Chapter 6, Setting Up Realtime Effects with Adobe Premiere
Page Curls appears after Matrox Color Corrections. Therefore, the clip will
remain realtime:
If you want to use Premiere’s virtual clip feature to combine RT.X effects, you
must respect the following priority sequence when applying the effects:
1 Color correction effect(s).
2 Chroma key or luma key.
3 Matrox hardware-accelerated effect (such as a page curl, advanced DVE, or
Premiere realtime transition).
For example, if your virtual clip includes a chroma key effect, you can apply a
Matrox page curl effect to the clip and it won’t require rendering. If, however,
you apply a chroma key effect to a virtual clip that includes a page curl effect,
you’ll have to render the clip. For information on creating virtual clips, see your
Adobe Premiere User Guide.
Restrictions
If you follow the rules listed above, your effects will remain realtime. You will,
however, need to render your effects when you do any of the following:
• Select Force render when you set up an effect in the Matrox Effect Setup
dialog box (see page 86).
• Perform a Matrox realtime export to disk or DV tape of a segment that has
dropped frames.
• Place effects or clips too close on the Timeline, as explained in the section
“How to place your effects to avoid rendering” on page 81.
• Use a graphics roll, crawl, or animation (only single-frame graphics are
supported in real time).
• Apply a Matrox chroma key, luma key, or color correction to a graphics clip.
• Add a non-Matrox effect or transition, such as an Adobe Premiere video
effect or non-realtime transition. For details on selecting which Adobe
Premiere transitions you want to play back in real time, see “Selecting your
realtime effect settings” on page 52.
