I am looking for a tutor to help me transition from Premiere Elements to Premiere Pro.   I live in northeastern Illinois, approximately mid-way between Chicago and Milwaukee, and would be willing to travel to either city.

Jeff,

I have subscribed to Pr 2019 and downloaded Encore CS6.   When I launch En it displays a message "Failed to initialize QT".  Is QuickTime required for Encore CS6?   I am running Win 10.   Joe


Disregard the QT error, I see that every time I launch Encore yet it works just fine. Maybe it would be an issue if importing QT files into Encore? But one should not be doing that, always create the proper MPEG-2 DVD assets in Media Encoder then import those into Encore.


Thanks

Jeff

If you are already familiar with Premiere Elements, you may be able to teach yourself.

See here:

Premiere Pro requires a much more powerful computer than Premiere Elements.

What are your complete computer specs, including hard drives, (how many, what kind, what is on each, and how full)?

Bob,

In Premiere elements I created basic DVDs;  video clips and still images assembled into a timeline, content marked off into chapters, titles added at the start of each chapter, transitions added between clips and images, audio tracks, a main DVD menu with shortcuts to the chapters, and finally burning the DVD.  All these tasks are accomplished within Premiere Elements.   I signed up for a Premiere Pro demo, only to find out accomplishing all these tasks requires more than just Premiere Pro.   I am looking for a tutor to demonstrate the “big picture”, the entire process from start to finish across all the programs required.     The tutorials you referenced are a great resource for explaining individual Premiere Pro features, but I haven’t found one that provides an overview that walks through the entire process starting with assembling the timeline up to burning the DVD.

My computer;  Dell Precision M6800, Intel Quad Core i7-4900MQ CPU @2.80 GHz, 32.0 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro K4100M display adapter, 3 hard drives - one 512 GB and two 2 TB, all mostly empty.

Are you in the Chicago-Milwaukee area?

No.  I'm in New York State near the Canadian border.

If you learn the Premiere Pro part, you can come back to the forum and ask for help exporting a file for DVD authoring.

Adobe has Encore, which would be available to you through your Premiere Pro subscription. It does have a moderate learning curve:

Adobe Encore Learn & Support

I use DVD Architect Studio (not free) for creating DVD menus and the ImgBurn (free) to burn them to disc.
