USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS4

Workflows and system setup

Last updated 11/6/2011

Send to Encore or to an MPEG-2 file.
The File > Adobe Dynamic Link> Send To Encore command brings your sequence, or any portion of it you designate
with the work area bar, into Encore. From Encore, you can burn it directly to a DVD without menus, or add menus
and buttons before burning. You can burn the project to disc, or you can save it to a DVD image file, a set of DVD
folders, or DVD master files on DLT tape.

Alternatively, using the MPEG2-DVD format, you can export a DVD-compliant MPEG-2 file from Premiere Pro. You
can use the MPEG-2 file in most DVD-authoring applications.

Choose a menu template.
Encore templates are predesigned menus that come in several styles. Buttons on the templates automatically link to
chapter markers placed in the sequence. Encore creates additional submenus as necessary to accommodate all the
chapter markers in a sequence.

Note: Auto-play DVDs don’t have menus, so you don’t need to choose a template for them.

Customize the menu template.
Edit titles, change graphics, or add video for backgrounds in Encore. You can also use video in button thumbnails by
specifying a section of a clip to play in the button.

Preview the disc.
Check the functionality and the look of your DVD or Blu-ray Disc menus in the Preview DVD window.

Burn the disc.
With a DVD or Blu-ray Disc burner installed or connected, you can burn your content to disc. You can save the
compressed files to a folder for playback from a computer hard drive. You can also save an ISO image to distribute or
burn to a DVD.

Note: Encore creates DVDs that conform to DVD-video format. It does not create data or audio DVDs.
