Thanks for the video.

Danielle,

You're welcome

Tami, you did it again another informative tutorial. Thanks very much!

I followed your first tutorial closely and it went very well. I followed your second tutorial closely and it too went just like you did it. I noticed in the first video you did that after we entered the still images and then hit “enter” each of the images were rendered to a folder on the hard drive. These images looked like mini video clips but they weren’t together. They were just rendered by themselves. This took some time obviously. In the second video we skipped the “entering” part and went straight to the burning a DVD section. This also took some time to do since it appeared the rendering process was started all over again.

My question is why hit “enter” after getting your images on the timeline to be rendered is they are only going to be rendered a second time when you create the Dvd.? Why not just go straight to the burn Dvd and do it from there if it has to be rendered in order for the Dvd to be written too?

I rendered it in the first video so everyone could see what it looked like as a finished product as well as it needs to be rendered before it can export.

Plus if you have composite effects, you won't see them smoothly untill after they are rendered. Now that didn't have any composite effects but old habits die hard :shock: If for some reason you had a keyframe out of place you wouldn't know it till it was rendered.

The processing on the DVD is not actually rendering it's conversion to MPEG 2 which is the format for DVD's.

Hope that answers your questions

Thanks, Tami, that answers my question. I never thought of rendering the slide show first to see if there's any keyframes out of place. Thanks for the tip within a tip

Is there a way of changing the Dvd menu's to your liking. PE only allows just so many different menu's to choose from so I'd like to be able to decide how many different scene selections I want and not be stuck with the usual 3 or 4 offered in the program. It would be nice if Adobe offered up some type of upgrade for PE and hopefully this would be one of the added features. That is, more menu's to select from.

You're Welcome

Currently all you can change are the text fields on the DVD menus.

I know alot of people would like Menus they can edit, as well as a larger selection so maybe Adobe will listen at some point

Hi! I have a comment about burning a DVD. A while ago, I worked on a project that ended up being about 40 min long after editing. When I went to burn the DVD, it would stop after a while & say "Encoding error". I tried several different times. Then I found out what was wrong...finally...
If your computer has a screen saver that comes on after a certain period of time, disable it. What was happening was that my screensaver was coming on in the middle of the burning & disrupting it.

I just wanted everyone to know this, since it took me weeks to figure it out & I thought it was a problem with my burner!

If it is a short DVD like Beagley, the screen saver probably wouldnt come on during the burning process. :lol:

Good Point!

Thanks for the tip

My monitors just go to sleep if they are inactive for however long it is.

Thank you so much for your tutorials. I've been so frustrated trying to figure out this program that I had just about given up. I am trying to recreate a slide show I had made in power point. I went into Premiere Elements, chose slide show and imported the pictures, but there are over 100 pictures so it was impossible to try and move them into the correct order on that time line. So I went back to Photoshop, tagged them all, put them in the right order and then imported them into elements from the tag. Added music and burned to DVD. Unfortunatley the pictures were all pixelated and didn't look very good. What did I do wrong?
Thanks
