Burning Blu-ray discs with Premiere Pro CC 2017

I just purchased PP CC 2017 and edited an event. Now I want to burn it onto a Blu-ray disc. I cannot find any instructions on how to do this. All the tutorials that I have found relate to PP CC 2016. I was told by a chat person that PP CC 2017 no longer comes with Encore and that the latest version of Encore (CS6) is not compatible with PP CC 2017. They say that you now have to use Media Encoder to burn discs with PP CC 2017 but I can not find any instructions on how to do this.

Can anyone help me with this or do you know of a good tutorial that explains it?

One more thing; I am at the Beginner level of working with Premiere Pro CC 2017 so please do not assume I know all the details of how it works. I have burned DVDs with Premiere Pro before but that was about 10 years ago and I haven't worked with it much since then and it seems the process of burning discs is quite a bit different. Thanks!

Yes you can still use Encore. For download see: FAQ: How to download Encore with Creative Cloud

Following is a general procedure for making DVDs/Blu-Rays using Encore and PP:

First download ImgBurn (The Official ImgBurn Website )

General workflow some use:

1. Convert PP sequence to H24-Blu-ray to get an m4v file and a separate audio file;

2. Open Encore, choosing Bluray and bring in your HD menu;

3. Import your m4v and audio files as the timeline;

4. Set your end point for your timeline;

5. Connect your timeline(s) to your menu;

6. Build your Blu-ray under "Build" pane choosing Blu-Ray for "Format" and "Output" as Blu-ray image;

7. Choose your destination by naming the image.

8. Then "Build" the image.

9. Once finished, load a BDR Blu-ray disc in your burner, open ImgBurn and open your Blu-ray image (iso) file.

10. Burn your disc.

The above is a general process many follow when burning Blu-rays. Basically, create an iso image to be burned in ImgBurn. Encore isn't the greatest at burning Blu-rays. DVDs are generally burned using the same general procedure.

Hi Chris:

An easier route might be to export a self-contained movie file from your Premiere Pro project and then use an application like Roxio Toast to burn your play only Blu-ray disc. (Toasts' Blu-ray feature is just drag and drop and click. It's also Mac only, but if you're on Windows you should be able to find software for Blu-ray burning pretty easily.) Of course, that means purchasing additional software. If you already have Blu-ray burner, it may have come bundled with an application for burning Blu-ray discs.

Hi Warren;

I'm using Windows 7 on a PC.

I can burn data onto any disc very easily (I believe it's part of Windows 7) but does that mean I can burn a program onto a disc that can be played on a home DVD player?

Thanks!

I am in the process of exporting the sequence from Premiere to a folder on my desktop. As per advice from cvid01, I downloaded (free) iSkysoft DVD Creator (trial version).

Once Premiere is finished exporting, should I be able to drop that file into iSkysoft DVD Creator and burn a Blu-ray that can be played on a home DVD player or are there other steps to be taken before that?

Thanks!

Once you download Encore, it has a forum Community: Encore |Adobe Community

Somewhat dated now, but still a lot of good information

CS5-thru-CC PPro/Encore tutorial list http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1448923 has lots of tutorial links to help learn

A chat person told me that Premiere Pro CC 2017(which is what I bought) is not compatable with Encore CS6 (or any other version of Encore for that matter). Is that not correct information?

I don't know what a person means by Encore CS6 being incompatible with PP CC 2017. The only incompatibility I know of is that they cannot be dynamically linked anymore. One can still convert PP files to Blu-ray compatible files for use in Encore. Encore is a DVD/Blu-ray authoring program. PP is an editing program. I have you a general outline of how you can use Encore. If you don't want to try it it's your choice. But to make Blu-rays you do need an authoring program. You can search the Internet for various tools and methods for authoring a blu-ray.

John Smith also gave you some reference material to look at as well. Give it a try.

Media Encoder does not burn discs. It's used for exporting video/audio files for different uses, one of which is to make files for use in a Blu-ray authoring program.

Most people learned by doing. It isn't as complicated as you think.

Thanks very much for your response! However; you must have missed the part

where I said that I am basically a beginner and I have no idea how to do

most of what you instructed. Why must this be so complicated? Aren't

there tutorials with more detail? Is the complete instruction manual for

Premiere Pro CC 2017 not available yet? Sorry - I'm just a bit

frustrated.

Thanks!
