Exporting from PPro CS3 to Encore

When I export directly from Premiere Pro CS3 to Encore using the Blu-ray MPEG2 option the project that opens in Encore has Authoring Mode DVD. The mpeg 2 file that is exported and that appears as an asset in Encore is indeed 1440x1080, and the timeline monitor certainly seems to be displaying 1440x1080. My question is, what is the significance of the Authoring Mode -- does it affect the resolution of menus or any other features of the final product?
Thanks,
Dick V.

Authoring Mode really only governs the size of the Preview window. When you export to BD, DVD, or Flash, Encore will transcode any media that is not legal for the export format.
So in your case, if you burn to Blu-ray, Encore will not transcode your video (if it is an elementary stream); if you burned to DVD, Encore would transcode your video to SD widescreen (720x480/576 NTSC/PAL).

  • Exporting from PPro CS3 -- lots of trial and error - and Cineform?

    Rather than showing up on this forum out of nowhere and asking, "what is the best codec for exporting HDV edited material from PPro CS3 when the desired presentation is standard definition DVD" I thought I would do my homework first, and post my results. Then, if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve or if their mileage has varied from my results, I hope to learn from your comments.
    My camera is a canon HV20, filming in 1080/60i and capturing using HDVSplit (due to premiere's inability to keep my audio and video in synch). I am operating in Windows XP Pro w/SP2 with a dual core AMD 6000+, 2GB dual channel DDR2 800 RAM. Seems powerful enough for me.
    My finalists in terms of visual quality when burned to DVD using Encore CS3, 7MB 2 pass VBR, came down to these:
    1) H.264 max bit depth
    2) QT Animation Sorenson
    3) QT Animation Sorenson3
    The H.264 takes a little longer to encode, but the visual quality wins out.
    So, after doing this and reading posts on here about using Cineform AspectHD I thought I would download a trial and see what it does for me. The strange thing is, I don't seem to understand what advantage it offers, but surely it must be something since it costs $500!
    After trying the Cineform trial for a couple of days, I'm not sure I understand what good it is doing. The CFHD files have to be rendered upon placing on the timeline, and they have longer render times when applying standard effects such as the Premiere color correction and time-remapping effects. No apparent difference in visual quality, but much larger file sizes to store. So why is it that folks use Aspect HD???
    Hoping if you read this far you will share your preferred HDV-->SD export codecs and settings so I and others can learn from your efforts.
    Oh yeah - and eventually, I will be purchasing a blu-ray burner so I want to export these same projects from Premiere into blu-ray format. But for now, it is standard def in 16:9 format.
    Thanks for any comments or suggestions.

    My computer is similar to Mystroh and Esc in KC. I am not as picky and I want to work in standard definition, I've been making movies in Premiere since version 5.5. In Premiere Pro version 2 I have been making movies using 3 different Sony videocams, usually about 30 minutes long, and exporting to tape and DVD.
    So, I splurged for CS3 Production Premium and installed it. No problem.
    I composed my first movie called 'Swindle Part 1'and exported it to Encore, (direct to DVD - no authoring) and it bombed near the end of the transcoding phase with the following message:
    PGC "Swindle Part 1" has an error at 00;29;46;09. Internal software error: %0, line Swindle Part 1, ref = Bpgc, time = 00;29;46;09
    The referenced timecode is one second from the end of the sequence.
    I tried again with different clips in a different project and got the same error message.
    I can successfully export this movie to tape and to a movie.
    Any ideas?

  • Exporting from Premiere CS3 to Encore CS3

    Hi all, I wonder if anybody has the answer for this. I have been really excited about the new feature that lets us export from a Premier timeline and open straight into an Encore project.
    But what I want to know is, is it possible to perform this type of export for multiple sequences or timelines so they all open in the same encore project?
    What I am doing at the moment requires 2 films on one authored disc. I am currently exporting straight to Encore which creates a new project each time, closing the unused projects tghen importing the exported video into my main Encore project manually.

    More of a Premiere question, but no, it's not possible to do this with multiple sequences.
    Instead, let Premiere create the Encore project for you from one sequence, then export your extra sequences to AVI or MPEG-2/H.264 from Premiere and import them as assets into Encore, where you can then add them to timelines and link to them.

  • Exporting from PP CS3 to Encore CS3 defaults to PAL project settings!

    I am trying to export about an hour of edited HDV video to Encore, and no matter what I try, the project settings after exporting into Encore is set to PAL and not NTSC. Encore does not allow me to change the settings back to NTSC. I have set all the export settings in Premiere to confirm NTSC is set in the encoding settings. I have tried to change all the default preferences in Encore to NTSC, but still when I export from Premiere, the project settings turns up as PAL. The work around is to export the movie seperately, then import it in Encore with new project settings set to NTSC, but I lose all my chapter information. Anybody else run into this?

    Authoring Mode really only governs the size of the Preview window. When you export to BD, DVD, or Flash, Encore will transcode any media that is not legal for the export format.

  • End of file error - avi exported from PPRO

    Encore 1.5
    PPro 1.5
    I have a project with 16 avi files exported from PPro. Four of them caused the error. I re-exported them and one was fixed. The other three keep causing the error.
    I am starting to get a little crazy trying to figure out what is going on. Seems I remember that if the audio and video duration get goofed up in PPro then Encore gets cranky.
    Is there a way I can fix this other than re-editing from scratch?
    Thanks in advance.

    Mark,
    Are you Exporting as DV-AVI files? If you are, and they are mux'ed (Audio & Video multiplexed into one file), try as elemental steams, i.e. Video only DV-AVI and Audio only as PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit (or AC3 if you're doing DD 5.1 SS). If you have tried as elemental streams, then try with mux'ed DV-AVI (both Video & Audio). Elemental streams work best for me, and there are only the extra few steps:
    Import Video (only) as Timeline
    Import Audio (only) as Asset
    Drag Audio from the Project Panel to appropriate Timeline. With proper Export from PP, they WILL match up perfectly in Duration.
    With mux'ed files, you just Import as Timeline and are done - if that works.
    Yes, Encore does get really picky. I always Export as elemental streams and never have any issues, but some have, and a mux'ed DV-AVI works for them - why? I do not know.
    I do not know if there are any limitations with PP & Encore 1.5, as I have never used them, but others here WILL know if you need to watch out for version-specific issues.
    Good luck,

  • Exporting video from PPro CS4 to Encore CS4 is jerky

    Hi Guys
    I need help urgently as I have to finish my client's work today:
    I used a HDD camcoder to record video & I downloaded to my PC via Bridge
    The video is in MPEG format
    I used the media encoder to convert from MPEG to AVI: microsoft avi, pal, 720 X 576, lower field first, 48Khz audio
    I imported in PPro and edited: used fast color correction, dip to black video transition, edited audio using soundbooth
    I then went to each video clip I edited and reversed field dominance (set to always deinterlace, then tried flicker removal)
    Then I imported the sequence into Encore using adobe dynamic link, and then created a timeline
    If I test the video in Encore or on TV, guess what? The video is crap - it's jerky
    I have also tried to first export the video from PPro to an AVI file and then import into Encore as AVI but it's the same bad result
    Please, I don't know what to try now. I tried converting using ulead video studio from MPEG to AVI, using DV-AVI settings: frame based, 720 X 576, 48KHz audio, type 2 compressor
    The other thing is I don't know what the media encoder uses as a compressor (type 1 or 2) and how come there's no option of choosing DV-AVI. There's only microsoft AVI.
    Many thanks in advance guys

    Glad that you got it sorted.
    The "Preview" in Encore is just that, an emulation. You method of Burning the DVD RW is the best method to check all aspects of an authored DVD. Besides some of the quality issues you noted, there are also some other "gottchas" in En Preview. One of the most notable is the "black flash," when using Button Transitions, or transitioning from a Play First to a Menu. The emulation is just not perfect. Also, depending on which navigational aids one uses, things can work differently, than with a remote on a set-top player and can trip one up when testing a navigational scheme.
    I even find that testing on hardware is preferable to doing so on a software player, unless the delivery is exclusively to a computer and not to a set-top player.
    Good luck,

  • Quicktime movie export from Flash CS3 is skipping frame.

    When I try to export Quicktime movie from Flash CS3, the
    resulting mov file is skipping frames. i.e.: The movie is showing
    frame number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 12, 15
    etc...
    As you can see the frame number 7 is repeated 3 times and
    frame 8 and 9 are nowhere to be found.
    The last configuration I used is 960x540, Sorenson video 3
    medium quality, 25 fps, keyframe every 25 frames. 6400 kbits/s.
    I tried various configurations,with different codecs and even
    with keyframe all frames and I always get simillar problems.
    Anyone have an idea what is going on, and how to fix this?
    Thank you,
    Olivier.

    The QT exporter in Flash is honestly my least favorite
    feature - not the feature itself but how it
    works (or how it doesn't work in some cases). For me it is
    almost unusable unless you have a very
    short timeline, small stage, lower frame rate - like AS
    generated effects or something - otherwise,
    for true frame accuracy to video output - it is not reliable
    enough and not fast enough for any real
    world production environment.
    So typically for me - I love SWF2Video (www.flashants.com) as
    it takes any SWF and makes it into an
    AVI that is frame accurate no matter what the frame rate is -
    quite incredible - enough so that I
    always felt it should have been bundled with Flash (as well
    as Wacom tablets).
    Harmony is an incredible product - as is SOLO and TBS (Toon
    Boom mStudio) - each of those programs
    are dedicated animation programs designed for output to video
    - Flash has a lot of hats to fill and
    it was never really designed for animation to video even
    though many of us have found it suitable
    for all intents and purposes as an animation program for full
    production.
    But all in all - the quicktime exporter doesn't really
    deliver how we would expect it too I am sorry
    to say - I only hope it works as well as it does on the Mac
    (Mac users could always choose to export
    to Quicktime Video but not PC users).
    For now if I am exporting to video I keep it all on the
    timeline or nested in Graphic symbols or use
    the SWF2Video tool.
    hope this helps.

  • How can I restore proper PDF exports from InDesign CS3 or CS5 in Snow Leopard?

    I had no problems exporting PDFs from InDesign CS3 (on a Mac Pro running 10.6.4 Snow Leopard) until this past weekend, when all the fonts appeared bitmapped or thin and raggedy, and the images lost some color depth and contrast. When I copied the InDesign document to my MacBook Pro laptop, also running 10.6.4, the PDF emerged with its original quality. Calls to Adobe support referred me to documents concerning incompatibilities between InDesign and Snow Leopard. One of these documents was several pages long, but I could not print it from the Adobe website to my HP All-In-One Officejet, because one-third of the document was hidden under a white panel. This makes the document impractical for troubleshooting, because I don't have enough screen real estate (even on a 23-inch display) to keep the document open along with all the pages and dialogue boxes needed for reference. Back to phone and chat support, I was advised to upgrade my Creative Suite Premium CS3 to CS5 ($800!!!) and purchase the latest Acrobat Pro upgrade ($200), with no guarantee that this $1,000 cost would actually solve the problem. I did download the trial version of InDesign CS5, and it did NOT solve the problem. I'm also concerned that the problem did not exist until last weekend. Prior to that, my CS3 and Snow Leopard combination worked just fine. I then checked the forums and was dismayed at the variety of problems associated with PDF files, for which there seems to be no general fix. Meanwhile, I have hundreds of ads I'm supposed to be preparing and emailing as PDF proofs to businesses around the country. I have two books of 120 and 256 pages that need to be submitted to printers in PDF format with all kinds of fonts and image files belonging to my clients. The last time I submitted a book to a printer via email, the job went perfectly. This time, and next, it's obvious I won't be able to send PDFs at all! If that's the case, my 27-year-old directory business will be unable to absorb the expenses necessary to start all over with new computers and software, and I will be out of business. Period. So-- does anyone have a way to fix this? I would surely be grateful.
    David Henderson

    I'm on a local network, built on Apple's Airport Extreme. but I'm the only computer user on it. I use it for transferring files between the desktop computer (Apple Mac Pro) and laptop (Apple MacBook Pro) and, occasionally, to print from the laptop to a Xerox Phaser printer.
    About a year ago, I added an Apple Airport Express to the network, allowing me to play iTunes music from the laptop through a Panasonic BluRay player connected to a home theatre sound system. No problems of this nature appeared with that installation.
    About four months ago, we connected a DirecTV satellite receiver system to the D-Link router that carries wired network service from the desktop computer to the Xerox printer. The satellite TV system includes a series of modems that allows DVR recordings to be accessed and played from any of the TVs in the house. (As you would now perceive, I run my publishing business from my home). However, this set-up has been functioning for about four months, and I did not encounter the PDF problem until last weekend.
    Now -- about the fonts.
    Because of the many ads that I publish from various sponsors, it is possible that different versions of the same fonts have invaded my system. In the "missing font" alerts I get, InDesign frequently is seeking TT or T1 versions, which I replace with Adobe fonts when possible. Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium included a fairly large collection, which it keeps in one folder.  The Apple OS also includes a bunch in a separate font management folder; and there are carry-over fonts that came with the business when I acquired it 10 years ago. Some of those fonts may go back 25 years to the book's inception. However, in the past several years, I have generally rebuilt all the ads that appear in my publications, substituting newer versions of fonts. Hence, the preflight program has been able to locate and include all the necessary fonts in the packages that go to the printers.
    Once again, I have been able to export good PDF files for all the varieties of ads and books included in my system, until last weekend. One of the documents is built entirely with Helvetica Narrow, for which I have only one version.. Another document consists mainly of Times, and there are 3 or 4 versions of that font in the system; but the version contained in the document has not changed from when it exported properly.
    So... I guess the complexities involved in the network and/or fonts could be part of the problem, as you suggest, but golly -- I hope not. The last thing I want to do is disrupt and rebuild the network or font collections. The font situation especially would set back production for months if not years, because so many individual ads and off-site clients would be involved in the process.
    I'm sorry if I provided more details than you expected. I didn't mean to take so much of your time.
    Thank you.

  • Export from Premiere CS3 Dimmed.

    I just installed Premiere CS3. I've compiled a simple sequence of about 200 jpegs and I'm trying to export them to Encore to burn the little show on DVD. The "Export to Encore" option is dimmed in the export menu. I have ran the sequence through the media encoder according to the tutorial on the Adobe website. What I am doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance
    Biju Mathew.

    You have to educate your customer: EPS is an outdated and lossy file type because it does neither support transparency nor color management and should be avoided to be used with InDesign or Photoshop or Illustrator.
    I don't understand, why so many insist in using EPS?

  • Jerky Footage When exported from PPro

    Hi everyone, I hope someone can PLEASE help with this.
    Ive read loads online, but failed to find a solution!
    Once again I turn to the Online Community for guidance and support.
    Equipment: Sony NX5 on a Monopod.
    Captured: Full HQ 1920*1080 P 25fps
    Pc: Win 7 professional, i79477ok @ 3.50 Ghz, Graphics card: GeForce GTX-470. 12G ram.
    Editing using PPro cs6. Timeline rendered, then exported (media encoder cs6) using my own present: h.264  720*576 25 fps, PAL, Progressive, Aspect: D1/DV PAL WIDESCREEN 16:9 (1.45.87) Bit rate 10, 14.
    When I am zooming out, form an object, in camera its fine, once imported to PC, playing back using VLC is fine, but when exported, (using above) I see stutter on the same "zooming out". Project played on PC and to SD DVD and on both its "jerky"
    What am I doing wrong, doing nuts here - Video attached below.
    PS - I cant really see the "Jerky footage" on the below clip, but when I watch it on my monitor full screen you can see it then, trust me.

    Yes I used a Manfrotto MN561BHDV-1 Fluid Video Monopod.
    I didnt use "pull back" I was merely "zooming out" and it seems as the footage is NOT zooming out fluid, it zooming out jerky.
    Do you think my export is the issue?
    Im currently trying, h.346, mpeg-dvd. mpeg, avi and QT... final destination is a DVD DISK.
    Any suggestions?

  • Exporting from InDesign CS3 to PDF: Headers disappearing

    Hello all,
    I have a bit of a problem I can't seem to fix. I looked all over the support forums, documentation, etc., but haven't found anything that resembles this.
    I'm trying to create accessible PDFs in Indesign CS3 (Windows XP). I tagged everything in the document, lined them up correctly in the structure pane, mapped tags to styles, and exported to PDF with tags enabled.
    The problem is the headers (H1, H2, etc.) don't show up in the tags or content windows in the Order Panel (Touchup Reading Order) in Acrobat Pro 8. Instead, they show up with Span tags. Alt text for my images are showing up, which leads me to believe I'm doing something wrong.
    I don't get it. Am I missing a step? Is this just an oversight that CS4 solves?
    Also, InDesign's Structure pane doesn't correspond correctly with Acrobat's Reading Order. It looks to me like the Reading Order is determined by the order in which objects appear in the original InDesign document. Stuff that is sent to the back ends up at the top of the Reading Order in Acrobat. This is a big issue for screen readers.
    Any thoughts? I'm at a loss. I'd rather not retag all my headers in Acrobat.
    thanks
    Kurt

    Even so - I don't know why - but the problem is with some fonts that the Euro doesn't show.
    I always use the Euro font for the Euro symbol and never have an issue.
    Even if you do manage to get the Helvetica Euro to show up in the PDF there is a chance it can drop out at the RIP stage and not appear in print - I've seen it happen far too many times.
    Euro font is your friend.

  • FLV exported from PPro jumps up and down...

    Hello... I'm exporting an FLV from Premiere Pro CS4 (Mac). When playing back on both Adobe Media Player and when posted on my website it jumps up and down periodically - the whole video pops upward several inches, then back down again, then up again...etc. Has anyone had this before? Ideas? Have played with export settings to no avail. Any help or suggestions most appreciated. Tx.

    Thank you for all your replies. In examining my projects details more closely to post here (see below) I think I've had an "Aha" moment. It seems the jumping happens on the clips that the GenArts effects are applied to. (The video isn't up on the website as I didn't want to post it as long as this issue pertained. Will let you know if I get around to putting it up for entertainment...er...educational value...but right now would rather spend time sorting the problem out.;)
    I think if I exported this Sequence and made another project with that clip as a whole unit THEN exported an FLV it would probably solve the jumping - IF it is indeed being caused by the effects. Although it always irks to have to add a bunch of steps....
    Now - as CS4 doesn't export AVI from a MAC :-( (...does anyone know if CS5 does? It is a preferred format and I can't believe CS4 took it away...) what would be the best format to export as, keeping in mind I don't want to lose any quality... .mov? .mp4?
    Export Settings
    Format: FLV/FV4
    Preset: FLV - Same as Source Flash 8 and Higher
    Codec On2 VP6 (tried Sorenson Park…same prob. and lousy resolution…)
    Frame Rate: Same as Source
    Bitrate Encoding: VBR (tried CBR…same prob.)Encoding Passes: One (tried 2…same problem)
    Bitrate: 1,500
    Undershoot  90% target
    Source footage is mostly .avi with an .mp4 for the logo at the end.
    Audio is .wav
    **Effects: Some brief Gen Arts Posterize, Edge Rays, Glint, Glare, Lens Flare. All applied individually, not layered on top of each other.**
    (I will check with GenArts on the apparent affect of their effects.)
    Thanks again for your input.

  • Exporting from PPro CC - Exporting using Match Sequence Settings issue with 24 bit audio

    I am having an issue exporting my sequence which contains final AIFF mix (24 bit 48 kHz) into a 'same-as-source' ProRes 422 file with 24 bit audio. I am specifically trying to export media with 'Match Sequence Settings' checked to create an identical output of what my sequence is. I wind up only creating a PR422 with 16 bit audio rather than 24 bit audio.
    My sequence contains ProRes 422 media and 24 bit AIFF final stereo mix (1 audio file) from our Sound department.
    My sequence is currently setup as "Custom" at 1920x1080, 23.976 fps, Square Pixels, Progressive, etc. Audio is 48 kHz (I don't see an option for choosing different bit rates in the 'Sequence Settings').
    Using 'Match Sequence Settings', my options to alter the audio are "greyed out" and unavailable. I'm not sure why 'Match Sequence Settings' doesn't recognize that I am cutting with 24 bit audio and, instead, only exports 16 bit audio.

    Always skip Match Sequence Settings and set up the export manually.

  • Dynamic link with After Effects workflow questions... (exporting from PPro)

    I have CS5 Master on Win7 x64 pc
    I have a Premiere sequence with an AE linked comp in it...
    If I am using proxies (created at high quality, not low) or pre-renders (in AE comp), would that have any affect on render/export times in Premiere Pro (or Adobe Media Encoder)?
    What is the best workflow for having AE comps in Premiere to maximize export times in PPro?
    Thanks all!

    Umm... sure? To be perfectly honest, I've never tried it!
    As it is, I don't think that's the case; you can set a post-render action in AE to import the rendered file back into your project, but I don't think there's an automatic replacement or addition to the existing comp. You'd have to do that manually. But given that, if you're already rendering out a finished comp, why not just import it into Premiere Pro and forget about the Dynamic Link?
    A proxy in AE is essentially a low-resolution version of a footage item, not a finished comp. So short of doing a bait-and-switch where you build your comp, render it out of AE, import the rendered file back in, and put it as a layer into the finished comp (on top, presumably, since that will basically null the rendering of the other layers below), I don't believe there is a more straightforward workflow.

Maybe you are looking for
