Multipage menus new
Create a smoother experience for viewers when choosing options from across multiple menus. Browsable multipage menus on Blu-ray Disc projects show options across multiple menu pages without interrupting the playback of audio and video background elements.
Sleek new interface for web DVD titles new
Create web DVDs that have a sleek new playback interface, offering easy-to-use playback controls plus the option to watch HD video in full-screen mode.
Web DVD enhancements enhanced
Deliver web versions of full-featured Blu-ray Disc productions. With new support for pop-up menus and subtitles, viewers of web DVD titles enjoy all the benefits of the Blu-ray experience delivered online.
4K mastering new
Take 4K productions directly to high-definition Blu-ray using a workflow that maintains the original 4K content all the way to output. Work with 4K content in the timeline, even using Dynamic Link to incorporate sequences directly from Adobe Premiere® Pro.
24p support new
Maintain the 24p look all the way to output with native 24p project support. Encore supports 24p frame rates for Blu-ray, DVD, and web DVD titles with correct display of 24p timecode in the timeline.
AVCHD output to Blu-ray new
Publish content from AVCHD cameras to Blu-ray using the high-quality native camera format. By passing AVCHD content directly to disc without transcoding, Encore preserves the original fidelity of the source content.
DDP Master support new
Create replicated discs from Encore using direct DDP Master support for DVD discs. The outputted file can then be sent via FTP directly to the mastering facility.
Cross-platform projects new
Share Encore CS5 projects without worrying about platform compatibility. Encore projects can be moved between Windows® and Mac platforms freely, without conversion.
Background transcoding with Adobe Media Encoder new
Work more efficiently when transcoding files using Encore CS5. Adobe Media Encoder, a separate 64-bit application included with Adobe Premiere Pro, transcodes files in the background, keeping Encore free to focus on authoring tasks. This separation of encoding is particularly important with 4K workflows that can normally tax your operating system.
Third-party encoding integration new
Choose the right encoder for the job without sacrificing workflow efficiency. Integrate third-party encoders you already own with the Encore authoring workflow to take advantage of the latest advancements in GPU-accelerated encoding.
