Adobe Encore is great for creating DVD and Bluray disks. However, there is no Encore in the new Adobe Creative Cloud. You have to download the old CS6 version separately. Here’s how to get Adobe Encore CS6… legally. First, you need be a paid subscriber of Adobe CC. Open Creative Cloud on your desktop. Select the Apps tab. Scroll down to “FIND ADDITIONAL APPS”. From the drop down options, click on ” VIEW PREVIOUS VERSIONS”. Scroll down till you see Premiere Pro. Click on the Install button. Select CS6. Premiere Pro CS6 will install with additional update steps. Encore is installed only when you install Premiere Pro CS6. You may uninstall Premiere Pro CS6 and leave behind Encore CS6.

What is the difference between Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro CC? I got a few people asking me this in the last 7 days. Well, the quick answer, Premiere Pro CC is the latest version of Premiere Pro. CC stands for Creative Cloud. The previous version is called the Premiere Pro CS6, CS stands for Creative Suite. One thing you must know, though, the CC version is subscription-based. That means you have to pay monthly. S$26 per month for Premiere Pro alone. Or S$66 per month for the whole suite of Adobe software. I am paying the S$66 per month subscription. Why? I get every software I need for video editing. Software like After Effects, Audition, and Photoshop. At S$66, I also get useful software for graphics creation, PDF editing, and the whole lot of Adobe stuff. A subscription also means, if we stop paying, the program stops working. How do they know? Adobe makes us sign in online once in a while. We can install on many computers, but can only use two at one time. Adobe will ...

2 new cameras were introduced at the start of the year. I highly recommend them, based on specifications, for now. The Announcement Panasonic introduced the release of several digital cameras. Out of these many new gadgets, are two that suits our needs. Videographers will love the Panasonic GH5 and the FZ2500. The #1 Feature: No 30-minute limit They can record video continuously beyond the 30-minute limit. Yes, that limit that is built into all mirrorless and DSLR cameras. And yes, the 2 new Panasonics are mirrorless “Photography” cameras. That means we can now shoot great videos and photos in one device.
