How to place your effects to avoid rendering

All the Matrox effects require a certain amount of preload time that’s determined

by the capabilities of your system (both CPU and storage). To keep your effects

realtime, use the following guidelines when setting up your effects:

• Leave a gap of at least two seconds between the end of one Matrox particle

effect and the start of the next.

¦NoteThe Matrox distortion effect (available as an add-on from your RT.X

installation CD) requires a gap of at least one second between the end of one

distortion effect and the beginning of the next.

• Arrange all other Matrox effects, cuts, and single-frame graphics on your

Timeline with a minimum duration of one second between the starting point

of each clip.
