Chapter points from Premiere timeline?

OK, the truth is I have never run Encore before.
I have Premiere Pro 2.0.
I need to start authoring some DVDs.
I don't think the Authoring capability included within Premiere Pro 2.0 will quite do it for me. So, I'm looking at getting Encore. A couple of questions:
1. When I specify chapter points within the Premiere timeline, can those somehow be imported as chapter points in Encore or do I have to specify the chapter points all over again?
2. What version of Encore should I get? (I'm not even sure any version other than CS3 is available.) If I get CS3, will I need to start using Premiere CS3 as well?
3. I want to have Dolby Digital (AC3) format to save space on the DVD disc. Does Encore take care of this?

Just looking around, I saw that Amazon.com.UK had EncoreDVD 2. Amazon (US), only listed the upgrade. eBay might be a good source, but beware of pirated, bootlegged, etc., versions. Adobe Store does not list it any longer, but there might still be some legit copies hanging about, either privately owned, but never installed/registered/activated, or by retailers, who did not sell every copy, prior to the release of CS3, and the change in packaging.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Transfering Chapter Points to new timeline.

    How do you transfer chapter points from on timeline to another. I want to do this because I have made a mistake in the previous video and you obviously have to re-export it so it becomes a new clip. Thanks.

    Just re-export it with the same name and path as the original clip - Encore will re-read the file the next time you open the project.

  • Chapter Markers from Premiere Pro

    If I put chapter markers in a Pr sequence then use the Dynamic Link to bring the sequence to Encore where I could link to the chapter markers.
    Is it possible to Export -> Media and create a MPEG2-Blu-ray or MPEG2-DVD and import those files into Encore and have those Pr chapter markers available in Encore?

    So the "bad" mpeg sidecar files are from PR CC?
    Can you create a short (2 minutes) sample file with 3 or 4 encore markers, and test it for this error? If you can confirm the error, then upload so I can take a look at the files.
    Do you still have PR CS6 installed at present? If so, can you also export the same short file from PR CS6?

  • Menu Button Links Aren't Lost When Adding Additional Premiere Chapter Points

    I have a single overriding need in Encore. All other enhancements are secondary.
    Problem: If you change Premiere chapter points in a sequence, the Encore menu buttons lose all the chapter point links when the sequence is reloaded.
    Let's look at the work flow for a real world production situation.
    I create a Premiere sequence with 16 sequence markers as chapter points. In Encore, I create a timeline using the encoded Premiere sequence. I then link buttons in a menu to the chapter points in the timeline. My customer reviews the proto and invariably wants the following changes:
    1) Add additional chapter points.
    2) Move existing chapter points.
    3) Add or remove some footage from the Premiere sequence.
    Ideally, I should be able to add or move chapter points in the Premiere sequence including adding or removing footage. Upon entering Encore, Encore should realize from the date of the encoded m2v and wav sequence files used by the Encore timeline that something has changed and reload the modified files into the timeline. By looking at the chapter names in the Premiere sequence, Encore should match the chapter names in the menu buttons with the Premiere chapter names. Encore should then assume that the Premiere chapter points have moved and accordingly have the menu button point to the new location on the timeline (at the appropriate GOP location).

    Use the edit original command.
    Encore takes you into Premiere.
    Move the chapter points to different locations.
    Save
    Export -> Adobe Media Encoder (Use same file name)
    Encore progress bar indicates it is reloading.
    However, the Encore timeline shows the chapter points at the original locations.

  • Encore won't import markers with bluray vid output from Premiere through Media Encoder

    I have a sizeable video project, just completed, that needs to be output to DVD and BluRay.  DVDs are done, no problem - the three timelines are each exported from Premiere by queueing them in Media Encoder. Side-car .xmp files are produced containing the chapter markers, and it all imports into Encore without issue, chapter markers are there, DVD burns successfully, works on DVD players, all good.
    Now for the Blurays.... Same process as before, queueing the same timelines in Media Encoder, this time exporting using the H264 BluRay HD1080i 25 preset, the export works fine, no issues or error messages, but mporting into into Encore (using Import as Asset, Import as Timeline, etc), I get the error:
    "Error parsing MPEG metadata file. Deleting or renaming "E:\YourVid\test.m4v.xmpses" will allow you to import, but any markers will be lost."
    In other words, the markers file is either failing to export crrectly from Media Encoder, or failing to import correctly into Encore, or both.
    I have never had this problem before, but this is the first exporting I have done with the latest versions of Premiere and Media Encoder, ie versions:
    Premiere CC: 2014.1 8.1.0 (81) Build
    Media Encoder CC: 2014.1 Build 8.1.0.122
    Encore CS6: Version 6.0.2.004
    ... on Win 7 Pro 64bit
    Can anyone help?  Are other people having this problem?  Is this a bug with the latest version of Media Encoder and/or Premiere, or is it just co-incidence and something else is the problem?  And most importantly, is there a sensible workaround (ie other than just re-making all the chapter markers in Encore?) Can I export the chapter markers from Premiere into Encore some other way?
    Please help!!!

    Well, I wanted to play with versions and reverting...
    AME version is columns; PR version is rows. The 8.1.0 x 8.1.0 was on my laptop. The rest are desktop, but both are win7. I'm guessing the fault is AME, so I will update AME to 8.1.0 as next step. But no new test till "tomorrow" (even though tomorrow is today!).
    PR CC/AME
    8.0.0
    8.0.1
    8.1.0
    8.0.0
    ok

  • Chapter point End Action not working

    I'm creating a a training DVD in which one timeline has several spots where the DVD should pause while the class discusses the scene that has just played. I've added 5 seconds of black to mark those spots, and at the beginning of the black I have a chapter point that has an End Action to go to a menu with a "Continue" button. At the end of the black I have another chapter point that the "Continue" button links to. On one of the point that route to the "Continue" menu, it doesn't route to the menu, but just jumps back to the last chapter point...essentially looping that section. It doesn't do this when I "Preview" from the main menu...all works correctly there, but when I Build the project to DVD Folders and play on my PC, that's when it happens.
    Steve Brame

    Nope...no overrides are set. I have several other chapter points on the timeline that are set up identical to this one, and they link correctly to their respective menus...only this one didn't. I deleted the point and recreated it and now it works. I'd noticed several other Chapter Point issues here that were solved by this action.
    Thanks!

  • Using same chapter points for separate projects

    When I use the "Replace Asset" operation to replace one video asset on a timeline with another of the same format, the chapter points remain unchanged. This is a very useful feature, because often one needs to make some minor changes to a video asset (e.g., to correct an mistake), and it's nice not to have to redo all the chapter points on the timeline.
    But it seems that it isn't possible to replace a video asset of one format with the same video asset encoded in another format. Nor can I take chapter points and move them or share them between timelines or projects.
    Any way around this problem? I'm getting tired of having to replace chapter points and relink them with menu buttons because I can't figure how to share them between projects, titles, timelines, or do a simple Replace between differing video formats.

    You can replace with different formats as long as the audio matches.
    For example, you can't replace an .avi file (which has PCM audio) with an elementary .m2v mpeg video stream (which doesn't have audio at all), or with a muxed .mpg file that has .ac3 audio. But you can replace that .avi file with a muxed .mpg file that has PCM audio. My tests reveal that you also have a little more "audio latitude" when replacing .mpg files with .wmv files.
    You cannot share assets or objects between projects in CS3 or earlier. You can't do it in CS4 either, but because of the new dynamic link with Premiere Pro, you import a Pr sequence without having to render to an intermediate mpeg or avi or mov file. That makes the replace asset issue moot, because any change you make to the Pr sequence is immediately updated in Encore's timeline.

  • Exporting Final Cut Chapter Points to Encore

    Blu-ray question.
    I'm creating a bluray in Encore cause Apple hasn't gotten their act together yet.
    What is the best way to get your chapter points from Final Cut to Encore? Or do you export as a self contained movie, import the file into Encore then create your chapter points?
    What is your workflow?
    Thanks.
    D.D.
    Message was edited by: thedirtyduo

    Do you mean "Markers List As Text" option?
    I used that, but when I imported that doc into Encore it said: "the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem."
    Am I doing this right?
    Thanks

  • Play movie from Premiere on PC to 1080p HDTV

    I am creating a short "film" that I wish to play straight out of my computer via the hdmi port to a 1080p monitor.  How can I do this while maintaining good quality?  I did a test, creating a few 1920 x 1080 psds with some text, etc., music underneath, and used premiere pro cs4 &media encoder to create an AVI file.  The avi file looks terrible of course when played on the TV - text is blurry - basically the same as when I used to work with CRT TVs & premiere 6.  Plus, all of the premiere pro menus,etc., are on the screen which i don't want.
    Is there a way to play straight from premiere or encore to a 1080p monitor without seeing any premiere palettes or any other windows on the screen - just the movie playing?  With great quality / crisp text? Opsys = windows XP sp3.
    The reason I want to go straight to the monitor is I don't have a blu ray drive or the knowledge of how to properly encode one yet.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    -Mark

    I am not sure whether this will help.
    You may need to configure display for two monitors when starting a new project in premiere. In the general tab select Playback Settings and then external device. That way you should be able to view your program monitor from premiere timeline to your TV in full quality.
    I hope this helps.

  • Feature Request:  Modify Audio Channels from the Timeline in Premiere CC.1

    Why have we never been able to modify audio channels once a clip is added to a sequence?  I'm guessing there's a good reason Adobe has never had this feature.  The lack of this feature is explicitly mentioned a few times in the audio section of the Premiere Pro CC manual, as if it's a benefit NOT to have it.  But the benefit is entirely lost on me. 
    In my workflow, I synchronize my double-system video and audio before anything else.  I do this in PluralEyes (and unfortunately I'll have to keep doing it this way, until PPr's sync on sound feature gets fixed—for me it's never worked).
    Once PluralEyes has synched hours of footage and audio and placed it on a PLURALEYES GENERATED sequence, I import that sequence into Premiere.  Note:  Since I haven't gone through the step of creating a blank New Sequence, I don't get the opportunity to setup my audio channels the way I'd like in my sequence (i.e. Stereo recordings should occupy ONE track, not two.  Typically these tracks come from a camcorder and are used for reference sound, or ambient noise at best, so I don't need them taking up precious real estate in my sequence). 
    Since PluralEyes doesn't merge my clips for me (or rather I don't want it to since I'm usually doing multi-cam sequences where I want to keep all 14, or so, tracks of audio), I have to go through the clips one by one and do a Merge Clip action once I've adjusted any minor sync issues, or determined which tracks I actually want to keep.  But, and here's the key, at this stage I'm not yet 100% certain whether I'll use the nat sound or the wireless mic sound (separate audio recorder, etc).  Furthermore, I don't really want to think about that at this point.  After I've spent a few mind-numbing hours just ingesting files, sync and merges, I want to jump into the edit as soon as possible, before I lose all will to finish this edit.  If I modify my audio channels right now, I'll lose the ability to make some creative decisions later on.
    I'd like to start whacking out an assembly edit.  And then after I have a rough program, I can start looking at which audio tracks (nat or double-system) I like better in each circumstance.  This is where I become stumped that at this stage, I'm locked into whatever audio channels I've setup (or not) in the earliest stage of the edit, back before any media was actually on the timeline!  It's at this stage, and usually only at this stage that I want to start Modifying Channels—FROM THE TIMELINE!
    Does anyone else feel the same?  If not, what is your workflow?
    Feature Summary:  Right-click on any clip, (master clip, sub-clip, merged, nested or otherwise) in the timeline and choose Modify > Audio Channels.
    I've submitted a feature request, with a link back to this discussion, so please pipe in—especially if you want this feature. 

    Maybe its your specific workflow, asset mangement  and use of a 3rd party application that  runs you into an issue.
    Take Pluraleyes out of the equation, I would imagine my workflow is the same as most everyone else.  Find footage in the Media Browser.  Import it.  Create a Sequence and start editing.  Use the Source Monitor to set Ins and Outs and then Insert the clip on the timeline. 
    At this point, if the audio needs to be modified, it cannot be done on the Timeline.  The workaround, of course, is to Find Clip in Project; Modify Audio in the Project panel; then do a Matchframe to replace the audio clip.  This works, but requires many steps per clip.  Also, Matchframe in Premiere Pro CC is not reliable. 
    Introducing a new Modify Audio (from Timeline) feature as seen in the fantasy screenshot above would solve it.
    I dont use Pluraleyse ...which I understand to be a synching aid...so I dont know the workflow it imposes on one .
    Returning to Pluraleyes workflow, this issue is compounded by the need to Modify almost ALL audio.  Every stereo track is separated and placed on two MONO tracks taking up precious real estate.  This is not something Pluraleyes imposes.  It is due to the way Premiere imports XML timelines.  This would apply to sequences imported from Final Cut as well.
    In this case it would be ideal to select both the LEFT and RIGHT mono tracks and choose "Modify > Audio Channels > Merge L/R Mono to a Single Stereo track."  Ideal?  No.  I guess Ideal would be if Premiere would interpret XML files properly in the first place.
    What actually is the issue with Premieres synch and merge workflow in your case?
    Audio Sync in Premiere Pro doesn't work.  Period.

  • Chapter markers don't appear in Encore after Export from Premiere

    I have to admit that I am really frustrated by this whole Adobe Cloud. Every time I 'upgrade' to the latest version, there is some new bug that REALLY hampers my workflow, and in the meantime I find no new features that are really all that useful to me right now.
    Here is the latest: After creating chapter markers in Premiere and exporting the timeline as an m2v, I bring the file into Encore and none of my chapter markers are there. This worked up to two days ago right before I 'upgraded'. Is anyone else experiencing this?
    Also, if I export a file that uses the Warp Stabilizer effect, the word "Stabilizing" appears on the output during any clips that use it. This was a little embarrassing to discover after I sent out a DVD to a client. I have found a work around for this, but seriously WTF??
    I don't feel confident that I should ever upgrade any more, but then what am I paying for?
    Does anyone know if it is possible to revert to an old version once you've upgraded.

    I am on a Mac 10.9.3, but I don't think that would have anything to do with it. I did output an .mp4 last night and brought it into Encore and the cahpter markers came in fine. So it must be something about the m2v file it doesn't like. Obviously, .mp4 is not the ideal way to bring the file into Encore because then the program has to transcode again, but yet another work around I have to come up with to make up for the program's shortcomings.
    I will open another thread about the "Stabilizing" issue.
    Thanks.

  • Encore CS3 Is Stuck Importing As Timeline from Premiere CS3

    I just purchased CS3 as an upgrade from CS2 and Exported to Encore from Premiere CS3. I've gotten to the screen that says Importing at Timeline and have been at 49% progress for over 30 minutes. The .m2V, .m2v.xmpses, .wav, and .xmp files were all created but I'm stuck here with the Import.

  • Problem setting chapter points at exact locations in timeline

    When I go to a place in my timeline where I want to add a chapter point sometimes the point is placed behind or before my desired selection. I expand the timeline to make sure that I'm at the correct location, but nonetheless the chapter point is not placed where I want it. When I try to drag the chapter point to my desired place, it doesn't stay...either going back to where it was previously or jumping to another point. Any suggestions to get the chapter points exactly where I want them?

    Yes - import an AVI or MOV file instead of MPEG-2.
    MPEG-2 files are encoded with GOP headers, and any chapter you add will be placed on the GOP header (that's how DVD-Video chapters work), but if you use AVI or MOV instead, you can place a chapter wherever you want it and when Encore transcodes the video to MPEG-2, it will create a GOP header at the chapter point frame.

  • Chapter points in timeline slip by minutes...

    I'm working on a 2 hour single timeline with 5 chapters. (DVD-9) I place a chapter point at the beginning of each scene. During the Encore 2.0 preview, all chapter points hit the correct point on the timeline. But after burning the DVD, chapter points 1, 2, and 5 all hit correctly, but chapter points 3 and 4 go to a location a few minutes before the actual point where the marker is. All the poster marks do play at the correct points in the chapter menu.
    I've tried .mV2, .mpg and Encore 2.0 avi encoded file and all with the exact same results. Have even re-built the DVD in a new Encore file.
    Anyone out there have any ideas?

    Use the button in the Timeline panel.
