    RED FLASH IN ENCORE

    Spoot51 Community Member

      I've been plagued by this annoying deal since CS2, along with many others. I film in HDV, edit in PPRO and use either PPRo or Encore to encode. I NEVER encounter a problem in the edit program, only when importing to Encore. I want to know what would be an optimal range for settings to produce an HDV DVD. Also, when the flashes occur, should I increase or decrease the settings in Adobe Media Encoder to get rid of the flash. Is 10/18/24 too high or too low to produce an error free DVD? Current project is tight deadline to finish kid's HS Baseball Team DVD before the banquet next week. It's about an hour in duration and everthing is working fine except Encore.

      Thanks in advance.....

          Sounds more like Bluray settings than DVD.  What are you trying to create?  (And if an HD file on a DVD, have you created such before, and with what settings.)

           

          You say since CS2; what are you using now?

           

          The red flashes around CS3 or was it CS4?, were placeholders to get a file in sync.  Is there any other situation where adobe adds pure red frames?

            I think it is the BluRay encoder settings. I'm in CS3 now, waiting for more vid card support before going to CS5. That was my question: should I be increasing or reducing the BluRay, actually 1080i, encoder settings. I'm at 10/18/24 in PPRO to create .mv2 files to import into Encore. (I am under the impression both Encore and PPRO use the same encoder so it doesn't matter where I encode). Flashes are occuring in sections with no transitions, effect, titles, etc--just plain old HDV film from a SONY HDR FX7 with one or two audio tracks -mic and a .wav file (PCM) . It's random. Sometimes a whole film with no problem and plenty of effects, other times big problems and a simple film. That's why I am narrowing it down to encoder settings, but I'm not an expert and appreciate the help people give here!

              I don't recall what this issue was, and no time to search at the moment.
