Encore in Creative Cloud

[Greg61854]

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?

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

John,

You provide outstanding input and support on this forum but on this point I respectfully disagree that only a licensing issue forced Adobe to not provide SOME disc-based authoring software and therefore it is okay it was not updated.  Had they wanted to, I am sure they could have found a way to make something happen even with this issue.  Although that is an interesting post and analysis.

They  released many new "apps"/programs for CC that most people don't use. Certainly an Encore replacement could have been one of them and would not have cost an arm and a leg to develop.

But they made a decision to re-allocate their resources.....and not support disc-based authoring.  If there was a licensing issue that impacted say a legacy Pr Pro, AE or PS feature or plugin, I am sure that would have been resolved so it would not have to be dropped.  It was just not a priority.

It still irks me and there is still not an elegant authoring solution that will not cost more than the cloud membership. Using Encore CS6 with the increasingly updated PP is clunky at best.  But yes....it is out there but as noted above, as new OS's come out that support is sketchy.

I would be interesting if streaming can't keep up with ever increasing resolutions and we have to go back to optical for certain applications...:)

BjB, I do not disagree with your comment. But the official Adobe response did not argue licensing, they argued "disks will soon be dead," an absurd reason for not supporting their many users who, even if dropping DVD, are providing Blu-ray disks. (And that response is no longer on the web.) However, a) disk authoring is not a simple add-on/app (i.e. substantial resources would be need to create from the ground up), b) it is on the wane, and c) even the parts that Adobe wrote were still bug plagued. So I think Adobe ever doing disk authoring was not likely...

Stan,

I totally agree!

Go back and re-read the "why" link I provided in reply 52

Adobe did NOT say that... it was mentioned in that linked message as the reason the disc writing owner, which was purchased by another company, would no longer license their disc writing modules

As to why Adobe has not written a replacement for Encore, my GUESS is that since they may still sell Creative Suite 6 and further since writing an Encore replacement that did not infringe on copyrights would be a major project, the decision was made to stay with offering Encore CS6 and not write a new program

As long as you have a computer that will run CS6, keep using that program for your disc writing needs

When the day comes (Windows 10 or Mac 10.???) that Encore CS6 does not work for you... find a different program

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.
