Which makes a better DVD? Dynamic link or Encoder?

Which makes a better DVD?—to use the adobe dynamic link on a sequence in the project panel…
or to export to a file with the Adobe Media Encoder and then import into the Encoder?
If the latter, does it make a difference if I export from Premiere to an H264 or using the MPEG2-DVD option?
It would be simpler to burn to an H264 because that is the same file type that I upload to Youtube.
(Since MPEG2-DVD creates separate video and audio files, I assume they are not uploadable to Youtube…)
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Export from Premiere with mpeg2-dvd.
Import the two files in Encore.
Make menu and burn.
If you use H.264 it gets re-encoded in Encore.
If you want to upload to YT with mpeg2 just set the Multiplexer to ON. H.264 is a better choice for YT.

Willing deleting cache help make a better dvd

There doesn't seem to be a resolution to improving the clips that look like they don't have enough pixels & sort of mov in & out. They look fine in the IM08 project & in QT but on IDVD player & when I make a dvd, the same clips look like a tv censor on body parts but in various parts of the clip. I recall at sometime I was told that deleting the cache for idvd will help. Does anyone know about this?

Hi
Free space on Start-up hard disk. HOW MUSCH do You have ?

*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named.
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple’s Disk Utilities application)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard

Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets

Can I work on a Premiere Pro file, which has dynamic links, while it is exporting?

Will further edits interfere with or change the export? What if I make changes to a dynamically linked file in After Effects? I just want to make sure it is okay to make changes during an export.

What version of Premiere are you using?
For CS6:
When you send a Premiere Sequence to Media Encoder via the "Queue"
option, Premiere saves a copy of the Premiere Project here (Win):
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp
Media Encoder uses this copy as the reference while encoding,
so you are able to continue to work in Premiere without problems.
However, Media Encoder (and its 'Temp' Premiere Project) will
continue to look to the original Dynamically Linked Ae files for encoding.
If you want to continue working on an Ae comp while an encode
in in progress in Media Encoder, you should save an incremental copy
of your Ae file (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) before you make any changes.
If you do this, it will not interfere with the ongoing encoding.

Grey Adobe dynamic link

Hi,
I purchased CS4 Web premium which comes with Soundbooth. I later purchased Premiere Pro CS4. When I try to use File>Adobe dynamic link>Import Premiere Pro Sequence, "Import Premiere Pro Sequence" is greyed out. Also, if I go to import - it looks as if Premiere Pro files are not supported?
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Randy

You need to create a multi-track file. File>New>Multitrack File (Ctrl+Shift+N). At this point, you will be able to import using dynamic link from either PPro or AE. If I may ask, why are you importing from PPro? You're better off dynamic linking from PPro to Soundbooth, that way you'll receive immediate changes applied to PPro when you change something in Soundbooth.

CS4 Dynamic link to AE - all links point to one comp

I know there have been lots of issues with the Dynamic Link and encoding, but I have a new one (for me at least).
I have a project with a lot of sequences, all of which use different green screen clips. All the green screen clips had been sent replaced with an AE comp, where I used AE and Keylight to ket the clips. I had everything all perfect and then this happened:
All my linked clips that came from AE all pointed to ONE AE comp. During the process of editing, I had created several different AE files that each had 2-3 different comps, but regardles of which .aep file the comp is in, the dynamic link still points to the same comp in a different .aep file.
I even tried to import an new AE comp, but every .aep file I point at, in the open comp dialog window, seems to only have one comp, the same one that the existing linked files are pointing to.
Any ideas on A: How to fix this and B: What caused this?
Oh yeah, I'm on a Mac and CS4 MAster Collection, all updated to the latest versions.
Thanks!

Hi Curt, and thank you for taking the time to respond.
Its odd how I've been trying to figure this one out for a long time and I tried your suggestion but it didn't make any difference..darn.
In the AE forum they say this is quite common and no one really knows why...double darn.
So I went back with a fresh mind this morning and tried something else..and it worked...so far anyway.
So far I figured it out... I guess I just needed to ask the question and write it all out to help get my brain working in the right direction:
Since the normal process to do this doesn't work for me ..and apparently many others..here is the solution for those of you having similar issues.
In PremPro select the desired clip you wish to place effects on
Rename it and save
R click and "Replace with AE composition"
Name new file
You will see three files pop up in AE in the project panel.
The original source clip .. in my case.. shows an icon that lets me know it isn't the true file.
Highlight this file with a click and then go Ctrl H (for PCs)
The group of computer source clips you use for your project will come up.. double click on the original clip you had imported into your PPro project.
The source file icon in AE will change to an icon that denotes the true file...save
Go to your still open Ppro project and make sure it carried the effects over..save.
Now you can save and close the AE project.
So for this works for me today and I hope this helps anyone else dealing with a similar issue.
Thanks.

Dynamic link - AE render quality in PrPro

I'm a FCP switcher - and decided to check out dynamic link by sending a clip to AE for slow-mo. In AE I turned on pixel motion and rendered the file - perfect - with new intermediate frames created giving a smooth slo-mo. However when I rendered the clip in PrPro the new frames were merely repeats, giving that jerky effect. There was no pixel motion (optical flow) applied. When I rendered out the clip from PrPro to disc, I got another result, this time the new frames were created by repeates and frame blending!
Is it possible to render AE comps in PrPro - or do you have to render in AE and re-import into PrPro (which kind of invalidateds the dynamic link idea).
Thanks for any ideas.

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.

Free dvd maker is better than encore cs4

Hi Forum,
OS: Win Vista Ultimate 64bit
Encore CS4
Windows DVD Maker
I have shot some footage and have they in dvd pal format.
I was able to create a motion menu, slide show and advd with encore cs4. i could play the dvd on pcs and normal dvd player on the tv.
But: Slide Show and all Movies are flickering. Menu also.
Than i tryed Windows DVD Maker (Free when you have Ultimate Vista).
I used there absolutely the same videos and photos. Result: Slide show and video quality was perfect and without flickering problems.
I spent a lot of money and o can not believe that this free tool dvd maker is better than encore cs4.
so please help me to solve this problem.
I really don't know what i could try.
Thank you and see you soon.

Hi,
Could somebody tell me which settings i should set on premiere cs4 to export in a good format to import to encore cs4?
Maybe i could solve my problem on using the right settings on exporting a video from premiere cs4.
Thank you

Dynamic Link (Adobe Premiere Pro to Encore) issues with burning a DVD from the project file

Hello,
I am running Adobe Suite CS 5.1 on my Mac:
2.8 GHz Quad Core
6GB Memory
I've been having issues with a few projects; using Dynamic Link, directly from my project in Premier, to send them to Encore:
When attempting to burn a DVD, Encore will 'hang up' and not burn; I rarely burn to DVD, usually I'm always encoding for web, and just always use the 'default settings' in Encore.
A few things to note:
*In my project I'm using MOV files, from a Canon 7D, and MP4 files, from a Sony EX-1.
*I am working off of 3 separate hard drives; very large projects with over 5TBs of media files.
*I noticed that after inserting a DVD, it caused one of my hard drives to eject; this happened once, as far as I know.
*This only happens when I use Dynamic Link to send to Encore, via my Premiere Pro project file.
*My Project settings are always: XDCam HD-1080p/24p
Please help.
Thanks

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.

How to make a Dynamic Link starting in After Effects to Premier (not other way around)

I have seen a ton of tutorials how to Dynamic Link from Premier to After Effects. (but not the other way around. )
I need instructions/video how to link starting in After Effect to Premier.
For example if I make a title in After Effects and then want to dynamic Link it into Premier how is this done?
Thanks!!

I've looked at this too. When I first started using DL, I thought that it was basically a two way street between applications. But that analogy doesn't work very well. DL is PPro-centric. Like PPro is the hub, DL the spokes, and the other Abobe applications are on the rim. And this makes a fair amount of sense. The central feature of an editing suite is the editor, and that would be PPro.
Another way to look at it is that you can push from PPro to AE, and PPro can pull from AE, but AE can not push to PPro. So the direct answer to "I need instructions/video how to link starting in After Effect to Premier" is, you can't. What you can do is make your title composition in AE, import that AE project into PPro, and use the composition as you would any other asset in PPro. Then when you change your title in AE, you'll see the change in PPro almost immediately without you having to do anything.
When I'm making motion lower thirds, for example, I now make them in AE. I let the AE project reside in the directory with the PPro project that I made the lower thirds for. Then when I want the lower thirds in PPro, I just import the AE lower thirds into the PPro project. There's a few ways to do this. One is to use the Media Browser. The MB will open up the AE project for you and let you select which composition you want to import. Another way is to File...Adobe Dynamic Link...Import AE composition which does more or less the same thing. There may be other ways as well, IDK.

Should I use Adobe Dynamic Link to create my DVD?

I recently downloaded Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 from the Creative Cloud. It included Adobe Encore CS6. If I am producing a DVD without menus, do I encode the video first or use the Dynamic Link and let Encore do the transcoding?

Reason: more searchable title

There's a whole list of threads on using Encore to make DVD/BluRay discs. You can search for it, and there's also a couple blog/info posts on the Adobe main site about the techniques for doing this. Highly recommended that you look this stuff up.
Now ... for direct answer, you use the DVD/BluRay export preset to make the twin files, one video (mpeg-2) and one audio (wav), that you then import into Encore.

The procedure entry point getlogicalprocessorinformation could not be located in the dynamic link kernel32.dll . I got this error after downloading and installing Frame MAker 12. My system os is service pack 2.

The above mentioned error is displayed when i open Adobe Framemaker 12 after installing it.

this is the error.

You don't mention which specific version of the operating system that you are using - Windows XP, Vista, or 7 and whether you're using a 32-bit or 64-bit version.
FWIW, kernell32.dll is a Windows system-level module, so it's possible that you have some corruption in your Windows installation which is preventing FM from launching.
Also, 2Gb of RAM is a bit lean for FM.

Whenever I boot my pc, which operates on windows 64 bit, I receive the erroer message: 'The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite3.dll

Whenever I boot my pc, which operates on windows 64 bit, I receive the erroer message: 'The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite3.dll'
This appears to be a common problem, can anyone provide me with a 'user friendly' solution please?

I am a sophomore in high school and i am between getting an ipad with a great quality keyboard case or an 11 inch macbook air. Which is a better suited purchase? I do not want to make the wrong purchase!

I would like some input on which might be better suited for a sophmore in high school because I do not want to make the wrong purchase. I have apple products so I know how they work, so I have no problem in that area!

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The iPad does not do Java or Flash. So you may have issues using it on many websites. There are web browsers for iPad that try to be work arounds for this, there is mixed reviews as to how well that they work.
