Chapter 8, Defining Your Adobe Premiere Pro Settings

9 Under Premiere Pro Accelerated Effects, you can select various options

for your realtime/accelerated Premiere Pro effects. For example, you can

choose to disable certain features and specify how you want your Motion

effects to be processed. For details, see “Selecting options for accelerated

Premiere Pro effects” on page 78.

10 Under Realtime Indicator Threshold, drag the slider to set the threshold at

which Matrox Axio determines that a segment in the

Timeline panel is

realtime. Drag to the left to set a lower (safer) threshold, or to the right to set

a higher (more aggressive) threshold. For example, if you find that Matrox

Axio does not identify any segments as being non-realtime (that is, with a

red bar) and you have dropped frames when you export your project to tape,

you can set a safer threshold to force more segments to require rendering and

avoid having dropped frames. Alternately, if you find that some segments are

identified with a red bar but they don’t have dropped frames, you can set a

more aggressive threshold.

11 Under Audio Conform/Waveform File Creation, indicate whether or not

you want audio conform and .pek (waveform) files to be created when you

import clips to your project:

$ Create audio conform and PEK files Creates both audio conform and

.pek files.

$ Create PEK files Creates only the .pek files (audio conform files won’t

be created).

You can clear either one or both of these options to indicate that you don’t

want audio conform and/or .pek files to be created for clips imported into your

project (files may still be created for certain types of clips). This provides faster

editing of your project immediately after importing clips because resources

aren’t being used for the file generation. However, because Premiere Pro needs

the .pek files to draw the audio waveforms for your clips, you won’t see the

waveforms in the

Timeline panel.

Remarks

$ For any change to these options to take effect, you’ll need to restart Premiere

Pro and open your project again.

$ Depending on the content of your project, choosing not to create audio

conform files may cause dropped frames.

$ If you choose to create only audio .pek files and then you later select Create

audio conform and PEK files

, the audio conform files may not be created

for all your clips, even though Premiere Pro will display a message that

audio conforming is being performed. To solve this issue you’ll need to

save your project, quit Premiere Pro, and delete all the .pek files for your

project (located in the \Media Cache Files folder). The next time you start
