Rendering material to a Matrox VFW .avi file
$
Chroma filtering and Chroma interpolation Select these options to
adjust the chroma bandwidth of RGB graphics. This improves images that
have abrupt changes between different colors, such as a blue box on a
black or white background. You should select these options for most
animation and compositing work (computer-generated material). For most
video editing programs, however, it’s best that you
not select these
options. If you find that your rendered images appear to be blurred, try
clearing one or both of these options.
3 Click OK to save your settings. Any change you make to your selected
luminance range setting (such as switching from Standard to Expanded )
will only take effect the next time you start your VFW program.
Rendering material to a Matrox VFW .avi file
When you render material to an .avi file, such as when you render a finished
composition or an animation, you must select the compressor (codec) you want
to create the file. The compressor determines the quality of your rendered video.
Refer to your program’s documentation for instructions on how to select a
compressor for your
.avi file.
If you want to export material from Adobe Premiere Pro to a Matrox .avi file, it’s
recommended that you use the Matrox AVI export format as explained in
“Exporting to a Matrox .avi file” on page 85 .
