Working with Adobe Premiere Pro
You can use Adobe Premiere Pro to play back and output video and audio using
Matrox MXO2. To capture using Matrox MXO2, use the Matrox Vetura Capture
application (see Chapter 11, “Using Matrox Vetura Capture and Vetura
Playback”). For a list of the supported video output formats for the MXO2 main
and SD channels, and the supported video formats for the MXO2 outputs, see
Appendix D, “Matrox MXO2 Supported Output Formats.”
Creating a new Matrox MXO2 project
The MXO2 video output plug-in for Premiere Pro includes Matrox presets that
you can use to quickly set up your project. The Matrox presets set the editing
mode to
Matrox Player. This allows you to output your video and audio using
your MXO2 outputs.
1 Start Adobe Premiere Pro and click the New Project icon. The New
Project
window appears. You can leave all the settings on the General pane
at the default settings. For details on changing these settings, see your Adobe
Premiere Pro documentation.
2 On the Scratch Disks pane, use the Browse button to select an appropriate
A/V drive for each scratch disk type. When specifying the location of your
scratch disks, make sure you follow the recommendations in your Adobe
Premiere Pro documentation. For example, store your video and audio files
on a separate hard drive dedicated to your media assets.
