Settings from Premiere to Encore?

Hi everyone,
I just burned a DVD using the link from Premiere to Encore and it came out looking like crap. I have burned DVD's before and they never looked like this. It's alos taking a really long time to burn a half hour DVD. What are the settings you guys are using to make it look good? I know that going from HD video to SD on a DVD will give me some loss, but its never been this bad.
Here is what I am working with:
Source Format:
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 2.6 GB
Image Size: 1440 x 1080
Frame Rate: 29.97
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.3333
Sequence Settings:
Editing Mode: HDV 1080p
Timebase: 29.97
Frame Size: 1440x1080
Pixel Aspect: HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.333)
Video Previews:
Preview File Format: I-Frame Only MPEG
Codec: MPEG I-Frame
Width 1440
Height 1080
Max Bit Depth and Max Render Quality

I was in a hurry; did not realize it was YOU! Too funny... (Sorry about that!)
I'm sure Jeff will join us here.
Your sequence setting is still 1080p; did he not recommend 1080i?
What is your latest export setting?
The burn time is not based on the duration of the video, but how full the disk is and the burn speed.

Exporting from PREMIERE to ENCORE (Correct Settings for crisp and clear DVD playback)

Please help. I have tried exporting a Premiere CS6 movie project to Encore, and when I play the burnt Encore DVD on my DVD player, it plays back fuzzy and it actually bounces. Here is my question: What are the correct Premeire CS6 export settings/ Encore DVD burning settings to get a normal, crisp and clear DVD playback?
This project is due tomorrow!!! Any help is much appreciated!

Export from Premiere as MPEG2-DVD.
Import and burn resulting file(s) in Encore.
You can twerk your Bitrate Settings on export to increase quality.

Export from Premiere to Encore to create a Blu-ray

Hi!
I've imported in Encore CS4 an HDV footage that I've edited in Premiere CS4. The footage was exported using Blu-ray H264 settings. I inserted the video and audio file into the project, I burned fine the Blu-ray, but the final result was that the entire footage was interlaced, so not "cinema-like". Is there a way to deinterlace my footage in Premiere or Encore so that the final Blu-ray is in progressive format? I've tried Red Giant Frames, but it seemes that Encore doens't mind of my settings and re-encode everything as he wants.
Maybe I wasn't so clear, so sorry for my english, but I'm italian. Thanks for the answers. Bye!

Premiere Pro CS4.01 has a new sequence and export option: Maximum Render Quality. It provides good quality deinterlacing and scaling from inside of Premiere. There are ways to deinterlace the footage external to Premiere that produce higher quality results, but that's a whole different workflow with several different tools.
Make sure to select Max Render Quality in your sequence settings, and then make sure that the Adobe Media Encoder has the same setting checked. (Look in the flyout/wing menu of the codec settings section of the AME.)
Be prepared for long render times.
You don't want to deinterlace in Premiere without Maximum Render Quality selected - your exported video will lose half of its resolution and will look terrible.

Help going from Premiere to Encore

Hi all
Couple of questions guys before I get stuck into some blu-ray projects
I have a couple of HDV projects that I want to get onto a Blu-ray disc. I have a burner and a test timeline went well - using /export to encore/ with default settings for MPEG2 Blu-ray / direct burn no authoring.
However, if I want to get a few projects on one disc I need to export manually and use encore properly. From Premiere AME I am not sure whether to use the H264-Blu-ray option or the MPEG2-Blu-ray. I assume in either case I set the size to 1440x1080 to match hdv?
Looking at the settings, I think I will get a smaller filesize using H264 and I just know its gonna take longer, but is there anything else to consider - will h264 result in better quality on end disc?
Now when I get to Encore, should I change default settings for new Blu-ray project to 1440x1080 - or leave at default 1920x1440. I understand I need to stop encore from re trancoding.
Any pointers would be much appreciated
Thanks
Mike

One workflow to allow exact placement of your Chapters is to do each "chapter" as a Sequence and then Export/Import each as a Timeline.
Now, this is easy for me, as I edit my "chapters" as Sequences to begin with.
There will be no GOP problems with this method.
Good luck,

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!
Thanks

Newbie Question - Creating DVD from Premiere to Encore with 2 audio tracks

Hello and thanks for your time,
I'm pretty new to all this but seem to be getting the hang of things pretty well but one problem I'm having I can't seem to find an answer to.
In Premiere I am creating a dvd of a football game, i have the video with an audio track of the crowd and another audio track of the commentary. These are all edited together fine and work well. I then use the dynamic link to send the sequence to Encore and that's where the problem occurs.
I can't seem to get both audio tracks to appear in Encore? Any suggetions or tips on where I might find an answer?
cheers for the help and time
Ian

Ian,
This is not a cure to the issue, but is a workaround. It's the "old-fashioned" way that things were done before DL.
Export your Sequence as elemental streams, i.e. video-only and audio-only. Import your video-only file into Encore as a Timeline, and teh audio-only file as an Asset. From Project Panel, drag the audio to the appropriate timeline. Done.
Now, exactly what you choose for your Export and even how you do this will depend on your Project in PrPro and also your source Assets. For SD material, I'd choose DV-AVI Type II video-only (no multiplexing), and for the Audio 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV. If you have a version of PrPro prior to CS4, just Export Movie (settings above) for the Video and Export>Movie (or AME) for the Audio (settings above). Just make sure that the Export Video is checked for the DV-AVI, but the Export Audio is not. Change these two checkboxes for the Audio.
Now, for DL not working, as it should, what is the format of your source Audio? Do you have any Channel-mapping used? Does your Audio Mixer Panel show everything right there? Do you have one Audio Track either Muted, or Bypassed. Look in Audio Mixer, to make sure you do not have one Track Solo'ed.
Also, what version are you using, CS3, or CS4? Note: for CS4, you will use AME for the Exporting in the first part of the post.
Good luck,
Hunt

Exporting video from Premiere 2 Encore... change video in Premiere... Encore does not reflect change

Hi everyone,
I have a good question, hopefully it's a Premiere question, but it's also an Encore question.
First off, I have my video project, simple segments of video, that I've added to my timeline, and I've added a simple
title to the whole thing ( entire length of videos )
So far so good.
So what I did was export the project to Encore, where it loaded fine, and in Encore I worked on making a simple DVD menu for the movie.
I did about 2 hours on the DVD menu, and then saved the Encore project.
.... then I realized that the video project in Premiere needed some tweeking, so I went back and did that. I saved the Premiere project
and now I'm stumped as what to do next.
After I saved the newly tweeked Premiere project, I exported it to Encore, and of course, as I knew it would happen, Encore opened up
a new project with none of my menu system I had made for the DVD. Argh, now I'm very disappointed..... HOW would I go about getting
the DVD menu to work with the newly tweeked Premiere project ?
I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong, and that there is indeed a way to fix this. I'm really really hoping so.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Dave.

Hi Dave, To be honest Colin's way is the correct way to do it and it has worked so you should probably do it that way. I just like to
take the full control back so if I do make changes I like to give it another version number and then match that version number in my
new saved Encore project taken from the original. It is also the very last thing I do as well so I just find that workflow means I
control every asset and version but no doubt about it Colin's way is the correct method and the one that allows all
changes within Adobe to reflect through. Cheers, Steve.

Problems rendering and exporting from Premiere Pro, Encore CS 6

I am having a problem with Premiere Pro and Encore CS6 . In Premiere Pro, my preview files do not get saved and I need to re-render each time I open the project. When the project opens it shows mainly red bars separated by blank (uncoloured) space. I am currently attempting to re-render this project, and it is stuck at 0.01%. In Encore, when I open my project I get the message The transcoded Dynamic Link asset _______ has changed on the server. Would you like to reimport it? I select yes, but am unable to preview the project, probably because it is unrendered in Premiere. When I attempt to build a DVD the building initiates and then freezes. I have the project set up correctly and no issues come up when i go through 'check project'. I've searched forums for solutions to these problems, but haven't been able to resolve the issues. please help! My computer is an IBM ThinkPad LENOVO W510 with 16GB RAM. The premiere project is linked to After Effects compositions

Hi Else,
Footage is encoded ONCE. Since the "MPEG-2 for DVD" file that you create in AME is DVD-legal, when you import into Encore, you will see next to it "Don't Transcode", it just uses the file as is. The .wav audio will be transcoded to Dolby AC-3 automatically when you build the disc in Encore.
So in AME, for Format, choose "MPEG-2 DVD", then choose a Preset to match your footage type, such as "NTSC Widescreen High Quality". Under VIDEO tab, you can adjust the data rate. For a short program, just choose CBR (Constant Bit Rate) and a setting of 7 or 8. Nothing else to touch in there, just choose a filename and destination and encode. Will create .m2v video and .wav audio clips. In Encore, use Import > As Tineline" and select both clips.
If source project is HD, then at bottom of encoder window, select "Max Render Quality", as this helps with downscaling quality.
If you say what the source sequence settings are I can be more specific on output settings.
Thanks
Jeff

Quality loss from Premiere to Encore

Hello,
I am working on a project in Premiere with these settings. The project consists of a PowerPoint presentation that was created into a video file. In premiere I inserted AVCHD video clips over the parts of the presentation that required video parts. I am trying to create a DVD of this project and no matter what I do, the quality (mainly the text on the PowerPoint slides) has a good amount of quality loss...
I've tried using the dynamic link straight to Encore, but the quality almost seems the worst doing this.
I've tried MPEG-2 settings. The quality is a little better, but still not crisp like in Premiere.
What else can I try?? Thanks!!

Ok, I tried what you recommended and the text still wasn't crisp with the short piece exported. I have to scale it because the source is 960x720, and the framerate stayed the same as 30fps. I need this to be crisp and I'm not sure what else to do :/
It looks perfectly fine in Premiere and even when I export it as a QuickTime format with full quality, it looks great. But as soon as I bring the .mov into Encore it looks terrible... I try DVD and Blu-Ray
Please help!

Media Encoder doesn't recognize custom export settings from Premiere Pro CS6

When I use export media in Pr CS6 and use custom settings (H.264) and click Queue when it arrives in Media Encoder none of the custom settings are there, instead it always defaults to .F4V.
Here is a screenshot of custom settings in Pr CS6:
And here is what happens in Media Encoder:
Thanks for your help!
Nick

So, it looks like Media Encoder is stuck in a trial version? The only formats available are indeed .f4v, .flv, .mp3 & h.264. Is a reinstall of Media Encoder the fix?

Encore won't import markers with bluray vid output from Premiere through Media Encoder

I have a sizeable video project, just completed, that needs to be output to DVD and BluRay. DVDs are done, no problem - the three timelines are each exported from Premiere by queueing them in Media Encoder. Side-car .xmp files are produced containing the chapter markers, and it all imports into Encore without issue, chapter markers are there, DVD burns successfully, works on DVD players, all good.
Now for the Blurays.... Same process as before, queueing the same timelines in Media Encoder, this time exporting using the H264 BluRay HD1080i 25 preset, the export works fine, no issues or error messages, but mporting into into Encore (using Import as Asset, Import as Timeline, etc), I get the error:
"Error parsing MPEG metadata file. Deleting or renaming "E:\YourVid\test.m4v.xmpses" will allow you to import, but any markers will be lost."
In other words, the markers file is either failing to export crrectly from Media Encoder, or failing to import correctly into Encore, or both.
I have never had this problem before, but this is the first exporting I have done with the latest versions of Premiere and Media Encoder, ie versions:
Premiere CC: 2014.1 8.1.0 (81) Build
Media Encoder CC: 2014.1 Build 8.1.0.122
Encore CS6: Version 6.0.2.004
... on Win 7 Pro 64bit
Can anyone help? Are other people having this problem? Is this a bug with the latest version of Media Encoder and/or Premiere, or is it just co-incidence and something else is the problem? And most importantly, is there a sensible workaround (ie other than just re-making all the chapter markers in Encore?) Can I export the chapter markers from Premiere into Encore some other way?
Please help!!!

Well, I wanted to play with versions and reverting...
AME version is columns; PR version is rows. The 8.1.0 x 8.1.0 was on my laptop. The rest are desktop, but both are win7. I'm guessing the fault is AME, so I will update AME to 8.1.0 as next step. But no new test till "tomorrow" (even though tomorrow is today!).
PR CC/AME
8.0.0
8.0.1
8.1.0
8.0.0
ok
fail
8.0.1
ok

8.1.0

Encore CS6 crashes when importing from Premiere Pro CS6

When sending a project to Encore as a Dynamic Link from Premiere Pro, Encore hangs then a message pops up that it has stopped responding then closes. How do we get this to work?
The computer has an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and is running Windows 7 Pro x64 with Service Pack 1. Adobe CS6 Master Collection is installed. The computer is joined to a Windows Server 2012 domain and the user of the machine has local administrator rights.
The Adobe suite has been uninstalled and re-installed multiple times without success. Sometimes after re-installing, sending a Dynamic Link to Encore will import as expected once, but then after restarting the computer, the problem will occur again. This has been tried with and without installing any Adobe updates. The system has also been wiped and had Windows and all software clean installed on it again which has not resolved the problem.

Export to Encore from Premiere - Set DVD Title?

I am new to Encore.
I tried to Export to Encore from Premiere. The DVD turns out fine, but the DVD is named "Untitled Project" and I'd like to give the disc a custom title.
I saved the Encore project, gave the disc a title, and the titling works out fine, but the DVD has no sound.
I have tried both of these processes two times each, and the same thing happens.
Given the choice between a custom title and sound, I certainly want the disc to have sound. But how do I get both?
Help help help.

Thank you for your reply.
I used a short disc title in Encore, which was PANDORA. The titles winds up on the DVD, but no sound.
But when I export the video from Premiere to Encore, I don't see a place where I can enter a custom name. So it names the DVD Untitled Project. Can you tell me where that is in Premiere?

Play movie from Premiere on PC to 1080p HDTV

I am creating a short "film" that I wish to play straight out of my computer via the hdmi port to a 1080p monitor. How can I do this while maintaining good quality? I did a test, creating a few 1920 x 1080 psds with some text, etc., music underneath, and used premiere pro cs4 &media encoder to create an AVI file. The avi file looks terrible of course when played on the TV - text is blurry - basically the same as when I used to work with CRT TVs & premiere 6. Plus, all of the premiere pro menus,etc., are on the screen which i don't want.
Is there a way to play straight from premiere or encore to a 1080p monitor without seeing any premiere palettes or any other windows on the screen - just the movie playing? With great quality / crisp text? Opsys = windows XP sp3.
The reason I want to go straight to the monitor is I don't have a blu ray drive or the knowledge of how to properly encode one yet.
Any suggestions appreciated.
-Mark

I am not sure whether this will help.
You may need to configure display for two monitors when starting a new project in premiere. In the general tab select Playback Settings and then external device. That way you should be able to view your program monitor from premiere timeline to your TV in full quality.
I hope this helps.

Premiere and Encore CS4 crashes and issues on Toshiba Laptop

I have a Toshiba Qosmino Laptop, 4 GB ram, Windows XP Sev pac 3, Nvida Gforce 7300 video. new 7500 RPM Hard drive
The two programs that crash all the time are Premiere and Encore CS4
Premiere will start some times and sometimes not. I've tried a new projects, importing a CS3 project seems to make no difference. Takes approx 2-3 minuites to load. Click on a imported video clip or timeline and crash.
Encore crashes "EVERYTIME"... tried to import from Premiere into Encore.. when the timeline is clicked in Encore it crashes everytime. Tried a new project in Encore same problem. Started Encore alone and same problem... first click and crash.
I'm not getting a blue screen just the Adobe crash report screen asking me to send a report... have done that many times.
Things that I have tried:
Had CS3 (BTY it ran fine)
Uninstalled CS3 and uninstalled CS4. Reinstalled CS4 same problems.
Defrag hard drive....
Reinstall CS4
Updated video drivers to latest version
Reloaded older video drivers
Did MSCONFIG and stropped all unneeded processes
All the rest of the CS4 programs open and run fine.
Any help is appreciated!!

Sounds like a problematic video driver or codec issue. You need to update all your drivers and try again. Also get rid of any unnecessary codecs. Try opening files in various formats and see if the same happens. Also you should search the KnowledgeBase, it contains a lot of information about this kind of problem.
If all fails, call Adobe Tech Support...
