Introduction:
Based on the title of this article, you are probably wondering what differences there could possibly be between encoding in Adobe Media Encoder versus encoding directly in Adobe Premiere. Aren’t they using the same processes for encoding? When all the settings are the same in both applications, shouldn’t the output look identical and take the same amount of time? You would think so, but our findings will blow your mind…
We have recently updated our support section to provide a solution for those experiencing the Encore “Start at Loop Point” bug.
What is the ‘Start at Loop Point’ bug? Well here is the break down…
First of all, this bug only seems to occur on some system configurations. We have had reports of it happening on all versions of Encore on both PC and Mac, however the majority of users do not experience it, and in fact we have been unable to reproduce the bug ourselves.
If you have been affected by this bug, you will notice that even though you specified a sub-menu to return to the loop point of the main menu, it still returns to the beginning of that menu.
There are actually two different Encore bugs that lead to you experiencing this problem, and luckily there is a solution for both:

We are announcing a new policy regarding project revisions for our authoring services that should have everyone excited!
You will now be entitled to receive one free revision per project after it has been completed.
Typo with a name? Client demands footage be added or removed? Everyone makes mistakes once in a while, whether it’s your fault or your client’s, and we don’t feel you should have to eat the cost of that.
We want the client to see their video for the first time with all the impressive motion menus and professional packaging, providing them a much more memorable experience and it will give them a more positive impression of your company, which translates into increased referrals for you.
When you finish your edit, send it to us for authoring. No need to send your client a “proof copy” or anything like that which not only takes away from the experience of watching their film for the first time, but just creates more work for you. If changes need to be made, fix them and send us the revised file. Your only cost will be for the replacement disc.
We want you to succeed by delivering a better quality product to your clients. We know how valuable your time is, and our services are designed to maximize efficiency and minimize costs on each project.
