This week is my first time into Adobe Encore CS3. This is Adobe's DVD Authoring editing software basically allowing the user to create detailed DVD Menus, the reson why this software is so popular is because of the ease of publishing a project or product.
I already new the basics of creating a dvd menu and also used an encore Information supplied tutorial booklet. I new about how to set up a new project by switching to PAL for Enlgland (Region 2) instead of NTSC used in North America, this means it'll work in the UK where we are planning to use it. In terms of terminology, what I would have usually called a movie clip is actually a timeline. Differing between different imports such as Timelines, Assests, Slideshow and Menus. This also makes it easier to clean up your project menu, where you can seperate things into files, similarly to Photoshop and its Layer Groups.
In terms of putting all the components together it was pretty self explanatory, with the interface using the "pickwhip" to drag over to your required selection. This makes linking quick and easy , so once I have imported my Timeline and uploaded a Menu from the Library panel they can be easily linked. It is important to check that everything is linked properly and this can be done quickly by either previewing the project or using the "Check Project" feature. This basically checks if you have any loose ends or unlinked pages so you can get to the problem quikcer.
