I use the Suite 5.5 and this question is about Encore when using the Dynamic link from Premier Pro (Pr). I have always used the automated way to import from Pr to Encore. It automatically compresses as needed to fill the DVD. And because my video is almost always under 2 hours that works great. Even for videos that are over 2 hours long. Now here is the problem:
Sometime I use several effects in [Pr] and render so I can better see what I am doing without all that skipping.
I would like to use the render files (previews) for making the DVD in Encore when transcoding.
Yes, I understand you go to Edit Quality Presets and at the bottom you checkmark the [Use Previews] box. But now it is nolonger automatically compressing the file to fit the DVD, or I don't it so.
So the question is:
How can I use the preview files (rendered files) from [Pr] to speed up the transcoding in Encore and automatically size fit the Video to fill the DVD.
Thank you,
Tom
