A comprehensive tutorial for using Adobe's powerful DVD authoring application, Encore CS3. The tutorial covers the entire DVD and Blu-ray authoring process, including import from Premiere Pro, navigation and menu design, integration with Photoshop and encoding for both standard and HD video.

The tutorial is available in two versions:

Standard video DVD

This version is produced as a video DVD and will play on any DVD player or on a computer with a DVD player such as Power DVD.  Since a standard definition DVD is low resolution, the quality of the image when showing the full screen of a PC is limited.  So to overcome this we have panned and scanned the image during editing for clarity of onscreen text and information.  This version of the tutorial comprises 2 video DVD discs.

Flash DVD

The tutorial was filmed in 720P HD and so this second version is the entire tutorial produced as an HD Flash video file at 1280 x 720.  To play it you just put the disc in your computer and load the main index page up using your favourite web browser.  Then the video will play at the same size as it was filmed and should be as clear as a normal computer display.  This version has the advantage of being easier to read than the DVD-video version, but will only play on your PC.  This version was created using the HD Flash Export options of Encore CS4.  The entire tutorial comes on one DVD.  The tutorial content is exactly the same on both versions.

Why do we make two versions?

The Flash version is the easiest to make and the clearest to watch.  However many people still prefer a video-DVD version as they can play the disc in a DVD player which sits next to their PC.  This means they can watch some of the tutorial and then try out what they have learned on the PC.   Creating the DVD video version is a lot more effort on our part and one of the reasons other training disc producers no longer do this.  However after taking opinions from our customers we decided to carry on making the DVD-video version as that was the preferred version.

Mac or PC?

Either disc will work fine on a Mac or a PC. and the content is the same as Encore works on both platforms.  The disc was filmed using a PC running Windows Vista.

Any plans for an Adobe Encore CS4 update?

We will be updating the tutorial with details on the changes with CS4.  There are actually not many - the biggest change is the way you will get footage from Adobe Premiere to Adobe Encore, plus some more options on the Flash export.  We will be producing an update to cover these changes and that will be free to anyone who buys the Encore tutorial from now on.  This update will be produced in the next couple of months.

This 2 disc DVD covers all aspects of using Adobe Premiere Pro with the Matrox RT.X2 and lasts just over 6 hours.

The first DVD takes you through a complete edit in Premiere from capture to writing a DVD. The training DVD was made with Premiere Pro 2 and so the DVD writing section refers to the writing built-into Premiere Pro 2. With Premiere Pro CS3, Adobe Encore is used for DVD writing; using Encore is not covered in this DVD set. Apart from the DVD writing everything in these training DVDs applies to both Premiere Pro 2 and Premiere Pro 3.

The second DVD focuses on various aspects of the program including Multicamera, effects and much more. It also includes a special section on some new features in Premiere Pro 3.

The disc is produced as a video DVD and can be played in standalone DVD players as well as computers. Since the resolution of a standard DVD is limited, we pan and scan the video to focus on the sections we are discussing.
