PPro Dynamic Link To Encore (File Allocation)

Hello all,
First, I've just started using PPro CS5 and what a treat it's been. Thanks to the Adobe team and to the regulars in the Hardware Forum for all the help.
If my work flow is: Assets > Edit In PPro > Dynamic Link to Encore > build IMG... then what would be the best way to spread the files across a 4-drive system?
System
- W7-64 bit, Prod Prem with PPro 5.0.1 (and now 5.0.2 as of last night)
- i7930 OC 3.4GHz (water cooled)
- Asus P6T SE
- 12GB RAM
- GTX470 (with hack, but no longer needed after last night )
- Coolermaster Haf X
- Antec 1000W power
- C: OS and programs (150 GB Velociraptor)
- F: PPro project and source files (captured videos and music) (F3)
- G: PPro media cache, preview files (F3)
- H: "masters", page file (18 GB) (F3)
- no option to Raid (will most likely happen in the distant future)
- DVD-R, BD-R
- so far this system is "fast" and stable for me. Loving it!
Project
- DV > DVD (basic editing with no files or apps applying out-of-the-ordinary tasks)
- Future Use: HDV > BDR (basic editing with no files or apps applying out-of-the-ordinary tasks)
Thoughts
- I'm fairly confident in my PPro allocations after reading Generic Guidline For Disk Setup (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/662972) but always looking to tweak and improve. This is more with the addition of Encore to the mix.
- I'm thinking the Encore files would go on G and the IMG file would be kicked out to H. But if Encore makes heavy use of the media cache and previews on G, then maybe the Encore files and IMG should go on H. Opinions?
- Any better way to allocate the files?
- Any suggestions on my page file size/location?
These initial projects are also my way of fine-tuning my new work flow, computer configurations/settings,
Thanks,

When you dynamic link to Encore, you send it nothing really: it opens an instance of the pproheadless which gives Encore what it wants until it is time to transcode it, and then it compresses the PR sequence using the Encore settings you set for the project and for that sequence (ones like the ones Encore tells you it can't load). So yes, it matters.
Has Encore CS5.1 (the version that is part of PR CS5.5) worked for you before?

To build CD's???
What problem does Encore have with DL?
If DL is not working properly for you the way around this is to export from Premiere to either mpeg2-dvd for DVD or BluRay H.264 for BD-disks and import the files in Encore.

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.

Why Dynamic Link to Encore when CUDA doesn't help Encore?

Ok, so I just finished cutting together a 90 minute video and used Dynamic Link to bring it to Encore. My source files were AVCHD and HDV mixed, so Encore had to transcode them. I attempted to do a transcode before burning, and got all the way to 99% in the transcode when I got an error message saying that I couldn't transcode the file because it was open in another program (I had closed PPro, but apparently it was still open?). Anyway, I tried hitting "build" and got the same error, again at 99%. So I went back to PPro and used it to export an mpeg2-dvd file which I then imported into Encore and burned to DVD.
Now, though I would appreciate some suggestions as to the source of my error when transcoding with Dynamic Link, that's not the root of my post... here it is: I'm not likely to use Dynamic Link again when Encore's (failed) transcode took nearly two hours for my 90 minute video, while doing a direct export from Premiere took only 40 minutes. I can only assume that the difference in time is because PPro is a) 64 bit, and b) can take advantage of the CUDA (I did all my CC and transitions using CUDA effects). Until Encore hits 64 bit and can take advantage of CUDA, I doubt I'll be using Dynamic Link again... anyone have any insight or comments?

I'm not sure that the information is correct. Test project with dynamic link from PR to EN. I right-clicked and picked transcode now. Using windows task manager processes, the only programs using cpu are encore (60-80%) and premiere (10-20%). I happened to have AME open, but it was using zero.
I do not have a CUDA card, but I don't think it matters for this test.
I thought we had been told (probably in CS3 or CS4) that Encore was using ame, but this doesn't look like it. What engine is actually doing the EN transcoding? It certainly appeared to be running internally to Encore. Is there any difference in how Encore is transcoding between using "transcode now" versus transcoding through "build"?

Dynamic Link to Encore from Premiere Issues

I created a simple After Effects composition and Dynamic Linked it to Premiere Pro. (All CS4 Programs) I completed the editing process, and Dynamic Linked my timeline into Encore. In Encore, the Premiere Pro timeline appears, but it does not represent the After Effects composition within the Premiere Pro Timeline.
I am unsure as to why this occurs.
Also, I have issues with getting the DVD's I burn to play in other computer/DVD players. The discs I create work perfectly fine in my computer, as well as my DVD player but I am unsure why they do not work in other people's devices. The discs are DVD-R discs.

So you must downrez at some point in the workflow. Some users have problems and/or think they get better quality out of direct PR/AME exports than using DL for this purpose.
I would test the workflow by creating three short test sequences - one with a clip from one camera, a second from the other, and a third with both in a sequence using the same settings you are using in your edit. I would use the "drag a clip" to the new item method for making each of the first two sequences. By short I mean 30 seconds to 2 minutes with a mixture of still and action.
Export using whatever method you pick of those recommended, but use CBR 8 instead of VBR etc. Bring the resulting files into Encore. Yes, look at the files exported on the computer, and look at Encore preview, etc, but also burn to a disk and watch on multiple TVs. There are lots of issues in best quality.

Premiere Pro CS4 dynamic link to Encore CS4

I'm a newbe and I have a fundamental question about the Premiere Encore workflow. When I edit a project in Premier and I use the File>Dynamic Link>Send to Encore command, I get "Start New Project" from Encore. How do I update the edits I did in Premiere to a current project in Encore? Is there a way to Dynamic Link Premeire edits while I'm in Encore?

I have the exact same problem. I linked them together, but when I made the change in Premier Pro, the changes did not update in Encore. Everything
I read and watch on Adobe says it will happen automatically, but I'm not seeing it happen. Is there any way to replace an existing timeline in Encore with its updated sequence in Premier?

Openeining AE PPro Dynamic Link Projects on PPro only systems

Hi All...
We have a combination of systems.
Some systems include AE and PPro, some are PPro only.
We have had some instances of Project corruption when attempting to open Projects that include AE dynamic link files on systems that do not have AE installed.
Is it possible to configure a PPro only system with the Watch folder (and hence the rendering engine of AE) so that it can open these projects if simple non AE changes have to be made?
Thanks,

CS4 Premier Pro Dynamic Link to Encore Question

I have DL'ed (Dynamic Linked) a project in PP CS4 to Encore CS4 and it worked just fine except that in the sequence in PP CS4 I edited some of the audio tracks with render and replace using Sooundbooth CS4. The audio effects I added in Soundbooth CS4 played back as encoded in PP CS4 on the time line but not in the final product from Encore.
What would have caused this? Can added effects in Soundbooth be DL to Encore CS4 or do I have to render out in PP CS4 then pull the assets to Encore?
Much thanks in advance for assistance.

I don't believe that any of the effects I wanted to apply in SB were
actually applied but there are other cuts and edits I would not want to
loose by re-applying the clips to the timeline. Are you saying that the
edits would remain in tact and that theoriginal video and audio with
edits would be replace? Also, you should know that some of the final SB
effects that I added (which were not added to the audio clips) contained
other SB effects that were retain and had to do with filtering noise and
very lager gain adjustments which I would NOT want to loose just to
recover the more subtle effects lost in the last SB effects I wanted to add.
So my concerning is replacing what is on the time line now with raw
files in the project panel.
Does that help in explaining my concerns?
Thanks again!!

Using Dynamic Link to Encore -- Can't do it in PP CC?

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Surely I have it wrong. Premiere Pro was upgraded to CC two years ago, but I cannot use the Dynamic Link to create DVDs. I can use my Premiere Pro CS6 to use the dynamic link to get my sequences in Encore CS6, but because there is no upgrade to CC for Encore, I can't use the dynamic link (with PP CC).
Are you freaking kidding me? What's the point of coming up with this amazing Dynamic Link if you can't use it anymore? Somebody is really nuts here in the development of PP CC and lack of development for Encore.
Am I missing something? Should I be building my DVDs in a new CC program that I'm not aware of?

>lack of development for Encore
Adobe was FORCED to stop development, see #8 here for why http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1337952?tstart=0

Dynamic link to external files

Is there a way to dynamically link to an external file?
Currently, when you link to a file, RH puts a copy of it in its
working directory and lists it as a Baggage File. Once that's done,
that file's dead; if the original file gets updated, I have to
manually re-link to that file so that it can update its Baggage
File version of the file. If the original file gets updated 30
times per week, that's 30 manual udpates I would have to do. (Or
once at compile time, but even that's a stretch to have to
remember!)
Is there a way to link to that always-evolving file and so
that it only grabs a copy of it at compile time?

I don't think this is built in to RoboHelp - I don't have the
latest version, though. I take it this file is not HTML. What type
of file might make a difference in how any workaround is
implemeted.
My first thought would be to make it always external but then
it has to be shipped with the CHM file. To link to an external
file, Micosoft has a javascript function called parser which will
find the correct path if it is installed in the same directory as
the .chm. This is explained in HelpWorkshop's help file. I could
send you the code if you'd like.
In using this, I have found that every file type responds
differently - some open directly in help viewer, some open their
own application, and some throw up a dialog that it might be
unsafe.
Another option would be to have it edited while in your
RoboHelp project directory. i.e. consider that file the "original."
Unfortunately, I think you'd have to share the entire project to
allow someone to do this and that might open another can of worms.
Good luck,
John

Dynamic linking of external file

I try to link to an external file, and display it as the text file from oracle report. The path is determined at runtime. I searched on the Oracle Report's Help and found a hint on SRW.SET_HYPERLINK(...), but I couldn't get it work. Please help.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.
Regards,
TD

To link to a file dynamically, you need to use the "read from file" property against a column in the data-model.
If the filenames are stored in the database, you can use a simple query to create the column to return the filenames. Otherwise, you can use a PL/SQL formula column of type "char" to return the names.
Once you've created the column, set the "read from file" property to "yes" and set the format to "text". You can then create a field in the layout based on this column value.
The above, is the typical way of handling this. You can also use srw.set_field() to change the value of a field in a format trigger. This is less efficient but useful for some cases of dynamic values.

Dynamic Link with Encore, Photoshop, and After Effects

Intention 1: Im using Photoshop CS5 (PS5) & After Effects CS5 (AE5) to create a DVD menu for Encore CS5 (EN5). I used the 'Film & Video' preset in PS5 to make a standard HD 1440 x 1080px image size; which looks the same in AE5. My problem is in PS5 the 'Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction' size is the size i want the universal size to be. Its a more stretched version which looks better to me, but may not work well with HD monitors (as this DVD will be played on a 17" laptop).
Question 1: Is there any way to have AE5 recognize the 'pixel aspect ratio correction' from PS5 and make the composition settings that size in AE5?
```
Question 2: What are standard sizes for computer monitors that would work welll mostly with the Dynamic Link in AE5 and EN5 working with PS5?

Yes, it can be very confusing. With CS5, however, as long as you keep it all the same, it doesn't require setting. But you do need to understand it.
Just start with the help page:

Adobe pr pro cs4 dynamic link to Encore cs4: updating changes made to pr pro timeline

Recently I did a project in adobe pr pro cs4 and exported it to encore through adobe dynamic link to create a DVD. When I saw some mistakes, I went in pr pro and corrected them. It automatically updated the chages in encore. Finally, I created my DVD and burned it. Next day, I saw a minor spelling mistake so I opened pr pro and encore separately but any corrections I did in pr pro did not updated in encore! What is a better way to correct this as I do not want recreate the whole DVD project again by sending it again through adobe dynamic link?

You have to go into Encore and select Revert to Original for your Linked timeline. Any changes made after transcoding won't show up without reverting. And yes, that means you have to transcode again.

Dynamic link in Encore to get AE project, bluray, after transcoding, file still shows untranscoded

Hi,
I have an After Effects file. I have several comps that are 1920x1080 at 29.97 drop frame. When I go to Encore, I use, Import After Effects Composition and import several compositions from my AE project. I've tried using both Automatic transcode settings and I've tried to set the settings myself. When I transcode, Encore goes through the motions, but when it's done, the file still shows "Untranscoded". I have checked the project folder and confirmed that the transcoded files are indeed there, but Encore still shows them as untranscoded. What is going on?
Thanks,
Stan

Hi,
Transcod your comp in AME. Choose H.264 Blu-Ray if you have more than 2 hours videos.
Bye

Dynamic Link Buttons & xml file

Hi All
I'm calling an external XML File with a structure of ;
<papers>
<paper id="1">
<name>Net Paper One</name>
<description>
~~~~~~~~~~
</description>
</paper>
</papers>
which i'm calling using
<mx:HTTPService id="myNetPapers"
url="xml/newearthpapers.xml" result="netPapersResultHandler(event)"
resultFormat="e4x"/>
and
private function
netPapersResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
xmlNetPapers = event.result.paper as XMLList;
Initially i wanted to use a combobox for the name and display
the description in a textbox.
How can i dynamically disply a Link Button for each name of
the xml document and still display the description as normal. The
link buttons i want to display horizontally across the top of the
page.
Any suggesttions

/* resultCombo.dataProvider = xmlNetPapers.name; */
createButtons();
private function createButtons():void
for each(var name:String in xmlNetPapers.name)
var myButton:Button = new LinkButton();
myButton.label = name;
myButton.addEventListener("buttonDown", buttonClick);
resultBox.addChild(myButton);
/* private function comboChanged(eventObj:Event):void
