![]() In addition to the absence of a CC version of Encore, the ability to send a sequence from Premiere Pro CC to Encore CS6 via Dynamic Link is gone ( Figure 2, below). For those needing help in the short term, Sony Creative Software, with multiple DVD and Blu-ray options, is a good place to start. But not today, so I’ll leave the discussion of which authoring program is best for another day. Where does that leave us? Well, sometime, down the road, you’ll need to choose another DVD/Blu-ray authoring program to serve your clients who demand physical media deliverables. Please note that Encore CS6 support for future operating system updates or new hardware platforms will not be provided.” So, there will be no more improvements, and sometime in the future, an OS update will break Encore and Adobe won’t fix it. Regarding future updates to Encore, Adobe states, “Encore CS6 is supported on Microsoft® Windows® 7 with Service Pack 1 (64 bit) and Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7. Therefore we are focusing more on products that deliver to streaming services.” As a site dedicated to online video production, we can’t argue with that assessment and given that Apple stopped developing DVD Studio Pro with the 4.0 release in 2005, it’s hard to take issue with Adobe’s decision. The future is in cloud and streaming content. Pulling from the Adobe FAQ, end-of-life means that the “Encore CS6 version will be the final release of this product.” Adobe makes their motivation clear: “The trend in the video and broadcast industry is moving away from physical media distribution. Click on the image to see it at full size. CC subscribers can access all CS6 applications. Remember, you have access to all CS6 applications as part of your CC subscription, so downloading CS6 apps should not be a problem.įigure 1. The simple answer is that you download Premiere Pro CS6 from the Creative Cloud ( Figure 1, below), install it, and then uninstall Premiere Pro CS6 if desired. Probably the most pressing problem for many CC subscribers is how to get Encore CS6 installed if you no longer have installation files for Premiere Pro CS6, which installed Encore and Adobe Media Encoder as well as Premiere Pro. How to Get Adobe Encore CS6 from Your Creative Cloud Subscription In this article, I’ll discuss how to install Encore if you’re a CC subscriber and don’t have Encore CS6 already installed on your computer, the terms and implications of Encore’s end-of-life status, and how to work around the lack of Dynamic Link transfers from Premiere Pro CC to Encore CS6. I also learned that while Encore CS6 can work with Premiere Pro CC, there is no Dynamic Link transfer from PP CC to Encore CS6 you have to output your timelines separately and input them into Encore CS6. So I figured I would download the app from the Adobe Creative Cloud site, but Encore was missing there, as well.Ī quick Google search led to the realization that Adobe had “end-of-lifed” Encore, which has significant implications to many event producers. I had installed Premiere Pro CC on the computer and started looking for Encore to run some Blu-Ray Disc encoding tests. I’m not sure that’s ever been tested, though.So, there I was, starting to run some tests on a brand new HP Z820 with 12/24 core E5-2697 v2 CPUs, one of the fastest workstations on the planet. ![]() I don’t know that for a fact, but if you were to be in a lawsuit (highly, highly unlikely), I doubt you could win. Works fine.Īnd just to play devil’s advocate, any software you purchased on e-bay most likely does not have a valid license (even if you have a valid activation code), because you didn’t purchase it from Adobe or an authorized reseller. In my case, I have still been able to author basic (play once or with simple chapters) DVDs and Blu-rays using FCPX. I realize there’s still a need in many circles, but obviously everyone’s direction is towards cloud and streaming. The general consensus – right or wrong – by software manufacturers, is that physical consumer media (CD, DVD, Blu-Ray) is dead and, therefore, they have quit catering to those needs. Encore being the last of the batch, because enough people screamed. They have only left it available up until recently. Well, Adobe hasn’t been supporting any legacy software for some time. ![]()
