Encore: Frameserving From Adobe Premiere Pro
 In this video tutorial, Creative Cow Leader Jeff Bellune guides you on a trip from Adobe Premiere Pro to Adobe Encore using the Debugmode Frameserver plug-in. Adobe Encore CS4 added a new feature that allowed a live Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 sequence to be added to an Encore DVD or Blu-ray project. But what about Encore version CS3 or earlier?
