RT.X100 Xtreme Pro realtime rules
• You may notice a small video and audio glitch when your Timeline starts or
completes playing certain segments when using the render-play feature.
• The render-play feature does not support shuttling or reverse playback of
clips.
• Previewing a clip in the
Matrox Effect Setup dialog box always uses the
Preview all effects XtremePreview mode. You can, however, manually
preview only the current source for the effect you are editing by clicking the
Solo Mode button. When using solo mode, you can ALT+drag the
Positioner to see the segment with all applied effects.
RT.X100 Xtreme Pro realtime rules
In your Adobe Premiere Pro projects, you can use various combinations of
realtime Matrox RT.X CPU-based effects, hardware-accelerated effects, and
Adobe Premiere Pro realtime transitions and fixed effects, all with transparency.
¦NoteRealtime means that you won’t need to render the segment on the
Timeline to perform a Matrox realtime export to disk or export to DV tape (that
is, there is no red indicator bar above the segment). You’ll still be able to preview
segments that require rendering, as explained in “What is XtremePreview?” on
page 52.
The Matrox CPU-based effects are color corrections, chroma keys, luma keys,
and speed changes applied to a clip. The CPU-based effects can be applied only
to video clips in real time. The Matrox hardware-accelerated effects are all the
other RT.X effects (such as page curls, particles, Premiere Pro realtime
transitions, and fades). The hardware-accelerated effects can be applied to video
or graphics clips in real time.
¦NoteThis section explains the rules and guidelines you’ll need to follow in
order to keep your effects realtime, assuming that you’re using a recommended
system, as explained in the Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme Pro Release Notes.
Supported graphics formats
All full-screen single-frame graphics supported by Adobe Premiere Pro are
supported in real time on a Matrox RT.X system. This includes all titling formats
that Premiere Pro supports, such as Adobe Title Designer .prtl files. For details
on the supported formats, see your Adobe Premiere Pro User Guide.
¥Tip With XtremePreview, you can pan or zoom larger than full-screen graphics
clips, and preview the results in real time.
