Installing Adobe Premiere Pro

You must install Adobe Premiere Pro before installing Matrox Axio.utils.

¡ Important You must install Adobe Premiere Pro and Matrox Axio.utils on an

NTFS-formatted drive (usually your system drive).

°To install Adobe Premiere Pro:

1 Close all Windows programs.

2 Insert the Adobe Premiere Pro installation DVD in your DVD-ROM drive.

3 From the displayed menu, choose to install Adobe Premiere Pro. When the

setup program starts, follow the onscreen instructions.

¦NoteWhen you install Matrox Axio.utils, Matrox plug-in files will be added to

your Adobe Premiere Pro’s Plug-ins folder on your hard drive. Therefore, if you

later re-install Adobe Premiere Pro to a different directory, you’ll need to

un-install and re-install Matrox Axio.utils.

Installing other third-party programs

There are a number of programs for which you can choose to install a Matrox

WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) plug-in that lets you see your work

directly on your video monitor. For example, the Matrox WYSIWYG plug-in for

Adobe After Effects lets you display the contents of your composition on your

video monitor to see the exact color temperature, safe-title area, and any

interlaced artifacts as you work. The following programs are supported:

• Adobe After Effects (version 5.0 or later).

• Adobe Photoshop (version 7.0 or later).

• Autodesk 3ds Max (version 7.0 or later).

• Autodesk Combustion (version 4 or later).

• eyeon Fusion (version 4 or later).

• NewTek LightWave 3D (version 7.0 or later).

If you have any of these programs, you should install them now so that you’ll be

able to install the Matrox WYSIWYG plug-in for them when you install Matrox

Axio.utils. You can, however, install the Matrox WYSIWYG plug-in for a

program at any time after installing Axio.utils as explained in the section

“Installing additional Matrox WYSIWYG plug-ins or removing unneeded

plug-ins” on page 56.

¦NoteWhen you install the Matrox WYSIWYG plug-in for a program, Matrox

plug-in files will be added to a folder for that program on your hard drive.

Therefore, if you later re-install the program to a different folder, you’ll need to

also re-install the Matrox WYSIWYG plug-in.
