Encore CS3 Font Selection - No Instant Preview disappointment

It is disappointing that I need to open a different application rather make my font selection in Encore.
I am supprised Encore CS3 does not have an excellant font preview.
Where are the Architects and Product Owners??? Is it pulling too much functionality into Encore? Are you expecting most edits to be done in Photoshop, so why bother?
Microsoft Word 2007 gives instant feedback as I scroll through my fonts. This is what I would really like to see with both Encore and Photoshop.
And where is the autosave functionality found in Premiere. Two crashes due to msvcr80.dll has taught me to hit ctrl-s frequently.

Steven,
In Encore, make sure the Menu Viewer and the Character panel are visible in their frames.
Use the text tool to highlight the text you want format with a new/different font.
Click in the font name drop down list (not the drop down arrow) and then use the arrow keys to move up or down the font list. As you do so, the highlighted text will change to show you how it will look as each font is selected by the arrow keys.

  • Video looks terrible after imported into Encore CS3

    I have a great looking m2v file (for Blu Ray) that I compressed with Squeeze. After I import it into Encore CS3, it looks poor in preview. The clips starts off with white text on a black background. In preview mode, the text looks aliased or "jagged". I thought this was a preview issue, but it looks just as poor after I burn it to BD-R and play it back on our PS3.
    Encore project specs : 1280 x 720 59.94fps MPEG2
    The specs of my m2v file: 1280 x 720 59.94fps av, bitrate is 28000 kbps.
    Naturally, our client is getting impatient for an explanation. Any help on solving this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vince

    You should wind up with an encoded asset (your clip) as 1920x1080 m2v which should be automatically created, if you use a BluRay Project and select MPEG2 under the project settings.
    Why don't you try that and then burn a BluRay folder and burn the disk with IMGBurn, using a BD-RE disk, so you won't waste money on several BD-R disks?
    I'm not sure where the "encore specs of 1280x720" come in.
    I'd be interested as to how this comes out.

  • How to disable instant preview?

    I've a Q5 with the latest OS upgrade of about 1 GB fone about a week or ten days ago. I'm now unable to disable the instant previews and have tried everything possible. I've even selected the "instant preview off" in the settings menu. It still doesn't diable, and I'm getting bbm instant preview pop ups at the top of the screen which is annoying me. Pls help

  • Bridge CS3 shows different colour on previews when they are selected

    LS,
    Problem, all of a sudden: Bridge CS3 shows different colours on previews when they are clicked and selected. At first, they are ok, they look the same as they are on camera. When I click an image and select it, it looks like there's a colour profile being applied to it, making the colours dull, its also pulls back the contrast of the image. Can this be corrected in prefences or something? So that the previews are the same as non corrected raw processed files?
    David

    Oh, good grief…  Sorry.  I forgot you haven't updated yet.  My bad.  
    In CS3 you'll find the Auto Tone adjustments in the Camera Raw preferences, and the use of high quality in Bridge preferences.  You won't have all the options available in CS4.
    If you are shooting raw, the upgrade to CS4 just to be able to use ACR 5.3 (and now 5.4) is a no-brainer.  Well worth the money.
    If you don't upgrade, you'll be leaving a lot of raw image quality on the table, as Jeff Schewe says. ACR 4.6 is light years behind 5.3 and 5.4.
    In addition, Bridge 2.x (CS3) is easily the worst piece of software ever released by Adobe or any other major software developer.  It should have been fixed for free by Adobe, but shamefully, it wasn't.  I would not hesitate to call it an unusable, worthless piece of cr@p.  Fortunately Bridge 3.x (CS4) is much better.
    However, I repeat:  What you are seeing is perfectly normal, expected behavior.

    Well, let's say this is solved, though not properly.
    If you encounter a "no show" problem like mine, it may be an issue involving theme multi-compatibility with gtk2, 3, metacity and the like.
    Try switching to another theme to see if your system better "support" it, or use separate themes for gtk2 and gkt3.

  • Encore CS3 - Hangs and import problems with menus and avi footage with audio tracks present.

    I'm trying to import some footage files in .avi format into Encore CS3 and am having several problems.
    In what follows when I say "crash" I mean Encore quits with a standard Windows error. When I say "hang" I mean Encore does not quit but rather becomes an unresponsive process that must be killed manually using Windows Task Manager.
    My System:
    WinXP Pro SP2
    2.93 GHz Intel Celeron CPU - single core
    Intel PERL mobo
    3GB 400MHz RAM
    NVidia 7800GS video
    I mention these specs however I am not experiencing any hardware
    related bugs or issues (like out of memory or video driver crashes
    etc) when using any CS3 app.
    The footage files (as reported by GSpot) and problems I am seeing. In all cases GSpot reports that I have the appropriate codec installed:
    footage1.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 192kb/s, 716834 KB
    Attempting to import as timeline causes Encore CS3 to hang.
    Importing as an Asset allows it to import but when I try to click
    on it in the project windown to add it to a new empty timeline,
    Encore hangs. It plays fine in Windows Media Player.
    footage2.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG-1 Layer 3 48kHz 128kb/s, 718302 KB
    Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
    with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
    fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no audio.
    footage3.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 112kb/s, 717606 KB
    Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
    with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
    fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no
    audio. I tried converting this one using AVS to both MPEG3 and DivX,
    each using MPEG1-Layer3 44kHz 192kb/s audio, and got the same issue
    upon importing into Encore CS3. I also loaded it into Camtasia
    Studio and it looked fine over there. The audio was present and I
    was able to export it as a .WAV file. When I tried looking at the
    file in Soundbooth CS3, there was no audio track or, more
    accurately, the audio track was a flat line.
    By way of comparison these are importing perfectly:
    footage4.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Beta2, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 189kb/s Two mono

    Although this one imported & transcoded correctly, when I went to
    build it to a DVD image file I got some strange errors during the
    "planning video" stage that prevented the process from completing.
    Unfortunately I neglected to write down the error message I recieved
    which read like quite nonsensical babble to me, and I have since
    deleted the project folder. I remember it was not a memory or
    display related error and it included a timestamp where the error
    was happening. I played the footage in the preview panel thru the
    identified timestamp but it previewed perfectly without even a
    jitter in either the video or audio. Took forever to transcode so I
    doubt I'll be doing this one again anytime soon.
    Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the

    Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the remote control to make it appear. Other than that it seems to play ok in that player. Also tested it in 2 other DVD players (a Panasonic and Zenith) and it worked just fine like it's supposed to in them. Also plays perfectly in my computer's DVD player/burner using Windows Media Player v10. I tried burning to Memorex +RW single-layer single-sided disks at 6, 7, & 8Mbps project settings but got the exact same result every time.
    Encore CS3 crashes fairly often during authoring, particularly during imports, and when I go to edit things like calling up a timeline in the timeline panel, dragging footage into an existing timeline, or changing button links in a menu etc.. I have also experienced seemingly random hangs even more often, probably 5 or 6 times as often as a crash. Saving the project after every little change I make, then closing and restarting Encore allows me to make progress albeit at a significantly reduced workflow rate. Accessing Photoshop from Encore appears to be working flawlessly so far aside from the slow load times. Encore hangs sometimes during video transcoding, repeat the process and it works ok. If I try to import a menu from the library after importing my footage files, Encore hangs trying to import it either at the 50% mark or the 99% mark (it varies even with the same exact menu selected from the library). If I import the menu first and the footage after, then no problems. Also trying to render motion menus after importing footage causes Encore to hang, render before footage import and everything works ok. Interestingly enough, previewing my project in Encore's monitor or preview panels works perfectly even in High quality mode -- in fact it operates quite smoothly in comparison to other apps I have tried. Although those footage files that had missing audio tracks on import obviously played silently, I have yet to experience a hang or crash during a preview or when scrubbing through a timeline in the monitor panel.
    The last problem I've seen is with the project cache files. It doesn't always get rid of cache files when stuff is deleted from the project. I was working on one project and surprisingly ran out of disk space. When I tracked it down I found that there were some two dozen copies of a footage file I had repeatedly imported and deleted from the project still sitting in the cache folder. The file was an avi about 2GB so it was taking up some 40 GB of disk space for stuff that was no longer in the project. I tried shutting down Encore and manually deleting all the cache files, and that worked for most of them, but there was one 2GB file that kept reappearing in the cache folder even though it was no longer in the project. The XML file in the cache folder still had references to it in there so I can only assume that was the reason it kept showing up. I eventually had to delete and totally recreate the project from scratch to regain my lost disk space. This included having to sit thru a 6 hour long transcoding session which pissed me off to no end.
    Encore CS3 appears on the surface to be a very powerful, feature rich, and approachable app with a simple easy to use interface, but it is awfully bugged in just about every area I have explored and still needs lots and lots of work for it to be really useful. Frankly for me it is pretty damn annoying that I have invested so much money in this suite only to find several of the apps in it (Encore & Premiere in particular) behaving this poorly. In my opinion every single app in the suite exhibits lousy performance whenever you must do anything at all involving the disk from the time you click to start it up until the time you click to close it down. Several of them are just as seriously bugged as Encore too, and being a long time Photoshop v5.5 user I expected much more from Adobe. Even Photoshop is two or three times as slow now (e.g. it takes about 20-30 seconds to simply create an empty 500x500 pixel image file and almost a full minute to load a 30x60 pixel single-layer gif). So far I have attempted to create 6 DVDs using Encore and after 3 weeks of effort have only succeeded in getting one of them onto a final disk -- and that one is kinda limping to work correctly in my DVD player. Three of those projects became so corrupted while working on them that I had to delete them completely and recreate them from scratch, only to find that I still couldn't get them to completion for one reason or another. Seriously disappointing.

  • Internal Software error PGC  for encore CS3 !!! solved  !!!

    Almost everybody here knows the next error:
    PGC "timeline name" has an error at xx:xx:xx:xy internal software error : %0, line timeline name - PGCINFO: name= timeline name, ref=BPGC, time=xx:xx:xx:xy
    Where the y in time stands for the length of the timeline minus 2 frames. The BPGC error can also be FPGC or DPGC dependant on how many menu's there are in the project.
    It kept me awake for weeks and after reading this forum several times and comparing encore CS3 with encore 2.0 filenames I found the solution.
    This Error is a bug in encore witch has nothing to do with blank filename spots and sonic coding or codecs or planning your workflow with a pencil but pure with the combination Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and Encore CS3.
    This is what generates the problem:
    In Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 you build project with video, sound and chapters. Then you export the project via the Media Encoder not Multplexed.
    Premiere CS3 then creates the following files:
    filename.M2V (video file mpg)
    filename.AC3 (audio file ac3)
    filename.M2V.XMPSES (an adobe file with preview info and chapter pointers)
    filname.XMP (??)
    It is the .M2V.XMPSES file witch creates the PGC error. If you use the MULTIPLEX DVD option then ADOBE will not create the .M2V.XMPSES file so there will not be an error. This trick mentioned by ADOBE and many others is just to go around the bug instead of solving it. Also with multiplex you have just one sound track. I use two sound tracks like 5.1 and a 2.0 track witch you can choose in a menu.
    Some people say it is the blank spots. Also not true. They have probably just erased the blank spots of the M2V file and forgot the .M2V.XMPSES file.
    When you just delete the .M2V.XMPSES file and then open the M2V and AC3 file in Encore as a new asset, make a timeline and menu's and the project will built and burn. Only if you delete this .M2V.XMPSES file Encore takes a longer time to import the M2V file and will be without the chapter points.
    Almost everything else will work like menu with sound and even a movie background (use M2V files). Only the motion buttons in a menu still wont work unless you use a black background !?!. Haven't figured this out yet. Only solution for this is use Encore 2.0. In this older version also the motion buttons will work without error's (everything else also so why buy CS3??)
    Here is what you must do create a DVD without errors:
    -Create a project in Premiere Pro, even with chapters.
    -Write down all chapter points (minutes:seconds:frames)
    -Create two new unique maps in explorer for example D:DVD1 and D:DVD2
    -Export in Premiere with Media Encoder without the Multiplex:DVD but with NON to the D:DVD1 map
    -Copy from D:DVD1 only the M2V and AC3 files to D:DVD2
    -Start up Encore DVD CS3 or 2.0
    -Create a new unique project in Encore for example "DVD" and save this in the map D:DVD2\
    -Then use Save-as (under file) and pinpoint to D:DVD2\dvd to be sure that all Encore's files are placed in this folder.
    -Select M2V file and make new timeline.
    -Make chapter points (you wrote down the points, did you?)
    -Create menu's, even with sound (AC3) and movie background (M2V)
    -Then render project if you have used a video for menu background
    -Finally Built and burnnnnnn!!
    -If you like to use motion buttons in a menu then use Encore 2.0
    I have double checked my work flow and it really works. I have built a project and burned with success Then I deleted the timeline and the M2V file. Copied the .M2V.XMPSES file in the used folder. Re loaded the M2V file in encore (this time much faster! and with chapter points). Tried to built and burn and back was the error. Also this happened in in Encore 2.0!!
    Hope that this will solve the PGC error once and for all !!!

    > Where the y in time stands for the length of the timeline minus 2 frames.
    This can actually vary, and so far at least, I don't think we've seen a pattern as to type of pgc error based on how many frames from the end it reports.
    > The BPGC error can also be FPGC or DPGC dependant on how many menu's there are in the project.
    Number of menus is not relevant; the iteration of the first letter is more related to subsequent occurrences of the error. In my current tests it did not always update; they may have been too similar.
    > This is what generates the problem...
    Well, the problem does not occur every time you do what you describe, any more than it occurs every time spaces are left in the file names. What you have is, as some other suggestions, a workaround. Thats not bad, and I wonder if you are onto something as to what is contributing to the problem.
    So, on to the interesting part whether the xmpses file, or at least what Encore is doing with it, is contributing something. I took an old test project that throws the PGC error and did some experiments.
    Background. I am a user who does get the pgc errors regularly, but not always. Creative Suite Production Premium, with PPro CS3 3.2.0 (374) and Encore 3.0.1.008. Pentium 4 2.8GHz 2G RAM, XP SP3, Multiple drives, Nvidia GEforce4 MX440 i.e. an older system. I have lots of stuff loaded and running, including virus protection and firewall, so there are any number of potential conflicts. But I get no crashes, and only one problem other than the pgc. (PPro and Encore monitor windows do this diagonal thing I suspect the display card, but the drivers are up to date. Maxing and then back to fit fixes it.)
    If you want to attempt to replicate my studies, here is a link to my problem clip and the first Encore project I describe.
    http://www.videoandcomputer.com/test/pgc_test.htm
    This project involves a very short AVI export from PPro CS3 - just over 8 seconds - called pgcbad_clip1.avi. Just to answer any question, the source is dv camera capture, and the source and avi export I use are dv avi type 2. There were no effects added on the timeline.
    Test 1: Create a project in Encore CS3. Use the sunset menu and delete all the buttons except "play all." Import the avi as a timeline. Set the timeline end action as "return to last menu" and set the button link to the timeline. Auto transcode. (Project settings are 8mbps max and a3c.) Check project shows okay; there is never a problem with that. Build to a DVD folder in a new folder. This project throws the pgc error.
    Test 2: Now create a new Encore project in a new folder. Use the same process, except import as timeline the m2v and a3c files from the first run. (I.e. if the clip is pgcbad_clip1.avi, in the test1 project folders, there is a folder called pgcbad_clip1.avi that has 6 files.) Note that in the folder they are imported from is an xmpses file from the first project's encore transcode. The build again fails with the pgc error - same frame, etc, but I really think the frame number doesn't matter.
    Test 3: Now create another new Encore project in a new folder. Use same process, but before importing the m2v and a3c as timeline, delete the xmpses file. Drumroll...... Build succeeds!
    Go figure.
    This is not the repeatable bug option weve been looking for, but based on a clip that always fails, it does demonstrate the odd event of deleting the xmpses file as a workaround. I wonder if that will give adobe something to work with.
    Can anyone else get my clip to work/not work in a straight project?
    Test 4: Just to answer the question since the avi file fails here, will the elemental option succeed? I exported elemental m2v and wav from PPro, used the same project process, and transcoded the wav. That build also works! I have seen this work both ways. I have had projects where the elemental failed, and an avi export worked. I do believe the elemental options work more consistently. But my project that I completed yesterday used all avi exports, animated buttons in the submenu, - no pgc error.

  • Can't create working DVD in Encore CS3

    Hi,
    I'v created an Encore CS3 project which works perfectly when built to a flash (.swf) and the buttons, menus & videos all works perfectly in the preview in Encore.
    I've tried burning DVDs two ways:
    1. directly from Encore
    2. burn an image to my hard drive and burn that to disc using "ImgBurn" which is freeware recommended by another forum user.
    Both have the same result - the video will play on my pc, but the buttons won't work. When I try a DVD player, the first play opens up but it won't allow me to arrow through menus or select anything - I tried both the play key & the enter key on the remote.
    I'm burning to a DVD+R
    Any ideas? What have I done wrong?

    The first thing I would check would be whether there are any overlapping buttons.

  • Encore CS3 subtitles won't default to "off"

    I'm using Encore CS3, and have a couple of subtitle tracks, but want the default to be "subtitle off" and despite my setting the disk build properties to "Subtitle: Off", the disk, when created (and even in the Encore preview windows), the subtitle always defaults to playing the first subtitle track.  I don't want the viewers to have to turn off the subtitles every time they view the DVD.  The "Play" button for the program on the main menu is set to "Subtitle: No Change". So, unless I go and turn the subtitles on, the DVD should theoretically play with subtitles OFF, right?
    Now, I can force the "Play" link to play the track with subtitles off, but then that prevents the viewers from turning the subtitles on via the subtitles menu (which throws back to the "Play" link, which would then turn the subtitles back OFF when it's hit.)
    I suppose I could create a separate identical copy of the main menu, the "First Play" one with the subtitles forced "off," and then one that the subtitle selection menu can throw back to, that is set at "No Change", but that all seems kind of unnecessarily circuitous.
    So far the only other "workaround" I can think of is to make the first subtitle track a blank track, and then put the "real" subtitles on tracks 2 & 3.  But that seems like kind of a cheap workaround.
    Anyone have any insights?  Thanks!

    Hello.
    You don't actually mention if this problem occurs in preview or in a real player.
    If in preview - what happens on a real disc?
    if on a real player, is the player perhaps set to have a default subtitle language? I ran across this on a recent project & had to force subtitles to default off on the disc, as the player insisted on displaying subtitles because it's firmware had set it's language as "English".

  • ADOBE ENCORE CS3 Multiple Timeline AUDIO issue

    Hello All,
    I have ADOBE Encore CS3  project setup and i have the following assets in the project.
    1. Timeline1.
    2. Timeline2.
    3. Main Menu
    4. Sub Menu or Chapter Menu
    5. Audio for Main Menu (MP3)
    6. Audio for Sub Menu (MP3)
    Setup:
    1. Main Menu contains the links to Timeline1, Timeline2 and Submenu. And Main Menu has been selected as Start of Play screen.
    2. SubMenu has Chapters linked to Chapters on Timeline 1, Timeline 2.
    3. End of Action is set on both the Timelines. And the End of Action being set to go back to Main Menu on both the timelines.
    The Problem is:
    In the preview mode:
    1. The Main Menu display with the audio. When the link to Timeline1 Video is selected, Timeline1 Video is played and Audio is heard. No Issues here.
    2. End of Action is clicked on the Timeline1, and it comes back to the Main Menu. No Issues here.
    3. Timeline2 is selected Video is displayed and audio is heard. No issues here.
    4. End of Action is clicked on Timeline2 and the control comes back to Main Menu. No Issues here.
    5. Now I select Timeline1 Video again from Main Menu, the issue is, TIMELINE1 VIDEO is played, but NO AUDIO is heard. This happens always whenver i come back from Timeline2 to Timeline1 either from Chapters Menu or Main Menu.
    Could you please tell me whether it is a ENCORE issue or is it something related to my authoring.
    Please Advise,
    Venky

    What happens if you actually create a disc instead of using preview?
    Try to an RW disc, and please check this.
    Remember that preview mode is not an actual multiplex of the final VOB filesthat compiling the disc will create, and as such can be a little wobbly whereas a real disc will be properly multiplexed together.
    Also - just to humour me - please do not use MP3 audio, as you are forcing on-the-fly sample rate conversion which is not a good idea.

  • Encore CS3 crash when i click Build (SWF, BluRay, DVD Burn/Image/Folder) or Check project

    So I'm finally done with my DVD. Now i want this burned to a dvd or make an image file. Each time i hit BUILD or START (Check proj) the program quits and I'm left with the normal OS X message: The application Adobe Encore quit unexpectedly >> Ignore - Report... - Relaunch
    My DVD is not that fancy but i got a menu with 3 buttons made in PS with a pointer highlight and a animating background made in After Effects (using dynamic link) with some music. All of the buttons link to After effects comps with dynamic link. All of the after effects compositions are transcoded and works within the DVD preview (except the DVD menu background wont play, and i got a feeling it will play when i export an image or DVD). And all the After Effects comps links back 2 the menu when done. So there should be no error in the project flowchart.

    So i hit build and Encore quits, shut down, finada (Every time!). No matter what out put settings i use. I've exported DVD's from encore before on this computer without problems.

    Don't know if this any help but hope anybody got some ideas. I've been trying to look for a solution on the forums, but without any luck.
    By the way, I'm using a Mac Pro v3,1 (early 2008) with 2 x 2,8ghz quads, 10GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (512mb) and plenty of disk space.

    Hey, i think if there could be any of the possibilities you talk about, it might have been a naming error. All files i created had the same name in the new project as in the old one. But i used 1 asset arrow that i copy pasted from a library button "Red facets button" and shift pasted on my own buttons as highlight (paste sub picture). In the first project i did not do this as a straight forward thing, a lot of deleting and adding because i had never done it before and there might have happened something with the naming of the arrow i pasted. I used the same arrow in the second project but without messing with delete, paste all the time. But some how there is no problems now, just something wrong with the last project file =S
    Not so important:
    I also noticed while building the new project i once got an "General error", not sure why but happened after a random crash. And 2 get rid of it i had to delete the menu and make it again (i could not edit anything in the menu without getting the error). I rebuild the menu and had another crash when exiting the program, because i thought my computer needs to boot after 2 days online. When i reopened the project i got "General error" in the menu again, but after some clicking it didn't show up (random). Finally i got my project setup and everything works, i did the copy past as sub picture as a straight forward thing.

  • Adobe Encore CS3 compatiblity with Windows 8.1?

    Is Encore CS3 compatible?

    CS3 is old enough, and Win8.1 is new enough, that you may not find anyone here with that combination
    Have you tried installing and using?
    Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will often be needed
    You also MAY need to right click the program icon and select a compatibility mode from the popup option window (I know this for Win7 but do NOT know if Win8.1 has the same popup)

  • DVD pauses right before credits Encore CS3

    Hello,
         I am making a DVD and have burned a copy, everything is fine except when the video goes into the credits the video pauses for a second or so.
    Here are my steps in creating the DVD.
    1. Edited movie in Premiere
    2. In Premiere I went to Title>New Title>Default Still and on the 'Roll/Crawl Options' I added a Roll
    3. Typed in my text and closed it.
    4. I Put the Credits video clip in the timeline and added a 'Cross Disolve' transition
    5. I Went to File>Export>Export to Encore   I Exported the movie with this summary  -
         NTSC, 720x480, 29.97 non-drop frame [fps], Progressive, Quality 5.0
         48 kHz, 16 bit, PCM
         VBR, 2 Pass, Min 1.50, Target 4.00, Max 7.00 [Mbps]
    6. In Encore I added a basic menu
    7. I then Burned the DVD
    Again my problem is that halfway into the cross disolve leading into the credits it pauses for ~1sec.  I think it may be the way Encore burns the disc because this does not happen in the preview window of Encore.
    I am using . . .
    Windows XP Profesional
    Premiere CS3
    Encore CS3
    All help is appreciated,
    Nicholas

    I have never heard of DiscMaker brand. Could be great, or maybe not. Many companies buy the cheapest discs that day, and then rebrand them, like Memorex, so you never know what you are getting.
    An ISO is an Image of the disc, and is created, when you choose Burn to Image. It is similar to doing a Burn to Folder, but is different. The great freeware, ImgBurn can burn either the ISO, or the VIDEO_TS created with Burn to Folder. I like that second option a bit better, only because the VIDEO_TS folder will play in most DVD software players, like MediaPlayer Classic HC (freeware). ImgBurn will also tell you what the mfgr. of those discs is.
    I edit most Projects, a bit differently, than many others. Each segment of my Project is in a separate Sequence in PrPro. Each starts with a tiny bit of Black Video, and then fades into the footage with a Dip-to-Black (could use a Cross-Dissolve here too). Each ends with a tiny bit of Black Video, with the same Transition. My Credits would be on their own Sequence, as all of my "chapters/scene." In Encore, each Sequence goes onto a separate Timeline, and each is created in their proper order in Encore, so my Into is done first, "Scene 1" next, and so on, then my Credits are the last to be created in Encore. That keeps the writing of these in order, so the laser does not have to skip about, unless the user does so. This makes playback as smooth as is possible, and with the Dip-to-Black, there is never any clue given the user, that the laser has to move about. Unless they had a very accurate stop watch, they'll never pick up that their might be a slight pause, waiting for the laser.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Encore CS3 library install fails on win7 64bit pro

    Hi
    Just installing my discs from Premiere Pro CS3 onto a win 7 64 bit pro PC, which was my Win X 32bit PC but with all new components except Power supply unit and my Audigy X-Fi elite pro sound card.
    Exit Kaspersky IS 2014.
    Premiere CS3 failed to go on though other third part components did.
    I then disabled Kaspersky IS 2014 AND made the User Account Control 'off', and bingo, it worked.
    So now reboot and turn off KIS and check UAC is off, and proceed, install Encore CS3. it went on
    However Encore CS3 library has a red X.
    try again select install library, long wait for the green progress bar to finish, result still not on.
    Why and what else can I do ?
    Has anyone else had a battle installing CS3 onto win7 pro 64bit or just win7 64 bit ?
    Merlin

    CS3 is 32 bit. But it sounds like you got that part to work. Does Encore run? I don't think that is the issue; I suspect permissions.
    If you are just wanting menus, etc, just use the CS6 download. Don't use one of the links with an installer; just download and unzip to the correct location. The menus were not updated from the pre-CS4 pars (Encore knows to do this), so I suspect you will be fine. I have not actually used the recent library with CS3.

  • Font Selection laggy in InDesign CC

    27" iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM, OSX 10.9
    Adobe InDesign CC 9.1
    Suitcase Fusion 5 Version 16.0.5 (603)
    Since installing Mavericks have had terrible issues using InDesign on my less than 3 month old iMac.
    Font selection is painfully slow as shown in this video...
    http://vimeo.com/81705033
    Sometimes when trying to change a fonts weight it won't even register the selection. As can be seen in the video I have the font "Interval" selected and am trying to change its weight. I cannot do that. I then select an alternative font (you will see how laggy the font menu is) and it then takes around 7 seconds to change to the new font once selected. I can then change back to Interval and select the desired weight.
    I have turned off the font previews in preferences as I thought this might be what was causing these issues, but sadly not.
    Not sure whether the issue is Mavericks, Adobe or Extensis.
    We also have the same sorts of issues on another older Mac in our studio. Before Mavericks it was fine. Not sure if that is just coincidence.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Yes, it would have been installed in place. My boss did it while I was on holiday and have had no end of problems since it was upgraded to Mavericks.
    So you think re-installing InDesign might do the trick. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks.
