Adobe Encore DVD Training Course

 

Adobe Encore DVD
Duration: 2 days
Adobe Encore DVD

Course Synopsis: Adobe Encore DVD takes DVD authoring to a new level of creativity and efficiency, with its unparalleled integration with Adobe Premiere®, Photoshop®, and After Effects®. This class gives students the knowledge and experience to create sophisticated, multi-language DVDs with interactive menus, multiple audio tracks, and
subtitle tracks. After completing this course, students will have the ability to create professional-level DVD productions.

Who Should Attend: Professional videographers, DVD authors, and independent producers who wish to use the power of Adobe Encore DVD to create multi-language, masterful DVDs would benefit from this course. Handson exercises, along with tips & tricks, give the student the necessary skills to work efficiently in Adobe Encore DVD.

Prerequisites: Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening and saving files, and the general operations of computers. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills may be required to observe the class lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down the rest of the class. We highly recommend that students have experience in a non-linear editing program, such as Adobe Premiere.

What You Will Learn:
• Working with Native Adobe Photoshop menus
• Importing PSD files as menus
• Working with Styles
• Integrated transcoding
• Motion menu creation
• Adobe Premiere Pro integration
• Adobe After Effects integration
• Using the flowchart
• Photoshop text tools
• Burning to DVD

Time: Class time is 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. Breaks are scheduled throughout the day and lunch is typically scheduled 12-1. Students provide their own lunch.

Locations: We have company-operated facilities in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, San Diego and Washington DC. We also work with a network of rental facilities to offer our classes regularly across the United States and in Canada. Please double-check the location of your class with our office to make sure you get to the right location.
