Record direct to disk: from Adobe OnLocation to Adobe Premiere Pro

“Import clips from Adobe OnLocation projects using the Media Browser” on page 72

Import clips with In and Out points set in Adobe OnLocation

In Adobe OnLocation, you can set In and Out markers for clips. When you import a clip from an Adobe OnLocation project using the Media Browser, the imported master clip retains these In and Out markers. You can mark the good portions of clips in Adobe OnLocation, import them into Premiere Pro and start editing the good portions immediately.

Working with Encore and Premiere Pro

Using Adobe Encore and Adobe Premiere Pro, you can burn a single sequence to DVD or Blu-ray Disc. You can burn each sequence in your project to a separate DVD or Blu-ray Disc. First, add all the content you want to include on a disc into a sequence. After you edit the sequence, perform the following tasks:

Add Encore chapter markers

You can add Encore chapter markers in a Adobe Premiere Pro sequence. You can send the Encore chapter markers, along with the sequence to Encore.

In Encore, if you create an AutoPlay DVD, the Encore chapter markers become scene markers. When viewing the DVD, pressing the Previous button or Next button on the remote control skips backward or forward to the next of these markers. If you create a DVD or Blu-ray Disc with menus, you can link scene buttons on the menus to the Encore chapter markers.

Send to Encore or to an MPEG-2 file

You can send a whole sequence, or any portion of a sequence, from Adobe Premiere Pro to Encore. From Encore, you can burn the sequence directly to a DVD without menus, or add menus and buttons before burning. From Encore, you can export the project in any of the following forms:

•you can burn the project to disc,

•you can save the project to a DVD image file,

•you can save the project to a set of DVD folders,

•you can save the project to DVD master files on DLT tape.

•you can export the project to a SWF file for posting on the web.

Alternatively, using the MPEG2-DVD format, you can export a DVD-compliant MPEG-2 file from Adobe 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: AutoPlay DVDs do not have menus. Do not choose a template for AutoPlay DVDs.
