I'm sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but a search didn't reveal it. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to enable "snapping" in Encore. In Premiere, one asset would snap (align) into place right at the end of another asset, even if below it on the timeline. I have separate video and audio that I'm trying to align on the timeline, and can't be sure it is lined up without being able to snap it. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks for any help.
Evan

I don't believe that Encore offers this feature. As I'm sure you understand, although it has a timeline, Encore is primarily a DVD-authoring tool, not a video editor.

Try zooming in as far as you can, and then line the clip up where you want it.

Evan,

If you are still experiencing problems, I'd take your Assets back to Premiere and do all of the alignment there. Then Export (your choice of formats, though DV-AVI Video only and PCM/WAV [or AC3] Audio only would be good choices) the new Sequences from Premiere, and Import into Encore. No problem with alignment then.

Good luck,

Hunt

Thanks for the replies. My assets are .m2v video files, and WAV audio. Will those be reencoded if I bring them into Premiere?

Now that I have a blu-ray burner, I'm going back to old projects (that were previously just rendered for uploading to Vimeo), and assembling them into a master project that I will burn to a blu ray disc. Unfortunately, a couple of the smaller projects were done in Pinnacle Studio, so the above assets in question were what I had rendered out of Studio, requiring me to piece together the projects. With the old projects done in Premiere, I'm just using the project files and going from there.

Evan,

If you have the elemental streams, I must have missed something with your problem. I'm now not sure where the lack of a "snap" is occurring.

Are you grouping your .m2v files on a single Timeline and then placing the WAV files to match up to their Videos?

Instead of using a single Timeline, consider using multiple Timelines, each with one .m2v and its corresponding WAV. With this approach, you will get a "snap" to the beginning of each Timeline.

You can then Link the Timelines to one another, or include them in a Playlist.

If I am still missing the problem, I'm sorry.

Good luck,

Hunt

Ah, I think I'm just not up to speed on Encore yet. I will go back in and try the multiple Timelines. Thanks very much for the help!
