Adobe Encore

The times they are a’changing. As consumers trend away from physical media, it’s no wonder that the apps to create those physical media are shinking as well. First the demise of Apple’s DVD Studio Pro…now Adobe Encore.  Adobe has announced that the last version of Encore, CS6, will be its last.

In addition, Dynamic Link between Encore and Premiere Pro is no longer supported.  So much for the handy video editing to DVD creation workflow we reported on recently. That said, Encore is still available for those users who subscribe the Adobe Creative Cloud…but for how long will remain to be seen.

With professional Mac DVD authoring options dwindling, the best options now seem to be all Windows-centric.
