• Batch encoding in the background—Save time with Adobe Media Encoder, a separate included software application that automates the process of creating multiple encoded versions of your source files and sequences. Manage priorities and control advanced settings for individual files.


• Dynamic workflow with other Adobe tools—Achieve a high level of productivity from production to delivery with the tightly integrated toolset in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Eliminate intermediate rendering when moving sequences into Encore CS4, and take advantage of new support for Photoshop files with video and blend modes.


• Direct-to-disk recording with cross-platform, redesigned Adobe OnLocation CS4—Get critical monitoring information while you record directly to disk with Adobe OnLocation CS4, now cross-platform with a new Adobe-standard interface. Save time and take the tedium out of logging with shot lists and metadata-based project intelligence.


• End-to-end metadata workflow—Easily add metadata to clips both on set with Adobe OnLocation and while editing using Adobe Premiere Pro, for greater project intelligence.
