In a post on the company’s website, Adobe announced “special introductory upgrade pricing” for CS3 and CS4 owners who upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite 6 software or to the subscription-based Adobe Creative Cloud. Adobe saves dollars.There’s some potentially good news on the horizon for creative professionals who’ve clung to the CS3 and CS4 versions of Adobe’s suite of photo-editing, illustration, and design applications, but who might want to upgrade to the company’s forthcoming Creative Suite 6 (CS6) or subscribe to its new Creative Cloud. As they listened to users complaining about the Adobe move to subscription, they realized they'd rather have perpetual license! So a few months from now, they'll announce that, in response to customer requests, they are adding a new application, Encore Pro.īottom line, with Encore CS6, as second rate as it is, it authors well enough for folks to deliver product. But I'll bet they are on a SUBSCRIPTION plan and pay every month. Hmm, maybe they are dropping it becuase Sonic/Roxio/Rove (with the end to Scenarist) dropped them! I always assumed they couldn't do more development because the deal with Sonic was too good to renogiate. And we do not know what they pay for the Sonic authorcore Encore is built on. Contrary to the commitment for all the rest of CS6, they explicitly plan no bug fixes or operating system updates for Encore CS6. Ending Encore saves them a whole department of employees. Many long term customers rely on DVD and Bluray for bread and butter income - and they have been begging for important bug fixes and features enhancements still.īut arguments for them keeping it in order to make money can't take into account their costs. DVD/BD may be on the way out, but so is SD media - and they don't remove SD workflows from PR. The Adobe rationale for discontinuing development of a DVD authoring program is disengenuous. If they fixed the problems, there might even be people willing to pay $20 per month for a DVD creation tool, especially if they only paid for the month when they needed it.

Perhaps their problem is that they think of it as an Extension to Premiere Pro instead of a standalone product. Maybe subscriptions will work out for them, but there is even more money out there if they would just pay attention. Lack of foresight appears to be the hallmark of the Adobe Marketing department. Once again, just like the lack of an "exit strategy", Adobe is leaving money on the table that people would be happy to pay if they got what they wanted. As a standalone product it would have caused people to want more than one app and got them thinking about what else they might need to make it worth $50 per month instead of $20 or $40. Even if the DL problems had been addressed and made to work with CC, that would have been enough to make it worthwhile. (Altough probably not.)īut the improvements would have had to be considerable for that. I think Adobe made a mistake not upgrading Encore. The users who had the best success with dynamic link were using SD to SD.ĭynamic link should have been improved, not abandoned. Dynamic link just continued to have a too high frustration factor. And for bluray projects, there continue to be too frequent reports of Encore overshooting the disk size. This improved in newer versions of Premiere/AME, but I don't think it convinced many users to go back to dynamic link. In earlier versions, quality was better if you used your own export from Premiere, and many users found the best quality in third party export options. scale to fill - that was essential for HD to SD). The Automatic transcode option is an important point of using dynamic link, and you could not control some of the transcode options (e.g. And when you are having a problem (of any type) in an Encore project and you are using dynamic link, avoiding it was the most likely fix. This may have improved from the earlier dynamic link versions, but the problems were reported often enough that many users did not use it and discouraged others using it. Projects going from HD to SD (downrezzing) seemed to have problems with dynamic link. What are these problems using DL from PPro CS6 to Encore?
