Replace Asset Chapter Errors

Exporting out of Premiere as DV AVI for use in Encore 2.0
I have a wedding video that needed some corrections. The overall length has changed, so the exact position of the chapters has changed. The total number of chapters remains the same, as well as the chapter names. But whenever I replace the asset in Encore with the new one, Encore seems to still be using the old chapter locations, so they're all off.
I would like to have Encore see the new positions of those chapter markers and keep them linked to the same buttons so I don't have to reauthor this beast. Anyone know how to do that?

> Originally created as Sequence markers in Premiere, exported out as DV AVI. I would have thought that Encore would see the new markers and make the adjustments automatically, but it doesn't seem to be doing so.
Yet again, I must reiterate what the proper practise is here in these situations.
DO NOT try to replace assets with something using the same name, but a different cut/edit/length. This is asking for trouble.
When you import an asset/create a timeline, you are creating files that refer back to assets, giving details of those assets.
If something changes this much, delete & reimport with a new name. It is an Abstraction Layer tool, and does not have a special "telepathic mode".
Please try to remember Encore is an authoring/assembly tool, and NOT an editor.

  • Replacing assets in the project. without losing chapter marks.

    From a workflow point of view, this is not a proper way, but since I'm a mere hobbyist, not so much of an issue.
    From PP I export an M2V file and an AC3 file, import those as assets into the Encore project, create a timeline, set my chapter markers, create a moving menu, render, great. No problem.
    Then I decide to change something in my timeline, so back to PP, modify my timeline, export again and then....
    b Try to replace assets
    but that does not work as I expect. (The manual and help file are rather abbreviated on these topics). Either I lose all my previous markers or I get a second clip right after the first one on my timeline, or - even worse - I get, after renaming files in Explorer, new assets on my timeline with the correct length, but cannot extend my timeline to reflect the length that is shown in the project window.
    A second problem I have encountered is that there is no way to save markers, no way to replace an asset in a timeline without losing all markers and, after creating new markers, having them revert to the default names and forgetting all the previously set names and links. Effectively, you have to start all over.
    What is the best way, once you have a timeline with chapter markers on them, to replace your asset?
    Any suggestions? TIA

    This is not the first time I am re-thinking my work flow to match the way Adobe designed their software . . . conforming if you will.
    Based on the way Premiere and Encore is designed, I think Adobe is expecting ALL changes to the video content to be completely ironed out, video set in stone, before adding chapter markers and exporting to Encore . . . as if adding chapters is part of the DVD burning process rather than part of the video itself. I have been around long enough to understand where that thinking comes from, but it is not very visionary thinking oh great architects of Adobe.
    Conforming my work flow: (high level work flow)
    1> burn DVD without chapters
    2> customer reviews the video content without chapters
    3> customer submits change requests
    4> goto step one until no video content change requests
    ----- architectural divide ----
    5> Still in Premiere, add chapters & export to Encore
    6> Now in Encore, edit chapter text
    7> set the poster frames
    6> burn DVD with chapters
    7> customer reviews chapter information
    8> customer submits chapter change requests
    9> goto step six until no chapter content change rquests
    This is the workflow I will use conform, but it is not the workflow I want to use. Two reasons:
    1> I want my customer to have the convienience of using chapters during the video review process.
    2> I do not want to put my customer through two aproval processes.

  • Replace asset for a Premiere dynamic linked sequence

    I linked Premiere sequences via Dynamic Link to Encore. I had trouble with Encore freezing during transcode. Therfore to make it quick I rendered the sequences to MPEG-2 from Premiere using AME. This worked. I tried to replace the assets, but when I click right on an imported sequence Replace Asset is greyed out. Even it is a sequence from Premiere it is an asset and should be able to be replaced. I can't remove the sequence asset from the timeline in Encore, because all the chapter markers and links are set already. It is an instructional DVD of 4 hours with 120 chapter markers and 12 menus. Nothing you want to do over again.
    I tried to use Locate Transcode instead. My thought is that I can point to the transcoded MPEG-2 files to have Encore "replace" the asset. I got an error that the length of the sequence and the transode file don't match. I don't know why this is since it is the same timeline that was just rendered from Premiere.
    Does anybody has any insight or know a proper way to replace a Dynamic Linked Sequence with the rendered MPEG-2 file?

    Hi Stan,
    apparently a DL sequence is not treated as a regular asset, which is not understandable. There should be a possibility to replace a DL sequence with another clip. Revert to original doesn't work either. In my case I wanted to replace the DL sequence with the encoded files. I encoded the files directly from Premiere due to the AME queue not using GPU problem. As a workaround for my case I found the option "Locate transcoded file". I could point to the transcoded files and was able to burn the disc.

  • Replacing Assets With Slightly Longer Versions?

    I am putting the finishing touches on a 1.75hr, NTSC 4:3, 14 Timelines, 5.1 (AC3), 2 lead-in AVIs, one Main Menu + 3 Scene Selection Menus (non-animated) and one Play All Playlist Project and have done several +RW burns to check things out. I have made a few minor changes to the AVI (uncompressed) and AC3 files in PP2 - edited, and re-Exported. Mainly adding 2sec. of black at the beginning as some of the Timelines seem to start (set-top players) into the first Title, or Clip; changed some Audio levels and panned the 5.1 a bit, corrected some of my spelling errors; and trimmed a frame, or two, where the Handles were too short at Transitions. Nothing major.
    In a Save_As Encore Project, I used Revert To Original, so that the Transcoding info would be cleared. Shut down Encore, moved my old AVIs and AC3s to another folder, and moved my new ones into the original folder, from which the old files (same file names) had been Imported As Asset, into Encore. Nearly everything was fine.
    I did notice that on three of the Timelines, when played on set-top, the Audio and Video were cut off, near the new end, but at what I would guess to be the timing for the Assets, that I replaced. It was as if Encore had memorized the exact length of the previous Asset, and applied that to the replacement, truncating the last few seconds (about the length of the Black Video added in PP2, give, or take, the few frames removed, etc.).
    Now, I have made the final corrections to the AVIs & AC3s and need to complete the Project. My question is one of workflow. Since Encore seems to recall the old length, and a few of the Assets have changed length again, though not by much, is it better to delete those Assets from their respective Timelines, delete them from the Project, re-Import and just place them on the correct Timeline, or is there an easier way? Or, is there a way to tell Encore to forget what it remembered, regarding the exact length of those Assets? Most of the work is in the navigational linking, and the menus have all been tweaked to my satisfaction, so Id rather not start a new Project. If its just doing the delete, delete, re-Import, drag to Timeline, I can live with that. Just wondering if there is an easier way, that I am not aware of.
    Also, and a quick test would probably answer this for me, if I delete an Asset from its Timeline, will the Menu Links be broken, in the time it will take me to re-Import and place the new Asset on the Timeline? Id just rather not destroy my Links if possible. Im guessing that the Links go to the respective Timeline, whether its empty, for a moment, or not.
    I know that Neil Wilkes has cautioned against replacing Assets in Encore, but it has worked, nearly perfectly on this Project, with one minor little glitch.
    Any thoughts, pointers, cautions, etc. will be greatly appreciated.
    [Note to Neil: I dont want to ignore your warnings, as I greatly appreciate all of your posts, but this Project is almost there.]

    PS, maybe I should have posted to the main EncoreDVD2 forum, rather than Importing Assets, but I thought that this question fit here. If it needs to be moved, I understand.

    Frans,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Sorry that I did not update that thread - my bad. As I got no replies, I sort of forgot about it, until today. Thanks for that "trip down memory lane."
    What I did - Deleted the Assets, and did a Save_As (a Save would probably have worked too, but I do not like overwriting Projects, just in case). I then Closed, and Opened my Save_As Project, Imported those new Assets, and the Menu links were just waiting for me, so not that much work. Problem solved.
    Upon a few years' reflection, one course of action, that would likely have saved a few steps, would have been to clean the Media Cache. Even when on uses Revert to Original, or Replace Asset, En can still "remember" some things in the Media Cache, especially if one has already done a few burns, as was my case. In 2007, I was not as aware of that behavior, as I have become with many more Projects, and years of reading of others' issues.
    On on hand, En's "memory" can be good, such as the linking to Menus, etc., but OTOH, can get in the way. Guess that we users will just have to benefit from one, and work around the other, as there does not seem to be a way to force "selective memory."
    Good luck, and let us know how it works for you.

    PS - from 2007, I am surprised that this thread survived. So very many (and not just mine) were lost forever with several forum changes. One never knows what will spring out of the "vault... "

  • Replacing Assets Works, and Doesn't Work.

    I'm using a Dell 720 PC, QuadCore processor, Windows XP with all current service packs and patches, 4GB RAM, and Premier Production Studio CS3 (with all patches).
    I have a dual-boot system, with a "Clean" install (only the OS, Premier, TMPGEncXpress and Cineform NeoScene) on one disk, and a "Messy" install on another disk (all the above listed software, plus everything else under the sun, including anti-virus and anti-spyware software, email/ftp clients Nero 7 etc).
    I have an HD (1440x1080, 30FPS) project which was originally created on the Messy system. It's about 8 minutes long and created with a Canon XH-A1. The project consists of a video file (created in Adobe Media Encoder from the original Premier Pro CS3 project), one menu, one sub-menu, and two audio tracks.
    I booted to the Clean system and opened the project. I had done some work on the audio tracks, and rather than re-do the entire DVD and menus, I used Encore's "Replace Asset" feature and swapped the old audio track with the new one. No problem.
    Then I wanted to replace the main video asset with another, slightly higher quality version. I used the "Replace Asset" feature, as above, to replace the old video (a 250 MB M2V file) with the new one (also an M2V file, just slightly larger).
    It seems Encore replaces the video in a 2-step process. The progress bar zipped across to 100% on the first step, then rapidly went to 50% on the second step. From there, the time-to-completion indicator continued to increase, but the process never progressed past 50%. I looked at Windows' Task Manager, and my Quad Core processor was running at 25% overall and there was almost no disk activity. After 5 minutes, I cancelled the operation. Encore never recovered, and I had to kill it. I tried again, with the same results.
    I tried the exact same steps on the Messy Windows installation, and had no trouble replacing the video asset (it took about 6 seconds), so "something" on the Clean system is screwed up. I'd actually expect the Clean system to be the more reliable of the two!
    Do you think a reinstall of Encore is the only way to solve this? Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, what was the solution?
    Thanks.

    Are you using the same file name to replace the assets?
    If so - try using a different name for each incremental version instead as the cache might be getting confused/corrupted due to (apparent) multiple instances of the same asset.
    Failing that, what happens if you create new timelines instead of attempting to replace?

  • Replacing Assets...MPEG 2's

    Hi, I had two timelines, long version and short version encoded at 7500 for preview DVD's. I also made an 8500 version for replication. I went to replace assets today and the short version would not take the new files, at least the name didn't change in the timeline. Then when I went to burn a disc, program crashed, abnormal..closed down etc...
    I had to actually delete the timeline and make a new one, I also went into the source folder and deleted the audio transcodes...then it worked fine. Is this a bug or something that I'm doing wrong? Thanks

    Joe, I actually think I was dealing with two different issues, one is the above limitation and the other I still don't know. True, I forgot to revert to original before replacing, but it's odd that it would crash the program during the burn process. I had to remove the timeline, reimport and make a new timeline before I could burn. Also odd that I replaced two timelines and one wouldn't "take", it just kept the old the mpegs, while the other updated the files. Just a little scary when you've spent weeks authoring a project and then go to burn and it says "abnormal condition"...these kind of things age you :-)

  • Replacement Asset Functionality

    Hi All,
    We would like know about the replacement asset field functionality on the Basic asset information page. If we were to replace 100 existing assets
    A) Create 100 new assets and dispose the old 100 assets. The new assets will not depreciate as they are just a replacement
    B) Anyway to use the replacement asset field?
    Thanks in advance for your responses

  • Replacing assets for updated assets

    I just finished a project, including the DVD, but upon delivery my client noticed one tiny glitch that I hadn't. I went back through FCP and corrected it, re-exported it in Compressor, and have imported the new video and audio files into DVDSP. My question is, is there a way for me to simply replace the old video/audio with the new in terms of all my chapter connections. The movie is exactly the same in length and time ( I only had to correct one image and remove the motion blur effect--so length and such were not effected).
    It seems like there should be an easy work around instead of having to go in and re-create the fonts etc in all the chapter menus.
    Thanks for your advice in advance!

    Not always that easy. Many times the project or the container (menu, track) becomes corrupt.
    It is suppose to work were you replace the old asset file with a new file named the same in the same place and DVDSP will see that the asset has changed and wala... all is well. The reality is that the best thing to do is create a new asset with a version number update (i.e. bill001) then import this new asset and then remove the old one from it's container and replace with the new one. Then double check any chapter markers (if applicable).

  • Replacing Assets

    Here's the Q,
    I have an existing Enc Project. I changed the video in Premiere with some Soundbooth updates and new audio files for the same video. It will not allow me to store over the orig (unedited avi). SO my chapter links and asset assignments are not in the current DVD build. I had to replace the orig asset within the same timeline. This broke all my dvd chapter and menu links.
    I must be doing something wrong since I assumed the edits are transferrable to other projects directly.
    Do I now have to create a new Encore DVD build (menus, chapter points), and assign all those links again??
    Thanks

    >I must be doing something wrong since I assumed the edits are >transferrable to other projects directly.
    No, not really. When you work in Encore, you work on the data in its local cache, not the original sources. That's especially true once assets are transcoded or rendered for preview purposes. Therefore they will only update when manually reloading assets or relinking them.

  • After replace asset length difference

    The video asset in my timline is a m2v file. The audio asset is a WAV file. Both have been created with the stand a lone version of ProCoder 2. The assets imported correctly and were displayed correctly on the timeline. I had to make changes to the original Premiere project and replaced the assets. The new assets are shorter. Encore shows the striped pattern at the end of the assets. I can trim the end of video to the correct ending, but the trim of the audio doesn't work. I can't trim the audio to the same spot as the video. It only allows a trim one frame short of the video. If I create a new timeline it works fine, but then I have to recreate all my 54 chapter marks. I can strangly trim the video and the audio to the previous I-frame, but only the video to the actual length. in another project the audio was even stopping between a frame.
    Marcus

    I have this issue with all my projects. As far as I'm aware, there is no workaround; it seems like a waste of time adding chapter points!

  • Asset retirement - Error - AA416 & AA324

    Dear All,
    I am getting following error while doing asset retirement through t-code F-92.
    My legacy transfer date is 31.03.2009
    I am retiring last year legacy asset.
    For few of the asset class I am getting this error. For few of the asset I am not getting this error.
    *Following is the Error 1 detail:*
    Retirement of old assets data not possible (No existing old assets data)
    Message no. AA416
    Diagnosis
    You have tried to post an retirement based on amount, using a transaction type which refers to old assets data (acquisitions from previous years).
    However, the sum of the APC at the start of the fiscal year and the transactions, related to the past, equals 0.
    Procedure
    Check the transaction type entered and the asset.
    _Following is the Error 2 detail:_
    For few of the asset while retiring I am getting the following error. I also try with transaction type 260. But the same error I am getting.
    Posting with trans.type 210 not possible (No acquisition posted)
    Message no. AA324
    Diagnosis
    Transaction type 210 belongs to a transaction type group, which can only be used to post to assets to which posting has already been performed. However, no postings have been made to this asset.
    Procedure
    Use a transaction type from a transaction type group, which can be used for the first acquisition to an asset.

  • ABT1N  Intercompany Asset Transfer  error: AA390   T type 230 not possible

    Dear experts,
    I am trying to post an intercompany asset transfer with trx code ABT1N but when simulating the error code
    Transaction type 230 not possible (posting to affiliated company) appears. This is the explanation of the error:
    Message no. AA390
    Diagnosis
         For the current document, you specified either implicitly (via the
         customer/vendor), or explicitly (with a manual entry), that this posting
         is to an affiliated company. In this case, Asset Accounting requires you
         to use special transaction types.  This enables the system to separately
         identify such transactions.
    I do not understand the error because TType is "Retirement to affiliated company with revenue" so should be correct.
    Does anybody know what could be wrong?
    Cheers

    Hi
    Firstly, check out Note 209643.                                                                               
    Secondly, please read the long text of the error message again. The           
    transaction type must be set as "post to affiliated company".  And            
    you must check back the followings :-                                                                               
    1.  Please execcute function:  SAP IMG -> FI -> asset accounting ->           
        transaction -> specify default transaction type.                          
        You can find the default transaction type for "retirement from            
        inter-company transfer" and "acquisition from inter-company               
        transfer".                                                                               
    Then check in their definition whether they are relevant to               
        affiliated company.                                                                               
    If they are NOT RELEVANT to affiliated company, you can                   
        substitute them with other transaction type Relevant to affiliated        
        company.                                                                               
    2.  Please check the definition of transfer variant. In the transfer          
        variant, you have assigned the transaction type for both retirement       
        and acqusition for relation type 1. Both transaction types should be      
        set as "post to affiliated company" .    
    Please note that the abovementioned points must be checked because        
    the system logic will check the validity of the default value in          
    Point 1.                                                                               
    Then the transaction type in the point 2 will be used instead and         
    re-checked again.                                                                               
    Have you try to use 'No Reveune' in the specification for revenue?,       
    I think if it is afflicated companies, you are not allowed to use         
    revenue.                                                                               
    This error can also be produced because a wrong definition of the trans-  
    fer variants. Please have a look on note 327088 for further details.                                                                               
    Most of the issues on this matter were solved with this last Note.        
    Cheers, Blaz
