They're the completed folder types you save to burn to a DVD or Blu-ray video disk.Įventually I found the Adobe Media Encoder screen, hiding behind my iMovie screen.Īny idea where it came from? Media Encoder isn't a free app. I'm using the basic iMovie setup, no Premiere Pro, VIDEO_TS, or BDMV Sorry Kurt for dumping all my woes on you, but you did already try to help me.Īre you German or are you using a play name, like mine? Again Apple seem not to publish any list of such messages. My first try on this job ran 22 out of the expected 24 hours and then gave me an Error -50 message. Latest version has not bad video, but the Titles are washed out and the 16x9 original screen format is lost.Īpple give you various options when Exporting but I've never seen an explanation of these options, what gives me the best quality, what exports quickest. Made new Exports (.m4v) using lower quality set-up. Except that what ever it should be doing doesn't work. No explanation of why its there or what it's doing. Eventually I found the Adobe Media Encoder screen, hiding behind my iMovie screen. Changed to QUICKTIME and after a day and a night of Exporting couldn't find the final jobs anywhere.
ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS 5.5 BURN DVD MOVIE
Made a short MOVIE section first as a check, looked good but NO TITLES. Looked great as a Project, then I started to Export. This time I had to add a load of Titles and sub-titles over the actual movie. Normally I put in Titles and cut the original up into shorter sections. Never seen it, never heard of it, never want to! Something I've done several times in the past without encountering this Encoder. I'm trying to make a video to play on a computer, and probably thru a Projector, using iMovie. You're authoring your disk (adding menus, buttons, etc.).Īfraid I didn't understand much of your answer (I'm boasting about the much!). iDVD might understand the output from Media Encoder since its function is similar to Encore.

You're assembling raw still images, video and audio clips, not pre-encoded data. IMovie probably doesn't understand these encoded sequences since it's job is like Premiere. Such encoded video will play in QuickTime, but the video and audio are normally separate files out of Encoder, not combined. If you chose DVD or Blu-ray disk encoding, you get video that's ready to bring into Encore so when you're authoring your disk, the encoding for all of the video you're going to use in your assembled disk is already done, and the final VIDEO_TS or BDMV gets built very quickly. What final format you encode for determines whether or not it's in a "ready to play" state. It pre-encodes your assembled video from Premiere Pro for whatever format your final project is going to be a DVD or Blu-ray disk, web video, etc. The idea of the Encoder is to do just what it says.
