Encore CS4

Dennis Stevens · July 15th, 2010, 07:07 PM

This is stumping me. I opened up a Encore CS4 project which had been working fine. When I preview the project, it starts fine. I can navigate through my menus just fine.

When I click on a button to actually play video, it starts for a second, then the override option kicks in.
I haven't done anything to Adobe. I tried all the projects I have, they all do this. I created a new project, and the same thing happens.

I can' play individual timelines just fine. But they won't launch from a menu button.

This is stumping me. Any ideas?

For such a great product, Encore really has a terrible playback and preview engine.
I would suggest to go ahead, create an ISO image, and test out the functions.

I prefer to use mount the image with Daemon tools (this will treat your image as an actual drive).
Once the ISO gets mounted, the computer treats it like a DVD movie, and your default software should playback with no problems............

Errrrr Hopefully...Assuming you've done the correct links, overrides etc...

Thank you. The project was already burned to dvd, and my client reviewed, and had some small changes to one of the videos. Everything else was fine.

I just realized i wrote CS4, it's CS3.

Hey, I was just able to burn it to a disc and preview it that way. Everything works on the actual dvd. Pain in the bum to do that all the time.
