"Adobe Encore DVD: In the Studio": Turning Readers Into Moviemakers with Adobe Encore DVD
Sebastopol, CA--"Adobe Encore DVD is a professional DVD authoring tool
that combines the depth of professional authoring for complex projects
with the ease of drag-and-drop operation for simple jobs," notes author
and Encore insider Douglas Dixon, who draws on his many years of
experience in the field of DVD authoring to give readers the new Adobe
Encore DVD: In the Studio (O'Reilly, US $39.95).
A part of O'Reilly's new Digital Studio series--the goal of which is to
turn readers into experts quickly and painlessly--this full-color,
hands-on tutorial is brimming with real-life examples, practical
information, and expert advice on designing and creating professional DVDs
with Encore. Complete with project-based lessons, annotated screen shots,
information-packed sidebars with studio advice and background
information--as well as invaluable notes and warnings--this book delivers
everything readers need to create simple, useful DVDs and highly
customized productions.
"The hallmark of Encore is its flexibility in fitting into your preferred
workflow," Dixon continues. As he explains, you can let Encore do
virtually all the work for you, or you can exert precise control over menu
design, navigational linking, and video compression as well as project
management and version control tools.
Not only does Encore provide a streamlined workflow for efficiently
creating great-looking DVDs, but it also offers professional authoring
capabilities for advanced DVD design and tight integration with other
Adobe products, including Photoshop CS, Premiere Pro, Audition, and After
Effects.
