Not right away, either, but after it was half done (taking 24 hours to get that far). There were really just a few reasons why I wanted to pass the project through Premiere Pro:ġ: The last time I tried to get Encore to do something with an AE project, it gave errors. 2.7 TB is just absurd as the idea that Adobe doesn't have a solution for me. Storage is easier these days, but it's not that easy. Step 3: Hopefully Encore has fewer bugs, or at least is now able to two-pass H.264 encode a frame-served video without crashing after a single 24-hour (!) pass.Īnyone have any takes on this? Suggestions? Experience?
Step 2: Put in some chapter marks, add a second audio track (don't laugh, but I'm going to be adding a director's commentary so I can whine about what an immense pain the project was to complete), and then use Dynamic Link to feed the result to Encore. AEP project file within Premiere Pro, either by loading it directly if it has that capability (I doubt it, since it's 0-255 colorspace), or using Dynamic Link. I don't have CS4 right in front of me yet (going to get a glimpse soon), but here's what I was thinking. This is the sort of arbitrary, stubborn, anti-consumer decision which I frankly hope will someday bite Adobe on the arse. Now here we are, more than a year down the road, and apparently AE is still unable to do two-pass H.264. Lacking a resolution, nor any real forum talk on the issue, I settled for AE's own built-in H.264 codec, which was single pass only. Unfortunately, Encore was an astonishingly buggy app, and it would always spit out an error upon completing the first of two passes.

When it came time to render, I eventually figured out how to rework it as 1080i60 and frame serve it to Encore. Approximately a year ago, I spent a great deal of time on a home video project, opting to create it primarily with After Effects because of the superior editing flexibility, the unambiguous support for 1920x1080, and the absence of guesswork over whether a video is using 16-235 or 0-255 colorspace ( Premiere Pro was crushing my whites, and I didn't like that).
