Chapter 4, Setting Up Realtime Effects with Adobe Premiere Pro
Available effects
The Matrox realtime plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro lets you:
• Set up spectacular realtime Matrox effects and transitions. The plug-in
includes color corrections, chroma keys, luma keys, 3D DVEs, page curls,
shadows, and many more effects.
¦
Note
Certain effects will be available only if you have a display card that
supports the Matrox hardware-accelerated effects. For more information, see
“Enabling and disabling the Matrox hardware-accelerated effects in Adobe
Premiere Pro”
.
• Change various effect settings, and add or modify keyframes to customize
your effects.
• Transform and crop your realtime effects.
• Create realtime graphics overlays using single-frame graphics files with an
alpha-key channel.
• Set up certain Adobe Premiere Pro effects in real time, including fades
(Video Opacity), DVEs (Motion), Black & White, Timecode, and Garbage
Matte effects.
• Apply realtime speed changes to video clips.
• Set up many Adobe Premiere Pro transitions in real time when using SD
video, or accelerate many Adobe Premiere Pro transitions when using HD
video.
• Use and modify clips that have Matrox Flex CPU effects applied to them
interchangeably between Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects. For
example, you can apply a Matrox color correction to your clip in Adobe
Premiere Pro and import that clip into Adobe After Effects and vice versa.
The effect will remain intact, and can be modified in both applications.
Realtime means that you can play back and record your effects onto tape without
having to render them. This gives you creative freedom to experiment with
different effects and change your mind as often as you want. You’ll instantly see
the changes you make on your video monitor. Effects in Adobe Premiere Pro
other than those listed above are not realtime, and therefore require rendering.
For guidelines on setting up your realtime effects, see

When you install Matrox Mx.tools, all the Matrox effects are added to Adobe
Premiere Pro, and the Matrox Flex CPU effects are added to Adobe After Effects.
You set up Matrox effects in your productions the same way as other effects
included with your Adobe software. For example, you apply a Matrox transition
to your clips in Adobe Premiere Pro just as you would any other type of
