Working with Adobe Premiere Pro
12 When Premiere Pro has finished rendering the file, close the project and exit from
Premiere Pro.
Using the Edit Original command
When you need to make a change in a file you exported from Premiere Pro, use the Edit
Original command in Adobe Encore DVD. In this project, you will remove part of the
video from the middle of the timeline.
1 Open the Adobe Encore DVD project.
2 Choose File > Import as Asset, and select the Scene01.avi file. Click Open.
3 Select the Scene01.avi file in the Project window, and click the Create a New Timeline
button ( ) at the bottom of the Project window.
Adobe Encore DVD creates a timeline for the AVI file, and opens the Monitor window.
4 Click the Play button in the Monitor window to view the AVI file.
You will remove the portion of the clip that shows the tombstones. You could use Adobe
Encore DVD to trim the in point or the out point of a video, but you need to use Premiere
Pro to remove a section from the middle of the clip.
About AVI files
The advantages and disadvantages of using AVI files are the inverse of those for MPEG-2 files.
Advantages
• More applications play AVI files, so you can distribute them more widely, separate from the DVD
you burn.
• Yo u can edit AVI files in most video-editing applications.
• A single file contains both the audio and video components.
• Yo u can place chapter points wherever you want them.
Disadvantages
• Because Adobe Encore DVD converts AVI files to MPEG-2 files when burning to disc, projects that
use AVI files can take longer to burn.
• AVI files usually have larger file sizes than comparable MPEG-2 files.
• Yo u can’t choose the transcode settings for an AVI file.
