Create a DVD, Blu-ray disc, or SWF file in Encore

You create DVDs or Blu-ray discs by sending sequences from Adobe Premiere Pro into Encore via Adobe Dynamic Link.
Note: Before you begin, make sure that Encore is installed on the same computer as Adobe Premiere Pro.
  1. In an Adobe Premiere Pro timeline, select the sequence you want to send to Encore.
  2. (Optional) Add Encore chapter markers, if desired. See Add Encore chapter markers.
  3. (Optional) If you are producing a sequence for SD output that includes high resolution clips, such as HD, 4K, or 2K, select Maximum Render Quality before using Dynamic Link to send the sequence to Encore for DVD authoring. This does not apply to HD sequences that use Dynamic Link for Blu-Ray disc authoring. See Maximum Render Quality, in the Help topic General settings.
  4. Choose File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Send to Encore.
  5. On the Basic tab in the New Project dialog box, type a name for the disc into the Name field.
  6. (Optional) Click Browse and browse to a location for the Encore project, to change it from the default location.
  7. In the Project Settings pane, select the name of the authoring mode desired.

    The sets of options available in the Settings area, and on the Advanced tab, depend on whether Blu-ray, or DVD, is the authoring mode.

    Note: The authoring mode can be changed at any time, in Encore, in the Project Settings dialog box.
  8. (Optional) Click Advanced, and select the desired transcoding settings.
  9. Click OK.

    A progress bar shows the progress of the generation of the transcoding settings. Adobe Premiere Pro launches Encore. The Encore Project panel contains the dynamically linked Adobe Premiere Pro project and timeline.

  10. Finish authoring and exporting in Encore. For more information about using Encore to author and build DVDs, Blu-ray discs and SWF files, see Encore Help.
