Chapter 3, Defining Your Adobe Premiere Pro Settings
A note about running other programs with
Adobe Premiere Pro
For the best performance, you shouldn’t run any other programs at the same time
as Adobe Premiere Pro. If you choose to do so, however, make sure that you start
Adobe Premiere Pro and open your Matrox RT.X2 project before starting the
other programs. Otherwise, Adobe Premiere Pro may fail to start. If this happens,
quit all programs and then restart Adobe Premiere Pro.
¥ Tip When Adobe Premiere Pro is running, you can monitor your Adobe
Premiere Pro memory usage. To do this, hold your mouse pointer over the
Matrox X.info (
) icon. For details on using Matrox X.info, see Chapter 7,
“Monitoring Your Matrox RT.X2 System .”
Setting your system’s volume levels

you’ve set appropriate recording and playback volume levels for your system as
follows:

Devices .
¥ Tip If you don’t see the speaker icon, right-click the Windows taskbar and
choose Properties , click the Notification Area tab, select Volume , and
click OK .
2 From the list of available devices, double-click the device that you want to
use with your Matrox RT.X2 system.

card via the RT.X2 breakout box, you must mute the input to avoid hearing
the audio when you’re not working in Premiere Pro.
