![]() ![]() Consistency would be good to have among these suite products….This is despite their superficial resemblance to markers appearing in a Premiere timeline, which do belong to the Sequence (of which the timeline is a view). ![]() I guess therefore that such markers “belong” to the clip, not the timeline.If you manually delete an existing clip from a timeline, any chapter markers disappear along with it.It won’t let you replace an file by a file. You can’t replace an asset by another of different file extension.In Encore, media (“Asset”) replacement is not as straightforward or as flexible as in Premiere… All you want to do is substitute a new clip for the existing clip, one-for-one, keeping the markers (that you have only just added) in place (together with their links to DVD menu buttons you may also have just now created). In Adobe CS6 Encore, suppose you have a timeline containing a clip, then (maybe after having added Scene/Chapter markers there) for some reason you need to replace the clip, e.g. Posted in Adobe Media Encoder, Encore, oddness, Uncategorized | No Comments » It is possible to define which display (e.g.Not directly relevant, but noticed in passing (while configuring Encore:): Encore currently has some kind of (hidden) limitation on the kind or length of text representing the filename or file-path-and-name, ideally this limitation should be removed or at least the maximum allowed length should be increased.In the long term, the preferred fix would of course be for the sub-system developer to update that system to remove the limitations.It would be simple for Adobe to trap filename-type errors in the front-end part of Encore, prior to sending that data to its (alleged) sub-system that is maintained by Sonic.A further post alleges that the specific subsystem is called Sonic AuthorCore, which is also used by Sonic Scenarist.The post states (correctly or otherwise – I don’t know) that the file is, located in and (as of CS5) the version should be.Another refers to an underpinning software component by Roxio, namely pxengine, which required to be updated for Windows 7 (from the previous XP).According to Adobe Community forum posts identified in the Web-Search (further below):.Encore’s error-reporting (error message) system should be more informative, the current “Encore failed to encode” message is too general.(Though on the other hand, if that encoder is less robust (I don’t know, only suspect), then that factor would constitute a risk to that quick turn-around…).I’m guessing that the only “cost” of not using Encore’s internal encoder might be the “fit to disk” aspect, and that might be helpful for quick turn-around jobs.(doesn’t happen if you instead use the option, which always employs Encore’s internal encoder).Or, if Encore is so configured (away from its default) then via its option.Potentially (to be tested) the best workflow for Encore is:.These features could be handy for encoding multiple assets for a DVD or Blu-Ray Disk (BD).įor me, the learning-points about Adobe are:.AME has some nicer usability-features than Encore, such as a Pause button and the ability to queue a number of jobs.I expect any lessons gained will apply here. Consistency is a great thing having used AME from Premiere etc.…and also higher quality indeed one post implied this may be true for CS 6.I suspect/hope that AME might also be more robust than Encore’s internal encoder.It has been said (as of CS5) that AME is faster, being 64-bit as opposed to 32-bit for the encoder in Encore of CS5.The advantages I expect of of using AME in this way: Doesn’t work for Encore’s operation but does work for its operation. It is possible to configure Encore to use Adobe Media Encoder (AME) instead of its own internal one. Unusual (legal but not popularly used) characters, such as “&” (ampersand).Spaces (it’s safer to use underscores instead).Specific kinds of character in the filename, such as:.Possibly Encore doesn’t like one or more of the following, as regards either filenames or, possibly, the total text representing the volume, folder-chain and file-name. Possibly the filename length was the issue, but it could have been any of the following (experimentation is needed to confirm what it was). In my specific project’s case, I found that shortening the filename name fixed the problem. In one Adobe CS6 Encore (a DVD constructor) project, the feature found no problems, but on attempting to the project, the following error was reported: “Encore failed to encode”.Ī web-search (further below) revealed that this error message could have reflected any of a number of potential problems. ![]()
