I am a Creative Cloud subscriber and would like to use Encore, but I do not see the icon in the APPS page of my Creative Cloud page. Where do I search to find ENCORE and is it really part of the subscription?

I am having the same problem, does anyone know how to reach Encore so I can put a video I created through Premier Pro onto a DVD? Thank you.

Physical media is all I do. I have had no requests for "cloud" etc. This is not happening now. I can see it in the looming future, but right now I need to burn dvd's and blu ray. My customers want "physical" "hands on".

To just kill it is killing me. Why do I need Premiere if all my work isn't carried over to what makes what I sell?

Not happy.

Feeling very cheated, having promised someone a DVD for a job (having been a long time CS4/5/5.5 and then CS 6 user) - to suddenly discover Encore doesn't exist in CC! Very poor show Adobe. You've let a lot of customers down by keeping that one pretty quiet and by shouting about a lot of not-very-useful bells and whistles, whilst ignoring the fact that a lot of us still supply our customers with DVD copies of their films. Unlike you - we can't just turn round and say "sorry - that's old hat, we don't do DVD's anymore". Very unimpressive behaviour!

Adobe did NOT decide to drop Encore, they were FORCED to stop at CS6 due to licensing

-CS6 is the final Encore, see #8 here for why http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1337952?tstart=0

All your questions regarding Encore and Adobe CC are here: http://www.adobe.com/products/encore/faq.edu.html. You won't like the answers.

The summary is, that is for Windows, you have to re-install Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 which is really "Adobe Premiere CS6 Family." That means you have to take the hit to download and install both Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and Encore CS6. Then uninstall "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Family." The uninstall process will prompt you to uninstall Premiere Pro CS6 and/or Encore CS6. Select to uninstall Premiere Pro CS6 (if you're upgrading to Adobe Premiere Pro CC you don't need it). Pretty lame. This mess might be a deal breaker for me in about a year when my subscription price goes up.

My feelings exactly. I keep reading how Adobe is listening to all of the comments regarding the cloud rollout. I hope enough people bring up the lack of an updated Encore that perhaps they will reconsider....

From the following kb document:
http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/encore-cs6-installed-cc.html

Encore CS6 does not have a stand-alone installer, and is not listed as an available app in the Creative Cloud application. All CS6 products are included with the Creative Cloud subscription, but there is a special process to download those applications.

Open the Adobe Creative Cloud application.
Mac OS: Go to the Applications folder and open the Adobe Creative Cloud alias.
Windows 7: Go to Start > All Programs > Adobe Creative Cloud.
Windows 8: Open the Adobe Creative Cloud application from the Start Screen.

Click the Apps tab in the Adobe Creative Cloud applications.

Locate Adobe Premiere Pro CC and click More Information.

The page at https://creative.adobe.com/ for the current version of Adobe Premiere Pro opens. Select the current version and choose CS6.

.Click the button marked "Download Adobe Premiere Pro CS6"

Note:

Once you have installed Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, you can go through the uninstall process for that application. During the CS6 uninstallation, you are given a chance to select which components to uninstall. Leave Encore deselected, and check Premiere Pro to remove just the Adobe Premiere Pro components.

Install the Encore CS6 templates and library content

The Encore CS6 installer does not automatically install the templates or library content that can be used to create your own menus.

A guide to installing these files can be found here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-missing.html

Workflow using Encore CS6 and Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Encore CS6 is not designed to work with Adobe Premiere Pro CC using dynamic link. There is a new workflow in the video found at the following link.

No ENCORE?!?!? This is the one part of the new adobe I think is crazy. My bread and butter is shooting weddings and live events and my clients expect is there events to be delivered via DVD AND/or Bluray?

There are still several generations of people that are comfortable with the physical medium. We are not at a completely streaming generation and discs are not dinosaurs yet.

I really hope adobe releases something to author discs. Probably not.

I guess I'll have to switch over to another authoring program. Grrrrr!

Same here. All weddings and other stuff I shoot goes to DVD and Blu-ray. Sometimes the couple or client wants a USB-stick but this is not common.

in order to restore encore, you will need to re-install Premiere Pro CS6 (at least temproarily) to get it. Encore has been retired. More information is available at http://www.adobe.com/products/encore/faq.html.

To (re-)install Premiere Pro CS6, got to https://creative.adobe.com/ login and then go to the Download Center area. You can then click on the Premiere Pro Icon. It will take you to https://creative.adobe.com/products/premiere

Go down to the "In This Version" section and open the drop-down and select the "Premiere Pro CS6" from it.

The download button will change to "Download Premiere Pro CS6"

Click on the button and then it should open the creative cloud app and download Premiere Pro CS6.

After the installation, you can go to the uninstall Premiere Pro CS6 and ONLY select Premiere Pro For unstallation. This will leave Encore.

Here is a Video on how the workflow has changed between Encore and Premiere Pro CC.

How bad is this!!! Do they realy think DVD and Blu-ray are dead?

I understand that a lot of people watch movies on there smartphone or tablet but I know a lot of people who watch movies on there 40"+ TV from DVD or Blu-ray.

I'm using Adobe CC products only for movie editing and they kill the most important part (delivering to clients). Bad, bad, bad...

In the light of this information from Jon Geddes: http://www.precomposed.com/blog/2013/06/ame-vs-premiere/#more-1335 sums up the reason I have always preferred to use the dynamic link as compared to using AME for my DVD or blu ray timelines. Being a wedding and events videographer I have always delivered on blu ray and DVD and sometimes on other media.

This sheds some more light on the issues:

http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2011/02/cuda-mercury-playback-engine-and-adobe-premiere-pro.html

Most important result form above blogs is that if you are scaling down from HD to SD (e.g. for DVD) you need to use direct export to get a sharp enough image.

I particpiated about a year ago in a lengthy thread on the forum, regarding AME and Direct Export. I don't have the link anymore and can't search right now, but as far as I remember AME does not support CUDA. There are general problems with dynamic link because Encore is only 32-bit.

Incorrect! Adobe Encore CS6 is 64 bit.

For most people, these are the issues:

Encore is included with Premiere, but it is a separate install. Some cloud users seem to have trouble finding the program to run once it is installed. Look in any adobe apps folder.
