Using Adobe Premiere Pro or Media Encoder
This section details how to specify the Matrox MAX H.264 compression settings
in Adobe Premiere Pro and Media Encoder for delivering QuickTime files for the
web, and for use with Apple TV, iPad, iPod, iPhone, and other QuickTime-based
devices. The encoded file’s extension will be .mov.
The Matrox MAX H.264 component for Premiere Pro and Media Encoder
includes predefined Matrox MAX H.264 presets that you can use to immediately
apply appropriate compression settings for delivering H.264 files. For most
deliverables, you can use one of the predefined Matrox MAX H.264 presets (see
“Assigning a Matrox MAX H.264 preset” on page 141). However, if you require
a custom setting, see “Creating a custom Matrox MAX H.264 preset” on
page 141.
