Encore CS5 slideshow transitions not rendering reliably to DVD

I'm trying to create a relatively simple slideshow DVD in Encore CS5 on Mac (10.6). The slideshow is about 35 images long, and most of the transitions are cross-dissolves. However, there are exceptions: a couple of the transitions have no effect (ie, snap from one slide to the next). All of the slides but one are manual advance.
The problem I'm having is that the cross-dissolve time (most are set to 3 seconds, vs. the default 2) seems to render as a variable length: hit the "next chapter" button on the DVD control, and the transition time might be the requested 3 seconds, but is occasionally zero seconds, or 1 second, or 2 seconds. I haven't been able to find the rhyme or sense behind this, although I haven't devoted much time to studying it either. The settings on each slide appear to be set correctly (ie, transition type set to "Cross-dissolve" and transition time set to 0:00:03:00) in the project.
An additional complication comes from the one autofollow slide in the show: it automatically advances as expected, but at the next manual transition, it cross-dissolves, appears to pop back to the image, then does the cross-dissolve again, finally ending up in the correct slide.
Due to project deadlines, I've given up trying to make this work in Encore and moved to a different product, but I'd appreciate any feedback on how to do this all correctly next time.

Many users have problems with Encore slideshows. The major advantage is the manual advance. I don't use them, so have little to offer.
The settings on each slide appear to be set correctly (ie, transition type set to "Cross-dissolve" and transition time set to 0:00:03:00) in the project.
I worry that your "set x:xx IN THE PROJECT" means that you have not checked each slide duration. It is possible to have a project setting, but for individual slides to have been set to something else.

Slideshow transitions not rendering

On a disk with 5 slideshows, the transitions were not rendered for the latter part of a single slideshow. Those transitions were "green screen."
Hard drive has over 25 GB free.
Everything else seems fine.

There has been a problem in slideshows with more that 99 images. Slides in a slideshow are treated as chapters, and a sloideshow s a track. Tracks are limited to 99 chapters and until iDVD 6, all iDVD slideshows were limited to 99 slides. Apple crated somethong of a 'hack' in iDVD 6 that makes it possible to link together several tracks creating a slideshow of more than 99 images. The problem is, not all DVD playrers like the hack and fail/refuse/have problems in trying to play long slideshows.
As far as the image quality,DVD are low resolution devices. NTSC DVDs are less than 0.3 megapixels. See Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html for suggested images sizes to be used in iDVD slideshows.
For long slideshows, create them as movie in iPhoto or iMovie. Many of us like Photo to Movie or FotoMagico (which I use).

Themed Transitions not rendering in export to Quicktime

I just created my first imovie 09 project. I was using the Bulletin board theme and the transitions work fine with viewing in iMovie. However, when I *export out of imovie to quicktime or itunes not all the transitions render.* Especially the bulletin board transition. There are some other "standard" transitions that are not rendering either.
I am wondering if this is a bug or if maybe it is the settings like Frame per second and encoding that is some how cutting these transitions out. Since most of the transitions do render out to quicktime, I am going to guess this is a bug.
Anybody have a clue?

The file information shows:
Apple MPEG 4 Decompressor, 960 x 540, millions 16bit, 29.97 fps
I just watched the rendered quicktime again and noticed that some of the Bulletin board transitions did render later in the movie but at least one transition is not rendering. It is very strange and bit frustrating.
I am not sure what it could be since it shows in the imovie full screen preview.

Encore CS5 - override does not seem to work

I have been producing DVD's using Encore CS5 for some time now. I usually create one single encoded file with many chapter points on it, using buttons on several menus for direction. During the menu creation I select the relevent chapter point on the encoded file by using the button link facility in the properties menu and then set override back to the original selcted button on the menu using override "link back to here". The means that when the menu select button is pressed on the DVD player remote it returns to originally selected button in the menu screen. I have just started creating blu-ray projects and have tried to do exactly this when creating a blu-ray menu but this does not seem to work. What is annoying is that when you do a preview using the Encore preview player all looks good and the return seems to be successful. It is only when you try to play the disc on a blu-ray player (and I have tried several different makes and all do the same) does the return to the originally selected button on the menu fail, returning to what seems to be any random menu button. I have seen what has already been posted in the Forum on this and tried several of the options there, although most seem to do things slightly differently than me, linking several files together and not using a single file. All to no avail. Anyone any ideas what I am doing wrong. Roger

Jeff
Thanks again for your prompt response much appreciated and yes pressing the menu button on the blu-ray remote returns you back to menu 1 button 1 from both menus.
Full project setup.
There are two timelines "Start" and "Showtime"
"Start" which is first play has 1 chapter point
"Showtime" has 23 chapter points. These are split between the two menus.
Main project properties:     First Play - Start Chapter 1, Override - not set, Title button - menu 1 button 1, this is possibly why the blu-ray menu selection on the remote returns here from both menus. If I don't set this then the project errors with "Title remote not set". I cannot set this to "Return to last menu".
Start properties:         End action - menu 1 button 1, Override - not set, Menu remote - return to last menu.
Showtime properties:   End action - return to last menu, Override - not set, Menu Remote - Return to last menu.
menu 1: End action - menu 1 button 1, Override - not set.
menu 2: End action - menu 2 button 1. Override - not set
I do have background music on each menu set up in "Motion".
All buttons on both menus are set to the relevent chapter points on the "showtime" timeline with no override
nothing else set.
I hope this makes sense.

Once you verify that everything is working correctly, make a restorable image to an external USB drive
Hardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy AND USE software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something doesn't work
This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

Encore cs5 motion menus not working when build to flash

Hello my question is this, I have created a dvd in encore cs5. I have created motion menus in AE.
Everything works great when I build to DVD. However when I export to flash my animated menu is working but the buttons (play move, chapter select , extras) do not show up until the animation is complete. Is this a simple fix? or should I make the menus static?

Hmm... what version of the Flash Player are you testing with
(full version, including release number)? You can find out which
version you're using here:

Transitions not rendering properly - corruption

My transitions are not rendering properly when I try layering two. It was working fine before, now suddenly it is not. I am using FCP 6 and I have Slick FX add ons. The add on was working fine before. I've tried trashing the FCP preferences but to no avail.
See here for a sample -
http://metrosi.com/Picture3.png
Any other suggestions? Please help!
Jennifer

Seems that the problem is with specific Slick FX transitions. Ones under Slick FX Transitions - 3D.
Things tried....
Tried using the Rotate transition in another location, same issue. Looked ok in the timeline prior to rendering.
There is a Slick FX transition in the timeline that appears to be rendering properly...Cylinder. Put another in a different part of the timeline and it rendered fine (Spin Zoom)
Tried another 3D one (Spherize) -looks fine in the timeline before rendering...rendered fine.
Tried another 3D one (Tube) - did not work.
Tried adding Rotate in after adding others...still not working.
Turnstile not working also (opened a new sequence and tried adding it)
Twist not working either.
So...not sure what to do about it!

Encore CS5 link transitions

While fooling around with mpg transitions working and not working, I came the conclusion that transitions must be greater than 1 second in length to work. I triied to link a button to a transition that was 1 second - didn't work. Linked it to a simlar transition that was 1.01 second - worked. Strange.
Is this a known feature of the transition requirement in Encore?

Many users have problems with Encore slideshows. The major advantage is the manual advance. I don't use them, so have little to offer.
The settings on each slide appear to be set correctly (ie, transition type set to "Cross-dissolve" and transition time set to 0:00:03:00) in the project.
I worry that your "set x:xx IN THE PROJECT" means that you have not checked each slide duration. It is possible to have a project setting, but for individual slides to have been set to something else.

Transitions not rendering when using 'make movie'

Hi there, I hope you can help I'm getting very frustrated!
I am making a slideshow using imported tifs, and although my block dissolve transitions are working in preview mode, when I render the movie some of them just cut straight and there is no transition. I have tried re-saving the images in question, but still no luck.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Neil

Have you checked the Alpha interpretation for the files? TIFFs often have an Alpha channel, even if it's not needed. This might have unexpected side effects...

AE CS5 - Duplicated comp not rendering with custom camera

Hello
I hope this is a simple fix.
I have an AE comp that uses a custom camera and many 3D layers.
I duplicated the comp, and the new comp will not render using the custom camera. It uses a default camera which does not have my camrea's attributes, and it looks all wonky.
Is there a place where I can force the render to use a specific camera? I didn't see an option in the render settings or output module.
Thanks
----------S

In that screenshot, the text is too tiny for me to make anything out.
I can tell that you're previewing in the Composition panel with your shotCam. But is that camera layer the active camera in the composition?
In case you're not clear on what the active camera is, here's an excerpt from After Effects Help:
"You can choose to view a composition through the active camera or through a named custom camera. The active camera is the topmost camera in the Timeline panel at the current time for which the Video switch is selected. The active camera view is the point of view used for creating final output and nesting compositions."

Transitions not rendering

I've been using imovie for a few years now and haven't had any issues until now! I upgraded to 6.0.2 and now my transitions won't render and imovie just freezes up???
I've seen a few other posts about this with no solutions...anyone?

Hi osp:

Do you have any third-party QuickTime add-ons installed? Users have reported lots of weird problems associated with any of these: 3ivx, Divx, Flip4Mac. If so, remove them—or temporarily move them to some other folder—and Restart your Mac.

Why does Encore CS5 default to MPEG2-Bluray for a DVD build?

When I begin a DVD build (and, before you ask, I have indeed selected DVD and not Bluray) and select Edit Quality Settings from the menu, the quality settings dialog box shows MPEG2-Bluray in the FORMAT field. Should I change this to the MPEG2-DVD format?
I'd appreciate any advice.
Harry Frank

How odd. I have never in my life built a Bluray disk, and I have always used Encore’s defaults for DVD builds. Yet, it is the MPEG2-Bluray format that invariably shows up when I check the quality settings. Any thoughts?

Why Can't Encore CS5 Pass Thru DD5.1 Audio?

I've created mt2s files in the free software that came with my camcorder.
I can also edit and export with Corel Video Studio Pro X3 (approx £60) and author to AVCH or BD with the free Corel DVD Movie factory software.
My point is all the above will maintain the original DD5.1 audio and are cheap to buy or in some cases even free!
So why when I import the edited m2ts files (NOT with Premier but with the free Panasonic HD Writer) into the expensive Encore CS5 it will not pass the 5.1 audio? Instead it converts to stereo when building to BD.
Surely no encoding is required as the files are BD compliant (video and audio) and therefore no Dolby license required.

Problem timing slides to audio in Blu-ray slideshow in encore cs5. Help!

I'm using a 2006 mac pro 1,1 with 7GB, and I'm trying to make a blu-ray slideshow with encore cs5. There is about 20 minutes of music for 99 slides. I click "fit slideshow to audio" and the time per slide increases to about 12 seconds, which is correct, and when I preview the slideshow it
plays back correctly. But when the blu-ray or image is burned, the slides last only about a second or two each and the audio cuts off abruptly at the end of the 99th slide. This project, by the way, has two slideshows which play one after the other. Both have the same problem.
Operating System: Mac OS X (v10.6.4)
Video display card / driver version: Quadro FX4500
I examined the blu-ray file streams created by encore cs5 with VLC. The slide transitions (cross dissolve) were about 2 megabytes each and played correctly, but the slides themselves seem too short at around 300kb and don't play back at all. Video Blu-rays work fine; the problem only shows up on blu-ray slideshows. When that same slideshow is burned as a dvd, by the way, it also works fine. What's going on?

I have just the same problem with Encore CS5 running on Windows 7 64 bit:
When i create a slide show with music,the length of music defines the
length of the slide show every thing works fine when i play the e show with preview
function in Encore. When i burn it on a blu ray disk it works fine
(in sync) playing the BD disk on the PC, but when i play the BD
when i play the BD disk on a BD player (Sony BDP-S300 or BDP-S470) the music
stops many seconds before the slide show is finished.
Burning the slide show with Encore on a DVD everything works correct.

Kernel panic rendering AVCHD footage in Encore CS5 or CS6

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro running CS6 and 10.8.2. My usual workflow is burning two hour multi-cam live performances to DVD. Usually this is two cameras of DV, one camera of AVCHD, all in a DV timeline.
Lately I've been trying to burn DV timelines of nothing but AVCHD footage, and somewhere through the rendering process I always get a kernel panic. This happens with different projects, footage from different cameras (I'm using a Panasonic AG-AC130 or HMC40), whether I'm using Encore CS5 or CS6. The projects never finish. It seems to get 50-75% through rendering video before crashing. Rendering these projects on my MacBook Pro work just fine (though much slower). Timelines where it's not 100% AVCHD are still working fine.
I had began having kernel panics unrelated to Encore, but traced this back to a heat issue. It's an old machine after all. After installing smcFanControl, this problem has gone away. I don't normally burn timelines of nothing but AVCHD, but I'm certain there was a time in the past I was able to burn these without issue. I monitor my system temperature during rendering and I'm somewhat confident that's not what's crashing the system.
The top part of my latest crash report is listed below. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?

After a not-too-intense Bing search, the particular panic you're getting seems to be an indication of:
Your Mac Pro is dying.
Bad drivers in combo with an unforgiving OS.
I don't have any easy advice for number 1. If it is still a heat issue, you may need to redo the thermal paste on the CPU and blow the dust out of the heat sink. If it's a deeper problem than that, some serious repair work up to and including replacement may be required. Either way, it will be a painful fix. For number 2, try updating your graphics card drivers (which card do you have?) and/or going back to 10.6.x or Lion 10.7.x and see if things improve.
Jeff
EDIT: Although Encore and Premiere Pro have their share of bugs, a lot of times they expose weaknesses in a system because of how much they tax all of the hardware and software.
