I have acquired CS3 after a long delay and I have installed it, played with Premier Pro in an attempt to educate myself on the upgrade, all was going well until I tried to 'compile' a test DVD in encore. The files were exported to Encore and it opened up - so far so good!
Then I realised I had no Functional Content in the Library and probably a lot of other content was missing. I loked here [Muvipix] first for ideas but could not find much in the way of pointers, so I trotted off to Adobe Forum and found a couple of articles on the same subject but they seemed to be concerned with the download version and the need to use the Adobe Download Manager.
My software came on a single DVD disc and I cannot find any file like those mentioned in Adobe Form so I'm stuck. I need to go out an buy a book to aid my education but does anyone her have any ideas to help me install the Functional Contentas a first step? I have reinstalled/repaired the installation with all the optional content checked and it ran for over two hours whilst "it repaired" the original installation!
Once I have that sorted then I suppose I will be back with more questions, but one thing I have found in PrPro is the ability to burn the timecode into the picture, just what I have been looking for to show lapsed time during the rugby matches I record. This helps the coaches identify the clips that they need for training.
I have also found a lot of 'spooky' stuff that I'm sure I will begin to use. I'm looking forward to finding how I can filter out 'interference' on the audio caused by mobile & TV transmitters nearby - I use a radio mic on the referee!
Meanwhile I will use PrEl3 to process the recordings for today and tomorrow, not a problem just a minor dissappointment!
Many thanks in advance,
Gerry
