Transcoding Dynamic Link Assets

Am I missing something, or does Encore 5.0 not allow transcoding of Dynamically Linked assets before building? The usual suspects of Transcode Now and File>Render>Project are all grayed out. Seems the only way I can get the linked PP sequence to render is to Build.
Is that normal?

The next option would be that the transcode has already occurred for the type of project currently set (DVD -> DVD transcode setting is "transcoded or do not transcode"; bluray is bluray transcoded).
It would be very odd indeed for Transcode Now to be unavailable. Not where I can play with this, but I can't imagine a scenario that would produce the problem.

No video of Dynamically Linked asset from AE to Encore

Hi Folks,
I’m working with Adobe CS5 Collection Premium and I experience the following problem with bringing animate assets through a dynamic link into my encore project. I’ll try to explain briefly the issue:
I’m building a blu-ray disc in Encore, which has animated transitions between the menus. These transitions are created in After Effects and brought into Encore via a dynamic link. All the dynamically linked transitions are output correctly in the final disc with the exception of the first-play animated introduction (created in AE) to my main menu – the sound is there but there is no video. There are no issues during the preview of the project in Encore - everything plays just fine and all dynamic links to my animated transitions play ok in Encore. The problem occurs after burning the BD-disc - the video is missing from the intro scene.
Has anybody had a similar issue with dynamically linked assets to Encore projects? I tried bringing the same animated asset via dynamic link with After Effects CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5. The result is the same – the first scene lacks the video. Could it be because my Encore project settings are 20mbps, which causes the blu-ray player to struggle with the first-play animated menu?
Any solutions?

The composition background is transparent. It has per se no color and does not react to blendmodes and such. It's imaginable that Encore resets it to black for whatever reason (wouldn't know, as I design my menus always with full frame backgrounds to begin with). Still, I would consider it a bug regardless, so please fiel away:

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!

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.

Encore not re-transcoding changed dynamic link projects

Although I'm pretty fluent with CS products, I'm new to video editing so I apologize if this is a newbie question. I currently have an Encore CS5 (Mac) project that dynamic-links several sequences in several Premiere Pro CS5 files. My project is encoding to 4.72 gigs and I need to fit it onto a DVD-5. In an effort to trim down the file size, I've shortened the credits on several of the movies, but no matter what I do, Encore doesn't update the movies. I have to remove the Premiere and timeline assets from the project panel and re-insert them. Even right-clicking the asset in the project panel and clicking "transcode" doesn't do the trick. I only have one version of these projects (so it's impossible that I've added the wrong Premiere Pro file). I know I can always turn down the maximum bit rate, but I was trying to keep the project at maximum quality. What am I missing here? Thanks for the help!

I have to remove the Premiere and timeline assets from the project panel and re-insert them. Even right-clicking the asset in the project panel and clicking "transcode" doesn't do the trick.
Doing the transcode now option won't fix anything. Until Encore can break the previous tie with the original sequence, nothing will change..This is where the mystery of Dynamic Link needs an answer..
If you can delete the assets from the timeline, and re-drag the linked sequence down to the timeline, then this would be ideal. Assuming of course the new link is respected. But i take it that Encore isn't respecting an updated sequence??
This would be the first step in resolving the issue IMHO...

Dynamic LINKED AE Menu is Transcoding every build

I'm Using Encore CS5.1 which I have been for a year now. When I go and build the DVD it transcodes every file quite fast, maybe 3-5 minutes per clip which avergae around 3 minutes long. All files are dynamically linked Premier Pro Files. Then my first play intro file which is a 10 second Dynamic AE file transcodes fine, but when it gets to my Dynamic AE menu file which is 1:27 long, it takes almost 2 hours to transcode, and then when it is finally transcoded, it says transcoded under the project panel, but it does it again every time I build the DVD, making it very long to burn my DVD's. It worked really fast the first time, and now it just keeps taking forever. Nothings changed except I've installed my CS6 Creative Cloud Products. This is still in 5.1 though. Anyone have any ideas what might be going wrong?

I differentiate "transcoding" from "building." Transcoding is encoding/reencoding an asset to DVD spec (not a formal definition, but you get the idea) while Building is simply muxing the transcoding video/audio into the DVD VOB streams. Menus are a different creature. Even if the motion asset for a menu is transcoded, the menu must still be rendered. I do not understand when Encore insists on re-rendering a menu.
In any event, n your case, I would try to sort out whether the AE DL motion is really re-transocding, or if the menu is rendering.
Try rendering the menu (if it will let you) before the build.
I do not understand why it is taking so long.
I would first take DL out of the equation by exporting the file from AE and importing to EN.

Operate Dynamic Link Across Multiple Workstations?

Right now I'm in the middle of designing the workflow and post-production pipeline for my school's film class. At the heart of the pipeline site Dynamic Link, and its interaction with After Effects, Audition, and Speedgrade. My question whether it's possible to have a multi-computer setup and spread the DL assets across users. For example, User #1 is the Premiere editor, #2 is Ae, and #3 is Au. The editor creates a Premiere project with a separate sequence for each scene. She cuts Scene one, then makes an DL Ae comp for all of the vfx clips, before moving on to Scene 2. #2 then opens the Ae project on his computer and begins comping while #1 is working on the other scene. He finishes the comp, then saves the project and closes Ae. Meanwhile, #3 is working in Au for audio files in Scene 1 while #1 is cutting Scene 2 and #2 is working on comps for Scene 1. This process repeats for all scenes before approved Audio/VFX comps are approved and rendered losslessly to replace the DL's as intermediate files.
I apologize if this sounds a little complicated, a drawn graph would have worked better. But is a process like this possible, with storage options like a shared external closure in RAID 5 or 10 for hosting all clips and projects, with a separate per user disk for caching, etc, or is it just not possible with the way DL is currently set up with CC 2014? Thanks in advance for responding!

RoninEdits has done a good job of helping you through this... He/she has certainly been a massive help around here but I don't know the editing setup experience he/she has. I certainly learn a lot from reading through the comments!
I couldn't agree more, this guy has been a major help on pretty much all of my few threads
A standard problem in setting up any editing machine is the disc in/out read/write/cache is massive in PrPro, at times nastier in SpeedGrade, and beyond belief in Ae. Audition can be a hog at times but typically in my system is faster to process through something than the others.
So ... one oft uses say either 4 or more local discs past the system/OS disc, or a system/OS disc & maybe a second cache disc and then a 4/5 disc RAID array for high-speed throughput for the read/write/cache/database work. Follow?
Now ... lets put that over a single connection on a NAS. I don't have the experience that others have with this, but I wonder (from having read posts about NAS systems and lags in playback & such) ... will this be the best editing solution? I've also heard of editing houses where each machine has several hot-swapping disc options available, and people use the old sneaker-net system to move say the footage disc forth and back to various users. Or even say 3-4 discs of any projects contents.
If I understand correctly, this is pretty much exactly what I intended to do with my setup. Each machine (3 of them) would have an SSD for Windows/Apps, an SSD Cache drive, and a mechanical disk for storing data if need be. Then I would have a Synology DS415+ with 4x2TB WD Red Pro drives in a RAID 5. This would be hooked up over a Gb network (school owned) and would connect to the workstations with Link Aggregation (LACP) to achieve a theoretical 2GbE bandwith connection to each machine (roughly 250MB/s). The NAS would store all of the projects, source footage, audio, and other materials that could then be copied over to the systems' local drives, or have new materials copied to it. That way all editors would have access to all of the source material simultaneously versus having to have one external drive and keep swapping it out among editors to copy files. I was hoping that MPE/DL would work cross station through the NAS, but that doesn't look like that'll be the case, unfortunately.
RoninEdits wrote:
as long as premiere picks up the changes with a restart, or re-opening of the project, then no swap would be needed and all is ready for export. if you are looking at having the ae editor do a separate render and bringing that back into premiere, you may also want to look at doing a complete non-dynamic link workflow, even if just to teach both ways. by keeping the vfx shots on another track, its easy to keep track of them. this also makes it possible to nest those clips and then use the project manager, selecting just the vfx nested sequence to consolidate and transcode. this way it will trim down the clip to just the part needed, but also should use the option to add handles. in a few clicks all the vfx clips are ready made to be sent to the ae editor. can then use the offline/relink command to bring the new clips back in.
This was one workflow I was considering. I was trying to avoid having the main editor closing and reopening a project every time something was changed just to view it in the middle of their editing, but rendering intermediates looks like it's going to be the best bet. No full-res clips till they're finalized. I'm going to go through and do some personal practice just to figure out what feels best for the class, but non-DL looks where I'm headed. My main point behind using it was so that the Compositor wouldn't have to load a full clip into AE, where using DL it would have already been cut to the way it looked in Premiere and have a comp per shot in one scene file, but it looks like your idea would give the exact same result, just in a slightly different appearance in AE. By that I mean Pre-Comp each shot once AE opens and work from there. Thanks for the tip Ronin!

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.

Dynamic Link Vs. File- Export- Media

I'm probably about to open a can of worms, but could ya'll take a minute and debate the pros and cons of Dynamic Link vs Exporting? As far as I can tell, exporting triples or quadruples the time involved and I need to produce quick results.
And as I am completely new to the Creative Suite and video editing in general, I struggle with the power and depth of the Export options.
Under which scenarios would you choose to export with AME when you can twice as easily import Premiere Sequences as Encore Timelines?
thx in advance

A nice advantage to Dynamic Link is that you can import your assets into Encore and manage the transcode settings there to maximize quality with the given disc space.
For example, if you have 2 hours of material for the DVD, along with menus and such, you can trial-and-error the transcode settings inside Encore to get everything to fit on the disc at the best possible quality.
You can of course acheive the same thing through the proper planning and bitrate calculating...but by using Dynamic Link, you save yourself from that task when you either don't have the time or the confidence to calculate your transcoded asset sizes.
Another nice thing is being able to make changes in Premiere Pro and have those changes updated in Encore. Again, with the proper planning, you can avoid having to go back to your Premiere Pro project in many instances, but it can be very handy to link in a couple of sequences, export a quick Flash DVD project for the client and be able to make any needed changes in Premiere Pro that are immediately imported to Encore.
There are also "Edit Original" functions in Encore, but I have found Dynamic Link to be more reliable.
As for whether it is faster or better quality to use AME over Encore for transcoding assets, I really haven't ever tested that. My guess is that results are probably pretty similar between the two.
I'm not aware of any bugs that exist with the Dynamic Link workflow at this time either, so again, probably going to be similar results between the two.

Dynamic Link HD to DVD

OK so I am making loads of DVDs and I have HD footage.
I want to know if using the dynamic link function to burn my project in Encore gets rid of quality?
I am aware I will lose quality I have done this before. I am just curious...would I get better image quality if I rendered the project out in AME using the Mpeg-2 DVD settings and then creating a project in Encore?
Thanks guys.
Footage AVCHD, 25fps

Never been a fan of DL for various reasons. I guess because I used to use a different DVD app prior to Encore, so I had to export MPEG-2 DVD from Premiere and got used to that workflow. I like to have control of the encoding process myself, and AME gives me access to do that. Also a matter of workflow - after spending hours, days, even weeks on a project, when I decide it is finally complete, I'm ready for a break. Encoding to MPEG-2 DVD using AME gives me that break, though with today's encoding speeds, the break is not very long!
So once I have the DVD-ready assets, I can Import into Encore, make the menus, and burn, and the Build process literally takes just a couple of minutes since the video does not need transcoding. So I can design menus and make a proof disc really quickly, rather than waiting on a long render. Can easily make changes and Build again.
While I've not personally tested this theory, I've seen a lot of postings that claim the Encore encoding engine is different than what AME uses, and that AME produces superior results. Whether that is true or not, can't say, but that would be another reason to use AME over DL.
In AME, you can check the "Max Render Quality" box to increase quality of the downscaling. Only needed when changing output size, SD to DVD would not need this. Use a Bitrate Calculator (online) to determine the optimum settings for encoding rate based on program duration. If the encoded material is too big for the DVD, then you have to do it again, so you want to avoid that.
Another tip, I usually Build an IMAGE rather than a DISC - image produces an .iso file on the hard drive, and then any of several free third-party burning apps can be used to make DVD copies from the .iso at any time, so it's a good archival copy. You can also "play" the .iso file from the drive with software such as VLC Media Player for preview before burning a disc.

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,
Erik (Pyramid Pyro)

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?

Dynamic link confusing two separate AE compositions in PPro from different projects

I am using CS5 Master Collection for Windows 7 (64 bit) on an HP Pro desktop (Intel core 2 duo, 6Gb RAM). The tower has two hard drives installed (no RAID). CS5 is installed on the original C drive along with the OS, but the working files, footage etc are all on the larger, secondary F drive.
I am working on a DVD project consisting of several seperate PPro projects. Each project has been colour corrected in AE using dynamic linking. Recently two of my projects suddenly became mixed up, by which I mean the video (not the audio) from one AE composition in one project has taken the place of another in another project. The clip remains the same length, but the link apears to be referencing the wrong clip during playback. Interestingly, there are two clips on the track above the affected clip that fade out and in at either end, during the dissolves between clips, the correct footage plays. It is only when the clip plays by itself that the problem occurs. The next clip also has the same error, though the problem only occurs for half the clip and then suddenly corrects itself. Just to be clear, All clips have been rendered, there are no more than two video tracks on the sequence, and I have tried replacing the composition from the asset menu (in which the clip plays back correctly), but the problem remains in the sequence.
I hope that descrition is clear enough. My guess is some kind of file path error in the dynamic link, perhaps due to the separate hard drive. But I really wouldn't know. I'm very pressed for time right now and I'd prefer not to go against workflow and re-edit a new composition in AE, I would also like to understand what is going on in case it happens again.
Any help with ths problem would be appreciated,
J

Thanks Colin, I tried what you suggested with both the AE Project that it should be referencing and the AE project it is erroneously referencing but both failed to fix the issue. Its as if a hidden clip were laid over the top of the one I want to play. Frustrating.

It's not the comps that are the problem; it's the project file names themselves. You can have all the comps in a project named the same thing, and it'll be fine, but naming projects incrementally is an issue. After Effects includes a versioning function (Save and Increment) that will create a new AE project file with a serial number, e.g. AE Project 01, AE Project 02, etc. This is all well and good if you're just working in After Effects, but Dynamic Link gets confused and will usually start looking at the later project file for comps. That will just create a big mess, as you've found. Changing the names of the project files won't help things relink automatically properly, but it can help you fix things. Make all your DL AE comps offline in your Pr projects, and name your AE projects in a manner that is not serial (give them more random names). Select your offline AE comps, and right-click > Link Media, and point to the new AE project. Things should link up correctly then--but if they don't, you'll just have to remove all the AE comps from your Pr project, reimport the comps from the newly-named AE project, and replace them. It's a pain but it'll probably just keep getting worse if you don't.

Adobe Dynamic Link or Export from Premiere and load into Encore?

Hi
I'm making some tests about authoring DVDs and Blu-Rays from Encore CS6. My video editions are made in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.
Looks like I have 2 ways to send contents from Premiere Pro to Encore.
1) I can set all my editions in Premiere Pro, then Export the entire timeline to a MPEG-2 DVD or MPEG-2 BLU-Ray file, then start a new Encore project and import this video file as a timeline.
2) I can finish my editions in Premiere Pro, then use the Adobe Dynamic Link > Send to Encore options. So, it's not necessary to export files, since the task of transcoding is an Encore's task.
Question is: Any advantage of using way 1 or 2??? Thinking about speed to finish the job, is one way better than other?
What do you use do choose?
Thank you for these tips
Gustavo.

Hi Stanley
Thank you very much for your tips. Just one thing:
In Premiere we can choose, for Blu-Rays, the MPEG-2 or H.264 codecs. You mentioned the H.264 Bly-Ray choice.
Any advantage regarding the H.264 instead of the own MPEG-2 coded?
Best Regards and thank you very much again.
Gustavo.

Dynamic link new feature or bug

If I create an Encore project comprised of dynamic-link sequences from Premier and build a DVD, that works fine. However, if later I change one or more of the sequences in Premier, save everything, and open Encore, it does not know that some of the sequences need to be transcoded again. I found that to work around this, I must do "revert to original" to the sequences I've changed to get Encore to transcode them again. Can't this be handled automagically?

Can't this be handled automagically?
Even with video files that reside on your hard drive, once they've been transcoded En looks only at the transcoded version unless you tell it to do otherwise.
If En were to trash the transcoded version (which may have taken hours and hours to produce) anytime Encore or Windows or OS-X thought the file or the sequence had changed, there would be a lot of angry authors out there.
So with real files or linked sequences, you have to explicitly tell En that you don't want the transcoded version any more.

Dynamic Link complicated question

This is the story.....
1. I shot & edited a training session (many sessions - over 40 hours)
2. I did minor editing in Premiere, used Dynamic Link to send to Encore, set up a first run title page with 8 links to the 8 chapters.(all end actions going back to the main menu)
3. Burned a DVD for the client
4. The client made notes for additional changes for me to edit.
5. I went back into Premiere, made the editing changes (mostly increases in volume from audience questions, removing some comments, etc.)
Now... If I try and use Dynamic link again to "re-send" to Encore, my only choice is a new project... I cannot send using Dynamic link to an existing project (or if I can, I do not know how)
I know one work around is to encode from Premiere, then open a Encore project, import as a timeline.... & author away....
This way, If I go back to Premiere, make editing changes, export back out WITH THE SAME FILE NAME.... when I open the existing Encore project... everything is the same... except the timeline has the updated editing changes...
The only problem is that on all 18 DVD's, I used dynamic link to send to Encore... so does that mean, (unless I use a work-around, like stated above), I have to re-author all 18 DVDs. I would think that even when using dynamic link, if you open the timeline again in Premiere, make editing changes, that the Encore project would reflect those changes (to make sure, I set the audio volume to 0 on the first 10 seconds in Premiere, saved the project & closed it, opened Encore, did a preview, the audio was still at the regular volume (no change).....
Any suggestions...
Or should I just once again use dynamic link, start a new Encore project, re-author (& basically do the same thing over)?
Or should I do it the other way, encode from Premiere, (you know the rest), I do believe that all the editing changes have been made (according to the client)
Or, is there some way from Premiere to use Dynamic link to send to an existing Encore project?
David Kelley

I didn't read all your note carefully.
In your previous Encore project for DVD 1 (or whatever), right click on the "asset" for the timeline (the asset for a dynamic link is the Premiere sequece, not the Encore timeline that was created), and pick "revert to original." It should pick up your changes from Premiere.
Note that to update markers, you must select the video in the Encore timeline itself, right click, "update markers from source." You will lose all previous markers. If you created the markers in Encore, you must update manually.
