Vote for which I should spend my limited time to devote to a tutorial for you ingrates.

Keep in mind that both use Adobe Premiere *PRO*.

KiLlEr,

If you have time, could you cover the "how tos" of Encore, perhaps as a separate tutorial?

And in regards to Encore, can the menu be made with a PSD file from the prior version of Photoshop?

I think subtitling can be done with After Effects, which /also/ works with Photoshop, Premiere and Encore. I mean, talk about planning on Adobe's end.

You can use any version to paint menus (and for that matter any decent paint program can work), but the direct import through a PSD file requires the use of layer folders, which only exist in Version 7 and up, and aspect correction which only exists in version 8. I don't recall Version 6 having those features but I didn't spend that much time with version 6. I know version 5 didn't have them. You don't have to use aspect correction, but you have to remember to create the menu in 640x480 and then stretch it out to 720x480 when your finished in order compensate for the aspect difference, otherwise you won't be able to import the images.

I mean, talk about planning on Adobe's end.

Yeap, they don't call it "Creative Studio" for nothing.

I can create a quicky tutorial on making a DVD menu in Encore, at least how to make the "assets" that make up the menu using standard methods. Using PSD import really is alot easier, since navigating around in Encore tends to be a pain.

Oh I'm interested. I'd like to see what technique you are using.
