Encore CS4 Essential Training

with Chad Perkins

 


Encore CS4 Essential Training covers not only the basic workflow for creating DVDs, but also the important technical concepts and advanced features that can lead to real mastery of this powerful application. Chad Perkins demonstrates how to import and organize assets; assemble them into a timeline; and provide navigation via menus, buttons, and links. He discusses output alternatives such as Flash and Blu-ray, and integration with other CS4 applications like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. A series of projects is used to reinforce the techniques and concepts. Exercise files accompany the course.
Topics include:
  • Understanding disc formats, compression, and pixel aspect ratios
  • Creating navigation with the Flowchart
  • Working with subtitles and surround sound
  • Adding games and "Easter eggs"
  • Using Encore as a presentation tool
  • Creating menus from scratch in Photoshop
  • Testing and exporting
