Here are some Premiere Pro and Encore documents and Tutorials... A mix of old (back to CS5) and new for CC (even for the old ones, most of the basics are the same)
.
There is a bit of overlap, since one discussion will often branch off to more discussions, but after you have read something once, you should be able to quickly skip it when a link turns up in another discussion
.
First, some information on project and computer setup
.
For CS5 and later, the easy way to insure that your video and your project match
-See 2nd post for picture of NEW ITEM process http://forums.adobe.com/message/3776153
-and a video http://tv.adobe.com/watch/digital-video-cs5/drag-to-new-sequence-function-in-premiere-pro/
-And a FAQ on sequence setting http://forums.adobe.com/message/3804341
.
When your project sequence is correct, you will not see a red line over your timeline at first import, before you do anything to the video
http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2011/02/red-yellow-and-green-render-bars.html
If you have a red line over the timeline after importing a video and before adding any effects... your project is wrong for your video
.
What CUDA does http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2011/02/cuda-mercury-playback-engine-and-adobe- premiere-pro.html
If your nVidia card has at least 1Gig of video ram, use the nVidia HACK http://forums.adobe.com/thread/629557 - which is a simple entry in a "supported cards" file
-or simply rename or move the file, according to some messages
-and the Mac version at http://www.vidmuze.com/how-to-enable-gpu-cuda-in-adobe-cs6-for-mac/

Updated for CC 2014 Installing Premiere CC & Encore CS6 « DAV's TechTable
Updated for CC 2014 More on Installing PPro/Encore CS6 http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/encore-cs6-installed-cc.html
-And even more on installing CS6 using the Cloud http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1424117?tstart=0
-and if you have problems http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1448716?tstart=0
-be sure to follow ALL instructions, including ALL of the download instructions
-that are contained in the site link INSIDE the link above, or you will not get
-ALL of the Encore content (download PPro/Encore and then TWO more downloads)
.
You will then have (for Windows)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\Library
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\Library\Corporate
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\Library\Education
...and so on for all of the folders
.
Please NOTE that you do not NEED to uninstall Premiere Pro CS6 (as indicated in some discussions) unless you have a space problem... CS6 programs will sit quietly on your hard drive while you use CC programs... and if you ever have a problem with Encore CS6 activation, you will only have to reinstall Premiere Pro CS6 to reactivate Encore CS6... and some people have reported problems with trying to uninstall only Premiere Pro CS6 while keeping Encore CS6 active
