I have updated my CS6 apps to CC version (with few minor problems) on my both computers. Fine!

Surprinsigly, there is no version nor update to ENCORE.

Is it normal? ENCORE CC does'nt exist?

Thx

Correct answer Rob BG

All is not lost. Apparently CC subscribers can still access Encore CS6, though I'm to understand it is not a straight-forward installation. DVD or Blu-ray files are generated via Pr CC, I believe, and imported into Encore CS6. You lose that easy dynamic link feature, however. It would be nice to see that return.

This is infuriating. So I must uninstall my Premiere Pro CC then reinstall the inferior version only so I can get this one program that I PAID for, and then I have to uninstall Premiere Pro CS6 only to once again reinstall my Premiere CC. You are telling me, that there is no way in this whole wide magical world of ours that Adobe can not just, I don't know, MAKE IT AVAILABLE ON IT'S OWN! This will cost me bandwidth and time I do not have! I need to burn a DVD for a client and now, I have to either go through all this garbage OR spend $50, $80, $100 or $200 on a DVD burning program that I assumed I had already purchased.

Hi,

You don't have to uninstall CC version. Install Pr CS6, ENCORE comes with, then uninstall Pr CS6.

That's it.

Wow, sorry to hear about all these issues others are/were having especially the workflow disruptions (though now a lot of this thread is rather stale). However, I thought I would throw my 2 cents in anyway as I am burning some discs from .ISO files and have some time.

In my case, before migrating to the CC subscription I already had the CS6 master suite and had been authoring scores of DVDs in that then moved onto Blu-Ray discs. When I did migrate, I did my homework first and kept the CS6 versions of Premiere Pro and Encore on my computer but started to edit video with the newer CC versions of PP. Now I am using PP CC 2017 and exporting my HD 1080p footage (PAL 25 fps) pre-rendered into Encore CS6 and have zero problems (once I got all my settings worked out just right). I always burn to Verbatim BD-REs first, watch them in their entirety and make sure all is good. Once I am satisfied that I have made no egregious errors (spelling in titles, inadvertently leaving a gap between clips, messing up the pop-up menus, chapters, end actions etc.) then and only then do I burn them to Verbatim BD-Rs from the .ISO file I always make of each disc. I have done this now for nearly 50 Blu-Ray discs and accompanied each with an .ISO file archived. Though I cannot quite recall when an upgrade appeared in my CC app update window and I did "update" the Media Encoder app too and noticed the opening picture updated, as well as adding quite a few more choices for export/output settings. Yay, no problems with any of that still. But Encore remains the same old CS6 version.

The Blu-Ray discs I continue to author play beautifully on my Sony BDP-s790 and it upscales them to 4K on my LG 55" OLED screen (Awesome). The next challenge is coming however as I now have a Sony A6500 camera that shoots in 4K... Probably going to need a new computer and use some of those big ass Blu-Ray discs. My methodical workflow will I suspect be greatly disrupted and I will probably be hitting the forums for some tips!

I am unable to burn a DVD from Premiere CC also but when I installed Premiere Pro C6 from the cloud my newer files edited on CC will not load into the older software. I don't understand why users should have to jump through a thousand hoops do do something that was very efficient in the older version? So much for progress.

Adobe has no real support and all the community responses are years old so why hasn't this been fixed?

Not sure if this is still an issue for you, however, you can edit in PP CC and export that media to ENCORE (which comes with PP C6 package) to burn as a DVD as long as you understand the workflow and do it correctly.

I would also like to add that disruptions like this cause a great deal of inconvenience to workflow, particularly because the announcement was not adequately advertised. The disappearance of Encore has left many of us unprepared, struggling to meet deadlines and out on a limb.

Following the insructions in this thread, I did in fact get Encore to install with Creative Cloud.

The solution is to

1) Install Premier 6 from CC

2) Note that Encore comes with it (you might need to check it as an optional feature)

3) Uninstall Premier 6, but select the checkmark to keep Encore

4) If you had Premir CC then you now have the latest Premier and Encore.

I'm happily now using Encore with Creative Cloud Encore. I also had Encore on another machine and was able to copy the templates over.

If (when?) you buy a new computer and Encore CS6 won't run on your new operating system, you will have to buy different software

I do NOT use these, so have NO idea if they will do what you need

I realize there is no future in Encore, I'm just surprised that they will just be killing all the output capabilities of it, outright. I would have thought that they would make "The next Encore" whatever that would be.

this is a real pain ! Our company has invested a lot in the use of creative cloud and not being able to use the dynamic link feature in our project causes us to loose A LOT of time. Since we offer a full service, designing original and client specific DVD / BR interfaces is essential to us. We can't simply export to DVD without a menu interface nothing ! This simply doesn't work for us. DVD/BR is still a real communication tool for many of our customers, Adobe please don't ignore our needs !!!

I am wondering how long this Premiere CS6 workaround is going to work... what happens on the next version update ??? I am really stressed about this situation :-(

I found this discussion because, while I seldom have to make DVDs (normally upload video), every once in a while I do. And it's always a rush because it takes so long to encode files... I was STARTLED to see that Encore (which was always a little awkward, but at least it worked) isn't included in the CC suite.

Reading all this, I thought I was ok because I still have the whole CS6 suite on my computer - but no...

Encore CS6 can't read my Premiere Pro/AE CC file. It gets half way through loading it and it just stops.

Am I loading it wrong? I can't load it into Premiere Pro CS6 and use Dynamic Link because the CC files aren't compatible with CS6 versions. I'm rethinking the whole CC thing - which is much more expensive and has so much I DON'T NEED - but they take away something we had and DO need? How does this make sense?

So - how do I make even a simple DVD out of a Premiere Pro CC file? I tried exporting it to a mpeg2 using the presets for making a DVD, and it gave me an Mpeg2 video file, a wav audio file, and an XMP file. I tried burning these onto a DVD but my writer says they're not the right kind of files. Help!!!

Is there another DVD burner software that would work?

Thanks!

Larry

Ok... so I was able to get Encore CS6 to work. The Davestechtable video link posted earlier in this thread was TRULY HELPFUL. I was able to get the project finished and it works really well. Sorry for the panic! And thanks to the person who made it - REALLY Helpful!

I have been with Adobe since the 90's. Honestly, I think the genius of the previous generation has been replaced with utter stupidity. What Adobe doesn't seem to get is that we DO NOT DETERMINE what our clients are comfortable viewing their pieces in. When I record video for one of my largest clients, he INSISTS on getting a DVD, regardless of the fact that I can throw it up on YouTube, give him a thumb drive, whatever. And while Adobe keeps jacking up the price of CC, they strip out options that actually benefit our client relations, while giving us no new options to deal with it.

And what is the point of making me, a user of nearly 2 decades, have to find some other companies products to work with? I'm sorry, Adobe, but you're just not that cool anymore. You are no longer the only game in town, and you really need to check your ego at the door and LISTEN to the pages and pages of threads from your users saying GIVE US A WAY TO EASILY BURN DVDS!!!!

Sincerely,

A very, very unhappy user.

I hate DVDs, I hate MPG2 quality, I hate overlays button limitations, I really hate how aliasing-banding-pixealted my work looks in a dvd.

BUT I HATE MOST WHEN ADOBE DOES THIS KIND OF STUFF !

Today I need to reuse a encore project for a client. is a project I did last year before I get into CC. a huge huge huge authoring. talking about more than 100 links

well, thank you so much Adobe!! now I will need to waste 3 or 4 days re doing it in DVDSTUDIO pro.

adobe: are you going to pay me for the days I will have to work on this? because I can't charge this on my client is not his fault ...

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. Note: I have a licensed copy of Premier Elements which authored to DVD just fine. Now I see (and agree with many above) that Adobe is doing everything in their power to alienate and drvie away many loyal customers. This is rediculous!

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). 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 am now confused how to even download Encore. I just visited the encore page and "Part of Creative Cloud" is all over the place! Seriously? This defines the term "FAIL"

My mind continues to boggle over this issue. Just had yet another video project we had to bid on that requires a DVD deliverable. 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. DVDs (and Blu-rays) may be old school but it is technology that continues to be ubiquitous, understood and valued by viewers. Clients appreciate this. Contrast this with the seemingly hundreds of often competing digital video file-based permutations that remain as mysterious to mom & pop as alchemy. Consider that 4K disc standards and technology are feverishly being developed as I write this. Adobe will then sheepishly be returning to abandoned discs?

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. Not a lovely prospect from the POV of simplicity or if you have limited SSD drive space. I don't know about anyone else, but I have no time for complexity. Just make it work. And it was all just so beautiful invoking DVDs right from the PPro CC program. No Hassle at all. 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.

For their part, Adobe enthusiastically recommends that we should suggest Encore as a new CC feature for them to consider. Uh-huh.

The more I use CC the more I like it. It's just too bad for this little bit of short-sightedness.

This sucks!

Adobe asks us all to pay for a new version of their product and they remove functionality. This is no way to keep your customers happy.

Support Encore at the current version of your software Adobe!
