Export-to-DVD settings
The following settings are available in the General panel:
Disc Name
To change the name, choose Custom from the Disc Name pop-up menu, type
a name, and click OK. The default filename is automatically generated by Adobe Premiere
Pro, based on the date and time when you choose the Export To DVD command.
Chapter Points At
Select to automatically generate DVD chapter markers at timeline
markers. Although you can’t create chapter menus in Adobe Premiere Pro, this option
allows a DVD controller to navigate using chapter buttons.
Loop Playback
Select to cause the DVD to play from the start of the program when it
reaches the end of the program.
The following settings are available in the Encoding panel:
Preset
Select a preset of transcoding settings from the menu. To customize, see “Using
Adobe Media Encoder transcode presets” on page 292.
Comment
Provides an informational description of the current preset. You can change
the description by clicking the Edit button to open the Transcode Settings dialog box and
enter a new description. However, this overrides the current preset, so the preset name
changes to “Custom Preset” unless you save the preset while editing the comment.
Edit
Click to open the Transcode Settings dialog box to adjust the settings and create a
custom preset, which you can save. You can also import a setting from the Transcode
Settings dialog box.
Export Range
Select whether you want to export the entire sequence duration (the
default), or the work area defined in the sequence’s timeline.
Fields
Select a field dominance setting only if you want to override the field dominance
settings in the selected preset.
Maximize Bitrate
Select if you want Adobe Premiere Pro to calculate and use the highest
bitrate that will allow the content to fit on the DVD. This will override the bitrate specified
in the selected preset. The bitrate calculation is based on the Export Range duration and
the available space on the DVD.
Force Variable Bitrate
Select if you want Adobe Premiere Pro to override the preset and
vary the bitrate based on the content. This option is available only when Maximize Bitrate
is selected.
Note: Adobe Technical Support can support only preset bitrates.
The following settings are available in the DVD Burner panel:
DVD Burner
Select from the DVD writers that are available to the computer.
