For several years I have worked in Sony Vegas Pro and am a recent convert to Adobe Creative Cloud. Mostly what I do are videos of our travels. In Vegas Pro, I would prepare a separate file for each location of our trip, and then in Sony DVD Architect Pro I would create a top-level first page and enter a menu link for each location we visited and place the corresponding file for that location into menu item. I have spent the last couple of months preparing videos of a trip we took in December 2011, one file for each location using Premiere Pro. The learning curve for Premiere Pro was itself fairly daunting, but now I've been trying to learn how to put those files into a menu-based DVD using Encore. All the tutorials on Encore and Premiere Pro (and After Effects) that I've seen do not seem to work the way I'm used to working. It appears that when you're preparing a video of a multi-location trip, in these apps you just assemble all the locations (files) on one timeline in Premiere Pro and then in Encore or Premiere Pro, you enter chapter markers that separate the entire project into separate menu items. Is this correct? If it is correct, is there any way for me now to take these separate files that I've spent months preparing and place them into one timeline in Premiere Pro so that I can then enter chapter markers to separate them into separate menu items? Help!! I sincerely hope I haven't wasted several months of work because I didn't understand how different Adobe is from Sony.
