Chapter 8, Defining Your Adobe Premiere Pro Settings
A note about running other programs with
Adobe Premiere Pro
For the best performance, you shouldn’t run any other programs at the same time
as Adobe Premiere Pro. If you choose to do so, however, make sure that you start
Adobe Premiere Pro and open your Matrox Axio project before starting the other
programs. Otherwise, Adobe Premiere Pro may fail to start. If this happens, quit
all programs and then restart Adobe Premiere Pro.
¥Tip When Adobe Premiere Pro is running, you can monitor your Adobe
Premiere Pro memory usage. To do this, hold your mouse pointer over the
Matrox X.info ( ) icon. For details on using Matrox X.info, see Chapter 12,
“Monitoring Your Matrox Axio System.”
Loading project presets
The Matrox realtime plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro includes project presets that
you can load to immediately apply appropriate Matrox Axio settings. For more
information about using the Matrox project presets for working with different
types of projects, see Appendix B, “Matrox Axio Workflows.”
°To load a Matrox project preset:
1 Start Adobe Premiere Pro and click the New Project icon. The New
Project
dialog box appears.
2 From the appropriate Matrox folder (Matrox - SD to create an SD project,
or
Matrox - HD to create an HD project), select the preset that matches the
type of project you want to create. For example, if you want to create an
NTSC project in which you’ll capture clips to DV/DVCAM format and work
in a standard 4:3 editing environment, expand the
NTSC and Standard
folders under
Matrox - SD, then select the DV preset.
¦NoteIf you’ll be capturing HDV material, select the appropriate Matrox
preset for your HDV footage, such as the
Matrox 1440x1080i 29.97 fps HDV
preset if your footage was shot in Sony 1080/60i format, or the
Matrox 1440x1080i 25 fps HDV preset if your footage was shot in Sony
1080/50i format.
3 From the Location list, select where you want to save the project on your
A/V drive.
4 In the Name box, specify a name for your project.
5 Click OK to apply the settings.
