Working with Adobe Premiere Pro
$ Control Track Select this if you want to use only your tape’s control
track as the time source. Because using the control track is not as reliable
as LTC or VITC for device control, you should select this option only if
you’re having problems using the time code on your tape.
6 From the Time Base list, select the time base that matches your tape, such as
30 fps Drop Frame if you’re using NTSC video with drop frame time code,
or
25 fps if you’re using PAL video.
7 If required, in the Playback Offset box, specify the number of frames to
offset the playback of your sequence for export to tape. For example, if
playback starts too late and the first three frames are black on the tape, enter
an offset of -3. Alternately, if playback starts too early and the first three
frames of your sequence are missing, enter an offset of 3.
8 Click OK to save your Matrox device control settings.
9 Click OK to save your settings in the Preferences dialog.
For details on specifying your capture settings in Premiere Pro, see “Defining
your capture settings” on page 86. For details on capturing with device control,
see your Adobe Premiere Pro documentation. For information about exporting
your sequence to tape, see “Exporting your sequence to tape” on page 103.
Exporting your sequence to tape
To export your Adobe Premiere Pro sequence to tape without using device
control, simply play back your sequence and record the output from any of the
available outputs on your MXO2 system. If your recorder supports RS-422
device control, you can export your sequence to tape using Matrox device control
as explained in “Exporting to tape using Matrox device control (CC)” on
page 103 or “Exporting to tape using Matrox device control (CS6)” on page 104.
Exporting to tape using Matrox device control (CC)
¦NoteThe following procedure applies to Adobe Premiere Pro CC only. If
you’re using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, see “Exporting to tape using Matrox
device control (CS6)” on page 104.
You can record your sequence onto tape using Matrox device control in Adobe
Premiere Pro CC as follows:
1 Open your project, and set your playback settings as described in “Defining
your playback settings” on page 84.
2 Make sure that you’ve properly connected your RS-422 recorder and
configured Matrox device control as explained in “Setting up Matrox device
control” on page 101.
3 Activate the sequence that you want to export to tape, and position the work
area bar over the section of the sequence that you want to export.
