A note about running other programs with
Adobe Premiere Pro
For the best performance, don’t run any other programs at the same time as
Adobe Premiere Pro. Screen savers and programs that use a large amount of
system memory, such as most paint and compositing applications, can cause
problems if you run them at the same time as Adobe Premiere Pro.
Loading project presets
TheMatrox realtime plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro includes project presets that
you can load to immediately apply appropriate RT.X settings.
°To load a Matrox RT.X project preset:
1 Start Adobe Premiere Pro. The New Project dialog box appears.
2 From the Matrox DV folder, select the preset that matches the type of
project you want to create. For example, if you want to capture clips to
DV/DVCAM format and work in a standard 4:3 editing environment, choose
Matrox DV and DVCAM Standard.
3 Under Location, specify where you want to save the project on your A/V
drive.

5 Click OK to apply the settings.
¦NoteYour video source is not automatically selected for you when you choose
