Chapter 3, Setting Up Realtime Effects with Adobe Premiere Pro
How to apply a Matrox video transition in
Adobe Premiere Pro
In Adobe Premiere Pro, all of the video transitions can be found in the Video
Transitions
bin. By default, the Matrox transitions are found in the Matrox
folder.
An easy way to create a Matrox transition is to drag the current-time indicator to
the point where two clips meet, then drag the desired effect from the
Video
Transitions
bin in the Effects window to the edit point between the two clips. To
set up your Matrox transition, click the transition’s icon on the Timeline, then
click the
Custom button under your transition in the Effect Controls window.
This opens the
Matrox Effect Setup dialog box.
¦NoteBecause Premiere Pro allows you to apply a transition on any track of the
Timeline, you may not always get the desired result when applying a Matrox
transition to a single clip when there is another clip on a track beneath it. The
result may be that the segment is not realtime (such as with a Matrox particle
transition), or that the transition doesn’t display correctly (such as with a Matrox
page curl transition). In these cases, you should apply a Matrox video effect
instead of a transition. Make sure that you apply Matrox transitions between clips
on the same track.
How to apply a Matrox video effect in Adobe
Premiere Pro
The Matrox realtime plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro allows you to apply many
realtime video effects to your clips. To apply a Matrox video effect to a clip, drag
the desired effect from the
Video Effects bin in the Effects window onto the clip
on the Timeline. By default, the Matrox video effects are found in the
Matrox
folder.
To set up your Matrox video effect, click the
Setup button ( ) beside your
effect in the
Effect Controls window. This opens the Matrox Effect Setup
dialog box.
¥Tip If you can’t see the Effects window, choose Window > Effects. If you
can’t see the
Effect Controls window, choose Window > Effect Controls.
