Opening a project


    Before you can import your assets, you need to create or open a project. You can have only one project open at a time. Adobe Encore DVD prompts you to select a default TV standard when you create your initial project. You can change your default standard or have Adobe Encore DVD prompt you for a standard each time you create a new project. See Setting the project's TV standard. Although you can create projects using either TV standard in Adobe Encore DVD, you can only choose one standard per project. You cannot import assets of one standard into a project that you set to another standard.

    Note: Previously saved projects have an .ncor extension.

To start a new project:

  1. Choose File > New Project.
  2. If this is your first new project after installing Adobe Encore DVD, do one of the following in the Project Settings dialog box, and click OK:
    • Select NTSC to work with content that conforms to the NTSC TV standard.
    • Select PAL to work with content that conforms to the PAL TV standard.

    Note: To prevent this dialog box from appearing before subsequent new projects, select "Don't prompt for setting; always use default setting". Set the default setting, and reset whether this dialog box appears in subsequent launches, in the Preferences dialog box.

To open a previous project:

  1. Choose File > Open Project.
  2. Navigate to the project you want to open and click Open.

To open a recent project:

    Choose File and navigate to the project you want to open from the section near the bottom of the menu, where the last four projects you saved are listed in the order in which you saved them.
