Using Matrox M.Key/100 with Adobe Premiere Pro

If you plug M.Key/100 into a different USB port

After you have installed the M.Key/100 software, it is recommended that you

always use M.Key/100 in the same USB port that you used when you installed

the software. If you plug M.Key/100 into a different USB port, the “Found New

Hardware Wizard” will appear again. You won’t need to re-install the M.Key/100

software, but you’ll need to use the “Found New Hardware Wizard” to install the

required drivers. For each driver, select

Install the software automatically

(Recommended)

, then click Next. Repeat this step until the “Found New

Hardware Wizard” has finished installing all the required drivers.

Using Matrox M.Key/100 with Adobe Premiere

Pro

Matrox M.Key/100 includes project presets for Adobe Premiere Pro that you can

load to immediately apply appropriate settings to create a project using the

Desktop editing mode for working with Matrox .avi files in any supported video

compression format. For example, you can select a preset to create a

1080i @ 29.97 fps project for working with Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame HD files.

°To load a Matrox Desktop project preset:

1 Start Adobe Premiere Pro. The New Project dialog box appears.

2 From the appropriate Matrox Desktop folder (Matrox Desktop - SD to

create an SD project, or

Matrox Desktop - 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 for playing back

DV/DVCAM clips in a standard 4:3 editing environment, expand the

NTSC and Standard folders under Matrox Desktop - SD, then select the

DV preset.

3 Under Location, specify where you want to save the project on your hard

drive.

4 Under Name, specify a name for your project.

5 Click OK to apply the settings.

¦NoteWhen a project uses the Desktop editing mode, Adobe Premiere Pro

works like a VFW program as explained in “Using Matrox M.Key/100 with

VFW programs” on page 5.
