Encore CS6 Dynamic Link

I think most of the people here will agree with me. I have noticed that since upgrading to CC I have had lots of timewasting work arounds to create a Blu Ray and DVD using Encore. In the past I used to create awesome quality Blu Rays and DVD from the same Encore Project dynamically linked to PrPro. But with CC the workaround is time consuming and I don't think the Blu Ray and DVD will be going away as predicted by Adobe. As a result of this I just can't wait to terminate my CC subscription at the end of my contract this year so I can revert to CS6.

For the record, I don't see any problem with dynamic link as long as it works. The "automatic" setting in Encore has worked fine for many people. There may have been slightly better quality options, but for many users, the quality was good. The problem has been that there have been increasing numbers of situations where it does not work correctly, including HD to SD that made it a bad workflow for almost all users.
The belief that it saves transcoding time seems so reasonable, it is hard to realize that it does not. The savings that may occur are in workflow that avoids bitrate calculation for longer projects.
Surkweza appears to be one of those who found workflows for SD and BD that worked. We don't hear from many.
And yes, its moot now, since there is no dynamic link CC to CS6. So the best CC users can do is to learn to create DVD/BD ready assets at the best quality their program length will allow.
But the bugs make the frustration of users like srukweza harder to resolve.

Encore CS6 Dynamic Link to Photoshop CC

This seems such an obvious question, but I have searched without request:
Until two days ago I had Premiere Pro CS5, CS6 and CC installed, but I was having problems with the CC Application Manager not recognising apps as installed when they were. So I was advised to remove the old versions (I also had to remove Photoshop CS6 and InDesign CS5.5), and reinstall the application manager - which I did, and the AAM now has all its ticks in the right places. Except of course, I now don't have Encore! So I reinstalled PremPro CS6 (a three hour job with my rural NZ connection).
My problem now is that if I try a Dynamic Link from Encore CS6 to Edit in Photoshop, I get this error message:
I'm guessing this is because Encore CS6 does not know about Photoshop CC, and that I could fix it by reinstalling Photoshop CS6? Another three hour download So can I somehow make Encore CS6 use Photoshop CC, or am I misinterpretting the error message?
Many thanks

Ann, yes PSD files open in Photoshop CC. Stan, the order of install/unistall was exactly as you said. But when I unstalled all my pre CC apps, and reinstalled the Application Manager, it did not recognize _any_ of the CC apps as being installed, so I let it overwrite them. The whole point of starting this process was to get the AAM in sync with the installed CC apps so I wouldn't miss updates.
I got round my problem last night by using the Windows 7 search facility to locate the menu file, and open it in CC, but that feels so clunky compared to a simple right click. I relax by browsing the Photoshop forum, so I will probably reinstall Photoshop CS6, if only to test answers, but it would be nice to get Encore CS6 and Photoshop CC working together.
BTW The Application Manager does not show Premiere Pro CS6 as being installed, whereas it did after I first installed the CC apps.

Encore CS6 Dynamic Link from Pr CS6 Problem/Issue

I switched from Production Premium CS5 to CS6. I first deactivated and uninstalled my CS5 then installed CS6 on my Windows 7 machine.
The problem:
When I edit together a video in Premiere CS6 and have finished, I use Dynamic Link from within Encore CS6 to bring in that timeline. After that, I use AME to transcode that Dynamic Link asset to the DVD MPEG standard, Encore CS6 keeps poping up a notification window that says: "The transcoded DynamicLink asset _______ has changed on the server. Would you like to reimport it? Yes/No" It prompts me each time I enter Encore and any time I move from another open program back to Encore.
And I have to click No for each timeline that I have used Dynamic Link for (which is usually 5 or so).
Any ideas or help? This is incredibly annoying.
Thank you.
Jared

As an update. I am using the newest version of PluralEyes (v 2.0.5 7358) to sync the audio of the multiple camera event films I have shot. I have since created a new project in Premiere and only manually lined up clips and then Dynamically Linked that to a new Encore project and so far Encore has not promtpted me with the error/message: "The transcoded DynamicLink asset _______ has changed on the server. Would you like to reimport it? Yes/No"
Any ideas? This is very frustrating. Thank you!

Premiere Pro CS6 Dynamic Link not working

Hi,
Just wondered if anyone has seen issues with the Dynamic link options in Premiere Pro CS6, all the options to work with After Effects are greyed out although this product is installed.
However I only have CS5 for after effects, is this a compatibility issue or am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Kind Regards
Steve

Dynamic Link only works within one version, so you can't use it between CS6 and CS5 or CS5.5 and with older versions you had to have a complete suite, not individual products.

Encore, Premiere, Dynamic Link, MPE & Problem?

My set-up is CS5 with an nVidia GTX-460 (hacked to conform for MPE). The project used is HDV 1080i60. I created the Encore project by importing Premiere sequences.   I am burning a DVD.
First an interesting discovery -
     I was surprised to see that Encore used MPE when transcoding. I have a gadget that shows GPU load.
Now the not so good -
     I was having a terrbible time getting the, very simple, single timeline, no menus, just chapter marks, DVD to burn.   Sometimes I got an "Encode Failed". And a few times the system (Win 7 64-bit) blue screened! Until this this system has been rock solid. In my debugging I figured that I'd turn-off MPE and see if that helped. Hmmmm. No option for that in Encore. However, I went into the Premiere project and turned it off there.   Voila! Encore now does not use the GPU and the DVD burn completed.
Of course, this could be an issue with my un-supported GTX-460. But maybe not . . . .

Encore Adobe Dynamic Link Audio problem

I have a multiple video files that I have put together in Premiere. The are HD Dolby 5.1 sound. I have about 10 of these together. So I export them to Encore using the Adobe Dynamic Link. I built the menu system. When I burn the dvd and try it. It plays through the first two clips just fine and when it gets to the third. The sound goes out and never returns on the rest of the clips. But when I test it in Encore and Premiere there is sound and it works great. Anyone know why when i burn the dvd I loose the sound on the 3rd clip? Thanks.

How to send Video from Premiere to Encore via Dynamic Link

Hi there. So I have the adobe suite for students, and I have a project in Premiere Pro, that I would like to make into a DVD. I have exported before with MPEG-2 DVD, but that takes a lot of time and energy, and I don't think the export is as good as it could be (quality-wise). So I would like to use Dynamic Link between Premiere and Encore, but when I go to File-Adobe Dynamic Link- the Dynamic link option is greyed out and I can't click on it which would let me choose "Send to Encore". How can I make this option not greyed out and send it to Encore? Thank you so much for your time!

As the source is HD, then the output should be 16:9 widescreen, but you listed it as 4:3.
In AME, choose "MPEG-2 DVD" and then "NTSC DV Wide Progressive" preset.
Besides bitrate, generally don't touch other sliders unless you are experienced, use defaults.
You CAN use the "Max Render Quality" checkbox at the bottom, as that helps with the downscale quality.
While DVDs can theoretically handle a max data rate of roughly 10Mbps (video and audio together), not a good idea to push that limit - as mentioned previously, some players may choke on playback with burned media. Most users have stick to a maximum of 7 or 8 for the video encoding, and then use Dolby audio (Encore will automatically transcode PCM to Dolby).
For longer videos over an hour, you may need to lower the bitrate to fit the material on the DVD. 560/minutes = bitrate works pretty well, just round down a little for safety margin. Example: 560/120=4.66 so use 4.5 average and good to go!

Encore-Premiere dynamic link not working

Hi. I've watched tutorials and think I understand this pretty well but it's simply not working. I import a Premiere sequence into an encore project and place it on a timeline. I then add some chapters (or make other changes) to the Premiere sequence and the encore timeline does not update. When I right click on the timeline video the option to "Update markers from source" is grayed out. Saving in Premiere doesn't help.
Thanks for any help offered. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but it's really a damper to productivity.
CS4 Production Premium, Win Vista Ultimate 64, NVidia GEForce 8800 with latest drivers, NVidia 7600 running a third monitor, Matrox Axio LE card, dual quad core Xeon, 20Gb ram, 5TB free HD space on a raid 0

>anyone know if that's coming back?
I seriously doubt it. Adobe bundles Encore with PPro to take care of DVD authoring. It might have been convenient, but I don't think there's sufficient demand for Adobe to consider re-implimenting it.
Try filing feature requests.

Media pending with Encore CS6

Hello,
I have a very large project built with Premiere Pro CC.
The project has 5 "sequences" which are "rendered" before export to Media Encoder CC.
The "transcode" (max quality) runs very well but is very slow (Media Encoder does not use GPU even the "Playback Mercury Engine" is activated), this is worst without Playback Mercury Engine.
The transcoded files are imported within Encore CS6 (no dynamic link between Encore CS6 ane PP CC and no Encore CC version, Adobe decided this but with very bad reasons).
The Encore project has 5 "montages" and one "diffusion list", the menu has "animated" buttons and need to be rendered before creating the final disk (blu-ray).
But when I try the menus before creating the blu-ray disk I obtain :
- media pending message : the audio track is there but the video track appears lated and is not smooth,
- the animated button of menus are very curious : some are correct but others flash in red or green.
- the software Encore freeze with a white screen, then the job may be resume,
- the "complete title" begins normally then the video disappears but not the audio, after 10 seconds the video appears but seems to be frozen.
I checked the links of chapters and buttons, all works normally. The project checking give no error.
I never encountered this with Premiere Pro CS6 and Encore CS6 (dynamic link works).
How can I fix this strange situation without discarding PP CC and migrate to FCPX ?

Hello,
Many thanks for your very long reply and your interest in my problems.
I shall try to answer you :
- 1) OS : Windows 7 64 bits Pro SP1, french,
                 Version : 6.1.7601.18247 (Win7RTM)
                 Framework.NET : 4.0.30319.18408 built by : FX451RTMGREL)
                 DirectX : 11.0,
                 OpenGL : 6.1.7600.16385 (Win7_rtm.090713-1255).
- 2) Yes the media pending goes away but after a couple of minutes (one
year ago I was using PP CS6 and Encore CS6, I never had this problem
even with very long files),
- 3) Yes my GPU driver is updated (Nvidia GeForce 332.21 dated 12/19/2014).
I never had thiese problems with PP CS6 + Encore CS6 and my projects
built with these PP ans Encore version were with the same structure and
length (in PP CS6 : sequences up to 45 minutes, in Encore CS6 chapters
up to the same time).
The difference between are in my hardware :
- the RAM was upgraded from 12 GB to 24 GB,
- the CPU was overclocked from 3,2 GHz (default) to 3,88 GHz).
- 4) I shall try up to the disk burn to check if the problem is just due
to display of "animated buttons".
I hope my answer will be usefull for you.
Regards,
Jacques Gourier.

Pas d'import de séquences Adobe premiere pro CC dans Adobe Encore CS6

Bonjour,
Je viens de créer un gros projet dans PP CC, projet acec 7 séquences différentes.
Impossible d'importer les séquences dans Encore CS6 : dynamic link démarre, puis plus rien.
L'import a fonctionné avec des photos jpg, des vidéos m2ts, de la musique m4a et mp3, mais rien avec les séquences PP CC.
Le résultat est toujours le même quel que soit le chemin choisi pour réaliser l'import :
- Importer une séquence Première Pro,
- importer comme élément.
Merci de votre assistance,je ne souhaite pas refaire mon projet avec PP CS6

Bonjour,
Merci pour le lien. J'avais vu juste après le post.
Cordialement.

Encore keeps freezing when I use dynamic link from premiere. Any thoughts?

I just got done editing my sequence in Premiere Pro CS6. I've added my chapter markers and sent to Encore via Dynamic Link. Once I choose my project name and location it begins the import. At 50% it freezes. I've tried it on multiple machines and hard drives. I've done this a million times before and have now just run into issues. Any thoughts?
I'm working on a 2010 Mac Pro and a 2013 Macbook Pro (non retina)

You'll have a much better chance asking your question in the Encore forum. There are not many Encore users who venture here. This forum is for general Creative Suite questions.

I can't find the adobe dynamic link to encore in premiere pro...?

New to encore and dynamic link... I'm running Premiere Pro CC and Encore CS6. When I go to send my sequence to Encore (File>Adobe Dynamic Link>..), there is no "Send to Encore" like what I've heard in seen in the tutorials... any ideas?
I've also tried to dynamic link from encore to premiere pro, but it never loads the sequence.

Adobe premiere and encore dynamic link

When I tried to go from Adobe Premiere 5.5 to Encore by Dynamic Link from Premiere to Encore I found it NOT Working and
Also in Encore when I go File> Adobe Dynamic Link > Import Premiere Sequence it does not work?

Hi Stan,
Thank you very much for your help and quick reply and I have to buy you a free drink now. Ha…Ha….
I spent about 6 hrs. try to searching for the fix but I could not find anything except a few people stated that you could fix this Dynamic Link by going to help/deactivate the activate but I did not to try it
Encase I lose all Premiere. Do you think it will work?
The problem started after I had chat with Adobe support team to help me to reinstall Production Premium and after that the link did not work.
On my user account in premiere when I click on DL it does nothing and in Encore when I try to import the sequence I can see the window with disk activity but I cannot select any item.
I can open premiere and encore separately but I cannot link them?
I create a new user account and also I cannot send Premiere project to Encore But I can import Premiere’s sequence without any problem?
Any Idea how to fix this by repair not by uninstall because I had a lot of problem when I had to reinstall them. Is easy to repair them?
You also stated to me it is better to export from premiere to Encore directly without losing any quality, What is the best setting for this and I will buy 2 drinks.
Thank you again.

Change encore timeline from premiere pro cs5 via dynamic link?

I'm sure this has been covered before, but I can't find
anything on dynamic link in this forum.
I created my video in encore, and exported the sequence to encore via dynamic link.
I then created all my menus etc. in Encore, after which I noticed a couple of glitches I wanted to change, so I went back to premiere and edited the changes.
How do I get encore to pick up on these changes? It didn't happen automatically as I had hoped, and I don't want to have to recreate my menu structure again in Encore.
So, basically, how do I make a change in Premiere, and have it reflected in my Encore project without creating a new project?
thanks,
Andy

I have a similar problem:
I created a project in PremPro CS5, then used Adobe Dynamic Link which loaded into Encore
where I created menus then saved off both PremPro and Encore.
Today I opened each to make add some titles in PremPro, however, Dyn Link did not send them to Encore
as I assumed it would. How do I get link to do what I have been lead to believe it will do, that is, carry
over changes from PremPro to Encore?
(I tried "Revert to Original" botton suggestion but Encore does not give me this option.
Seems like a strange suggestion since I want to update not revert.)
Details would be helpful.
Thx

Dynamic Linking Frustrations

I don't know if I'm just not getting it, or dynamic linking is something that's only going to work great in CS6. I can't get it to work flawlessly. It's always something.
It does seem to work FLAWLESSLY from AI or PS to After Effects. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! But that's where my love ends.
From AE to Premiere I'm experiencing a lot of problems.
Just as a simple example, I have a very simple motion tracking clip in AE with text coming out from "behind" a tree. (http://www.vimeo.com/18168346 at 0:57 "Have a nice trip"). It looks great in AE, renders out just fine. But when I dynamically link the AEP project into premiere, it gets all choppy and you can see my mask on the tree moving all around. So I go back to AE to see if I bumped the frame rate to 24p from 30p or something, but no. Settings are the same (29.97p) in both AE and PP.
Any AE project that is more complicated than a simple text flying onto the screen seems to bring PP to a standstill and I can't play it back real time; it turns real choppy. Anything complicated won't play back at all, even if I force a render. So I'm forced to render it out as a MOV file from AE, and then import it into PP.... which totally defeats the purpose of the dynamic linking that I so much like to throw in the face of the Final Cutters. I never tell them that I actually have to do the same thing they do since dynamic linking only works on the most basic of things.
Dynamic linking from Premiere to Encore simply doesn't work when importing more than one Premiere project. Has ANYONE out there ever got it work on more than one project? I'm not talking about a 2-hour long movie. I'm talking about importing 6 5-minute Premiere projects/sequences into an Encore project. I get PProHeadless.exe errors left and right. Then if I can actually make it past my build of 6 projects, if I save it and reopen the project, it never, ever, ever EVER opens back up. I get error messages galore and I have to rebuild the project.
I have 3 $4000-6000 monster computers--all different brands. Liquid cooled, i7-980x processors, 24 GB ram, NVidia MPE cards, etc. Dynamic linking on Encore/PP doesn't work on any of them. PERIOD.
Don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I am so frustrated with CS5 right now my head is spinning. I've been using Premiere for 8+ years. The concept of dynamic linking is AWESOME! Linking simple things like PSDs IS IN FACT incredible! But doing anything beyond that doesn't seem to have any advantages unless you don't need to watch it played back in the time line. But who in their right mind drops something to the timeline without actually watching it?
Not sure what the purpose of this message even is. I'm an Adobe fanboy and LOVE everything Adobe, but I'm very frustrated with the whole "Dynamic Linking" in practice. I haven't found it a viable option.
HUGE HUGE potential, but falls FAR short!
What's the purpose of being able to dynamically link an After Effects comp into Premiere if you can't actually WATCH it play back in real time?
Maybe I've got the whole thing backwards in my head, but for our team, WORKING dynamic linking is a feature request we'd like to see in CS6.

Dynamic linking from Premiere to Encore simply doesn't work when importing more than one Premiere project. Has ANYONE out there ever got it work on more than one project?
I am feeding it fairly simple sequences, and still SD, but I am seeing none of the problems you report. Recent Encore project had a combination of imported avi, imported m2v, and about 10 or more dynamically linked PR sequences from 8 PR projects. Changes made to several of the PR sequences updated with no problem. I did have one PR sequence that seemed to hang up when opening the Encore project. The workaround was to open that one PR project before opening Encore. I did not worry about it too much, because this was a transition project, and some of the PR projects started as CS3 or CS4. (You do have to open in CS5 and save as for DL to work.)
I have 3 $4000-6000 monster computers--all different brands. Liquid cooled, i7-980x processors, 24 GB ram, NVidia MPE cards, etc. Dynamic linking on Encore/PP doesn't work on any of them. PERIOD.
I have a i7 930 and only 6G of ram. My budget build to move to Win7 and CS5 (for SD).
