So I figured I would download the app from the Adobe Creative Cloud site, but Encore was missing there, as well.Ī quick Google search led to the realization that Adobe had “end-of-lifed” Encore, which has significant implications to many event producers. I had installed Premiere Pro CC on the computer and started looking for Encore to run some Blu-Ray Disc encoding tests. It's just too bad for this little bit of short-sightedness.So, there I was, starting to run some tests on a brand new HP Z820 with 12/24 core E5-2697 v2 CPUs, one of the fastest workstations on the planet. What kills me is that Encore still remains there fully-functional, ready to go, to be bragged about as yet another integrated program provided by Adobe CC.įor their part, Adobe enthusiastically recommends that we should suggest Encore as a new CC feature for them to consider. And it was all just so beautiful invoking DVDs right from the PPro CC program. I don't know about anyone else, but I have no time for complexity. Not a lovely prospect from the POV of simplicity or if you have limited SSD drive space. What Adobe wants you to do, MikeTheGeek, is actually load an old version of Premiere Pro, so that it will run a functional but marginalized Encore. Adobe will then sheepishly be returning to abandoned discs? Consider that 4K disc standards and technology are feverishly being developed as I write this. Contrast this with the seemingly hundreds of often competing digital video file-based permutations that remain as mysterious to mom & pop as alchemy. DVDs (and Blu-rays) may be old school but it is technology that continues to be ubiquitous, understood and valued by viewers. To me, this is either a disconcerting indication that Adobe is not in tune with its user-base and technology, or worse, arrogantly believes it can set the technical agenda regardless of user needs. Just had yet another video project we had to bid on that requires a DVD deliverable. My mind continues to boggle over this issue. I just visited the encore page and "Part of Creative Cloud" is all over the place! Seriously? This defines the term "FAIL" I am now confused how to even download Encore. You can only imagine my level of disappointment and frustration now that I have my CC licensing and discover that Adobe in their infinite wisdom has decided that authoring to DVD is not something they want to support without making it a separate profit center. I was NOT happy when I discovered the ability to author to DVD had been pulled out of Premier Pro and supported in a separte tool (Encore). Now I see (and agree with many above) that Adobe is doing everything in their power to alienate and drvie away many loyal customers. Note: I have a licensed copy of Premier Elements which authored to DVD just fine. Unbeliveable! I am up at 5:00 AM excited because I finally mustered the resources to pay for Creative Cloud knowing I'd be able to publish to DVD the huge project I completed using the trial version. So I'll send in a feature request and go the optimist route. Or at least be discounted as far as CC is concerned. I find a bit misplaced the Adobe notion that if one of their programs is not moving forward, it should perish. Again, CS6 CC dynamic-linking made things so easy for her. Indeed most folks have no clue about file formats, for that matter.Ī little earlier was my daughter's high school video project. Last week I asked another client what file format they would like some video received as. These clients were asking for DVD simply because they consider it to be the lowest technical denominator for their audience. Because, while Adobe may be forward-thinking, many if not most ordinary folks are not yet there. I've mentioned elsewhere how surprised I was to find many of my government clients specifying DVD - not even HD Blu-ray. Dynamic linking is really a major feature for us simplicity-worshippers. First opportunity I'm going to formally request Encore be added back as a CC feature.
