your Timeline that don’t appear when you subsequently scrub on the

Timeline. For details, see “Switching between scrubbing types” on page 46.

7 Under Error Reporting, select Report dropped frames if you want to be

warned each time frames are dropped when you play back video from the

Timeline. Otherwise, clear this option.

¦NoteOnce playback of the Timeline has stopped, a red bar will appear over

segments of the Timeline that have dropped frames (even if you don’t select

Report dropped frames). To perform a Matrox realtime export to disk or

export to DV tape, you must first render the segments identified by the red bar.

If you close your project before rendering, the red bar won’t re-appear when

you re-open the project.

8 Under Speed Change Processing, select how realtime speed changes are

to be processed.

Blend fields typically works well on standard and

slow-paced video, and

Repeat fields typically works well on fast-action

video. For details, see “Selecting your speed control method” on page 47.

9 Click OK to save your settings and return to the Project Settings dialog

box. You can specify additional General settings as explained in your Adobe

Premiere User Guide.

Selecting your NTSC setup level for analog

video

Most commercial DV cameras that have a 1394 interface follow the Japanese

specification for analog NTSC video, where the black level (setup) is 0 IRE. The

standard setup level for analog NTSC video in North America, however, is

7.5 IRE.

The black level used for the digital bit stream is the same for both Japanese and

North American video equipment. This means that when you capture DV video

over the 1394 interface on Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme, the video is captured at the

correct black level. When you play back the captured clips on your NTSC

monitor, however, you may find that the video appears too bright or colors appear

to be washed out. This is because the default setup level for the analog output of

Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme is 7.5 IRE, whereas your DV camera’s analog output

uses the Japanese setup level of 0 IRE.
