Chapter 5, Defining Your Adobe Premiere Settings

Selecting your realtime effect settings

You can specify default cropping settings for your realtime Matrox effects, as

well as select which Premiere transitions you’d like to play back in real time. For

example, all of the Matrox transitions are realtime, whereas Adobe Premiere’s

transitions require rendering. With the Matrox realtime plug-in, however, you can

select which Adobe Premiere transitions you’d like to play back in real time.

°To select your realtime effect settings:

1 Choose Project > Project Settings > General.

2 Click the Advanced Settings button, then click the Realtime Effects tab.

3 Under Default Cropping for Matrox Effects, select Enable cropping and

specify in pixels the default cropping values that you want to be applied each

time you create an effect using the Matrox realtime plug-in. For example, if

garbage video or black lines appear at the left and right edges of your video,

you’ll want to crop these edges so that they’re not visible in your effects. Be

aware that your new crop settings will be applied only to subsequent clips

you add to the Timeline (that is, clips already on the Timeline won’t be

affected).

Remarks

$ Unless you need cropping to be applied to your clips, make sure that Enable

cropping

is not selected. This improves system performance.

$ If you’ve applied cropping, make sure you apply the same cropping settings

when you perform a Premiere export to disk on your Matrox RT.X100

Xtreme system (see “Performing a Premiere export to disk” on page 64).

If your project and export cropping settings don’t match, incorrect cropping

will be applied to your Timeline immediately after completing the export.

To restore the correct settings, save your project, then quit and restart

Premiere.
