Re: No Encore CC
 

Although I load a lot of client files to the web. I deliver on blu-ray as well.

If you want your client to see the detail and just how great a picture your camera produces, a bluray will beat the web any day hands down. And I think that's important that a client see that as they are paying a good price for it.

Craigs 1990 thought about incompatibility is quite bogus today. I can't remember a client having a compatibility issue in recent years or ever for that matter.

But I do here clients having bandwidth issues. All the time. Even Vimeo suggest 5000kps for HD uploads. I have neighbors who cant reach that consistently. ISP's in the U.S. want us to pay for it then they'll build it.

I'm all in favor of web delivery but it sometimes presents more issues. It's not the answer for large files and long form either. And it doesn't look anywhere near as good as your work delivered on blu-ray.

Adobe officially ends Encore - No More Encore – Adobe’s DVD Authoring App Gets End of Life Status | Premiumbeat.com

I thought there was a huge wedding DVD industry...and what about Blu-ray movies?

Re: No Encore CC
 

I suspect it's very easy for companies to believe that everyone has cutting edge internet connections, whereas reality is somewhat different. Because a trend is in a certain direction, doesn't mean that everyone will instantly transfer over to the new technology. I know a number of people in the industry who still have CRT televisions because they prefer the pictures.

Re: No Encore CC
 

We do a great deal of work for trade shows using video in their booths. Even when we show these clients the ease of running the presentations from a laptop, they still prefer optical discs. Heck, many still prefer a DVD over a Blu-Ray.

Adobe has prided themselves on being ahead of the curve and we have all benefited from this. But this time, they have gone way beyond the curve and we are hurt by it. DVD and Blu-ray are still very much a part of this industry. Don't think they did their homework. As Pete said, just keep Encore in the CC as is - it's a no-brainer.

Re: No Encore CC
 

I'm thinking there is a Risk/Cost benefit to using a DVD as opposed to a Laptop or Media player. Perhaps as flat screen TV's with built in media player tech becomes more common, we could have clients play their video directly from a memory stick plugged into the TV. The only thing I can see may hold that up is people who are technophobes and dont understand the new technology. Whereas DVD has been around long enough that most everybody is comfortable with it, knows how to use it and it is cheap and low risk. If lost or stolen they are only out a copy of the disc and a DVD player (which can be replaced at any store for less than $40).

+1 for paying customers using DVD's...I still burn 'em, and my clients are happy.

Re: No Encore CC
 

I want to clarify a comment made earlier in this thread. I own CS 5.5. If I subscribe to CC, will I be able to download Premiere Pro CS6 (with Encore) at no additional charge?

Are there any significant feature upgrades from Encore 5.5 to 6?

Re: No Encore CC
 

Jim you will have to ask Adobe but I doubt it. I just paid to update to CS6 from CS5.5 so I could have my last Premiere Pro update unless Adobe drops their poorly thought out software rental fiasco with CC.

Re: No Encore CC
 

To Jim: you can confirm with an adobe rep but, I was able to install Premiere Pro CS6 Family, which includes Encore at no extra cost. I used the adobe application manager.

Re: No Encore CC
 

A Creative Cloud subscription gives you access to all the CS6 applications just as it has since it was introduced over a year ago. It now also gives you access to all the new CC versions. It would have made no sense to drop CS6 applications forcing current subscribers to upgrade to CC.

Re: No Encore CC
 

Thanks, that's good to know.

Since when is 'sense' a motivator for Adobe? The only motivator is money.
