Styles palette
Easily apply styles to your DVD project menus using the new Styles palette. Use the supplied styles or create your own by simply dragging them from the Menu Editor.

Menu Editor enhancements
Take advantage of full support for Photoshop CS guides to ensure precise layout and alignment of items in the Menu Editor.

User operations control
Disable or enable the viewer's remote control operations in specific sections of a DVD-for example, to ensure display of mandatory content such as copyright notices.

Square and non-square pixel support
Check the shape and alignment of items by identifying and viewing square and non-square pixels. Full support for Photoshop CS, including the ability to view non-square pixels, further enhances your workflow.

Unparalleled Adobe integration

Native Photoshop menus
Import native Photoshop CS files or create menus in PSD format directly within Adobe Encore. Buttons, text, and images are stored as layers and layer sets so you can edit them later in Photoshop.

Adobe Photoshop CS integration
Edit menus in Photoshop CS and see your changes immediately in Adobe Encore. Experience full support for Photoshop CS, including nested layer sets and non-square pixels.

Enhanced marker support
Experience a stronger integrated workflow - Adobe Encore now creates chapter points from markers in AVI and MPEG-2 files created in Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 and After Effects 6.5.

Enhanced Adobe After Effects integration
Send a PSD menu directly to After Effects for animation, export your animation from After Effects to Adobe Encore as a movie file, and then add it to your menu background for a stunning motion menu.

Edit Original command
Send content originally created in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects back to those applications for further editing. Once the content is updated, the changes will automatically appear in Adobe Encore.
