LESSON 21
Authoring DVDs with Adobe Encore CS5
4
Click OK.
Encore opens with the Adobe Premiere Pro sequence you selected in the Encore 
Project panel. This also creates an Encore Timeline of the same name.
5
Double-click the Timeline object in the Encore Project panel, which opens a 
Timeline panel in Encore and a monitor window so you can preview the video. 
Play or scrub the video to see it is the sequence you exported from Adobe 
Premiere Pro.
This video sequence is loaded into Adobe Encore via Dynamic Link. This 
technology allows Encore to play the Adobe Premiere Pro sequence without 
first having to render it anywhere. To demonstrate that this link is dynamic, 
you’ll now make a change to the Adobe Premiere Pro sequence and see that it 
is reflected immediately in Encore.
6
Switch from Adobe Encore to Adobe Premiere Pro.
7
Choose Effects > Video Effects > Image Control, and drag the Black & White 
filter to the first clip on the Adobe Premiere Pro Timeline.
8
Do not save the Adobe Premiere Pro project after you make this change. Switch 
back to Encore, and play the Timeline. You will see that the change you made 
appears in Encore without rendering or even saving the project.
To complete the creation of an autoplay DVD, you need to set a couple of 
parameters, and then you’ll be ready to burn the DVD.
9
Select the Sequence 01/Lesson 21-01 Timeline 
object in the Project panel; notice the End Action 
on the Properties panel is Not Set. This means the 
DVD will not know what to do when the Timeline 
finishes playing. Set the Timeline to stop after 
playing by setting End Action to Stop. If the End 
Action is not set to Stop, Encore will warn you 
to set the end action when checking the project 
for errors.
#
 Note:
If an Adobe 
Premiere Pro sequence 
is dynamically linked 
to an Adobe Encore 
project, it is not even 
necessary for Adobe 
Premiere Pro to be 
running for Encore 
to use the linked 
sequence.
