  2. DVD LEARNING CENTER TECH 4280 Welcome to the DVD Learning Center! This slide show is the initial step in creating a professional DVD with an interactive menu. We will be using Adobe Encore to compose this popular form of multimedia. Before we begin, we will want to familiarize you with some of the terms you will need to know when navigating through the program.

  3. Using the software

  4. Save Locally Keep All File Names Related It is important for any digital video program to combine all files associated with the project and save them directly on the PC. Avoid saving files to an external drive while working on the project. If you fail to do this, you may lose files during transfer or accidently delete them. The program we use does not copy files into the program, it pulls them from their location. If you remove the file, the program will lose its connection. Save Your Work Frequently Keep Project Settings the Same as Original Video

  5. Encore Encore: DVD and Blu-ray Authoring Encore is one of the components of the Adobe Creative Suite 4 (CS4). You may also be familiar with Adobe Premiere, After Effects and Flash. Other programs used within the design studio are Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver. Encore allows you to create navigation of video clips and interactive motion menus for a professional look.

The higher the number, the clearer the picture. The better the picture, the larger the file size. Blu-ray
