how do I do it?

    I to would love to know if anyone has found a way to do this.... I purchased several bluray dads, and normally the software gives you the option to use the "ultraviolet" streaming and/or download a copy to iTunes, but these all seem to be Flixter or nothing. I contacted the folks at "UV," "Flixter" and Warner Bros as well, and they all told me "tough luck" on my request to get iTunes versions. Flixter even went so far as to tell me, "...we cannot provide digital copies in every media format for certain films for a variety of logistical reasons." which is total BS, and they know it.
    The problem I have is that SOME of these bluray DVDs offer the option of iTunes and other do not, but this is NOT specifically identified on the package -- you really don't have any way of knowing until you open the package and attempt the download. Some will offer you the choice, others will not, but the package, in my experience, never says, 'This will NOT work with iTunes."
    This really should be the foundation for a class-action lawsuit against the studios who do this BS "bait and switch" to try to force you to use a less then desirable format or poor quality 'streaming' service. I realize the studios want to make more $$ and that means screwing over Apple/iTunes and by default the consumer, by forcing a shoddy product they make more profit on.... No different than an electronics store pushing you to purchase 'brandX' because it has a higher profit margin for them... except that YOU HAVE THE CHOICE.
    Apple could make a killing by accepting their codes for discounts on the iTunes versions... say half-price... just a thought.
    But seriously, to all those out there, this really should be put into a class action suit..... I would be on-board.

  • I have exported movies from old digital camera - how do I ensure it goes into the correct year (eg. 2005)  Thank You

    Some exported movies from old digital have gone into the incorrect year.  How can I move them around into the correct year or at the very least move them in the current year but in chronological order eg under 2011 I have listed them as 2004 - blah blah, 2005 blah blah but they are "all over the place".  Thank You

    There are two ways to do this.
    The simplest is to right-click on the clip in the Event and modify the date.
    See iMovie Help here http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6c398
    If you have a long clip that you would like to split into smaller clips, there is another way. You can drag the long clip into a free tool called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. In MPEG Streamclip, put your playhead on the in point of your first smaller clip and type I. Then set the playhead on the out point of your first smaller clip, and press O to set the out point. Then FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. If your clip is DV, As you save the clip, rename it in the form clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss.ext, where the word "clip" must be lower case. YYYY is year. hh is hours in 24 hour time.  Then repeat this process until you have all your smaller clips made. Finally, you can import all these clips into an iMovie Event using FILE/IMPORT MOVIES.

  • Export scenarios from XI and import them into PI

    Dear experts
    We are planning to upgrade our exitsting XI 3.0 to PI7.0.
    Due to system requeriments, we need to install PI on new hardware and migrate all the existing scenario's from XI 3.0 PI7.'0
    How to migrate the existing ABAP developements from XI to PI  ?
    It's possible to export scenarios from XI and import them into PI?
    Thanks, in advance
    Carme

    Hi,
    you should go to PI 7.1 and not PI 7.0 otherwise it makes not so much sense.
    And yes it's possible to migrate your scenarios. If you have UDFs you have to check them because the java version has changed.

  • Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

    Hi,
    I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min.  This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes.  I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces.  Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
    Thanks,
    Serena

    There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
    Good luck,

  • Looking for a solution or service to export data from a dynamic form into a database

    As the title of this discussion states, I'm looking for a solution or service to export data from a dynamic form into a database to be used for reporting. Creating the dynamic form is not a problem, it's getting it into a database that's more of a nuisance. A dynamic form is needed in order to provide skip logic, hide/reveal, and other similar dynamic features.
    The database hasn't been created, so just looking for the easiest, more effective and dependable solution. The key is being able to run reports off the data later.

    So i set up 2 residential grade routers to test this out. Seems to be working okayish. I believe with directional antenae routers I should achieve what I need.
    As for security I configured each device separately. I set them so only allow the MAC address of the other through wireless. This seems to be the best system for me. Once they are connected even if a MAC is spoofed of the other router it drops automatically because they are always connected. My wired devices get plugged in and recieve an IP from my main network.
    There more testing to be done, but it seems to be working.
    Thanks for your input and suggestions guys. I will be marking this topic as answered.
