Industry-leading Blu-ray Disc authoring with Adobe Encore CS3 — on Mac OS and Windows

Maintain the pristine quality of your HD video all the way to distribution.

As high definition (HD) has become the new standard for video, and Blu-ray Disc has won the high-definition format war for storing HD content, it's more important than ever to be able to author professional-quality Blu-ray discs. Included with Adobe Premiere® Pro CS3 and Adobe Creative Suite® 3 Production Premium software, Adobe Encore® CS3 software makes output to a wide range of industry-standard media formats, including Blu-ray Disc, easy and efficient.

Use the same Encore interface and features to author and deliver commercial-quality titles on both standard-definition DVD and high-definition Blu-ray Disc. Or author a high-definition Blu-ray Disc project and, with one click, create a finished standard-definition DVD project.

The unmatched integration between Encore and Adobe Photoshop®, After Effects®, and Adobe Premiere Pro software enables you to create Blu-ray discs more efficiently. For example, use Edit Original to modify a media file in Photoshop or Adobe Premiere Pro, and instantly see the changes in Encore. Create menus in Photoshop file format with the Photoshop technology built into Encore. Buttons, text, and images are stored as layers and layer sets so you can edit them later in Photoshop.

Encore CS3 is included with:

Save even more time by eliminating intermediate rendering with Adobe Dynamic Link. Exclusively available in Creative Suite 3 Production Premium, Dynamic Link allows you to edit a composition in After Effects and view your updates instantly in Encore and Adobe Premiere Pro.

Encore simplifies production and preserves control over interactivity and output. Instead of doing manual scripting, visually drag and drop assets to create your DVD and Blu-ray Disc navigation with the visual flowchart. Design full-featured interfaces by using robust text tools, high-definition royalty-free menu templates and art, and automated menu generation.

Learn how Encore CS3 — now available for Mac OS — can enhance your workflow by outputting to Blu-ray discs, even if you're working with Apple's Final Cut Studio or Avid's professional editing tools.
