Chapter 8, Using Matrox MXO2 with Adobe Premiere Pro

¦NoteThis chapter provides instructions for using Adobe Premiere Pro CC and

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. When an operation is different between the CC and

CS6 versions, the version is displayed after the operation as (CC) or (CS6).

Screen shots of the Premiere Pro dialog boxes are for the CC version only. Dialog

boxes in the CS6 version may be slightly different.

Running antivirus software with Adobe

Premiere Pro

To avoid having dropped frames or other performance issues when working with

Adobe Premiere Pro, make sure that you disable any antivirus scanning of files

while running Premiere Pro. If possible, schedule your antivirus scanning at a

time when you’re not using Premiere Pro, such as overnight or on the weekend.

Displaying warnings in Adobe Premiere Pro’s

Events panel

Matrox MXO2 uses Adobe Premiere Pro’s Events panel to issue certain error

messages and warnings. To display these, choose

Window > Events. For more

information about using the

Events panel, see your Adobe Premiere Pro

documentation.

Creating a new Adobe Premiere Pro project

Creating a new Adobe Premiere Pro project involves specifying the location of

your scratch disks and selecting a sequence preset.

°To create a new project:

1 Start Adobe Premiere Pro and click New Project. The New Project dialog

box appears. You can leave all the settings on the

General pane at the default

settings. For details on changing these settings, see your Adobe Premiere Pro

documentation.

2 Click the Scratch Disks tab, and use the Browse button to select an

appropriate A/V drive for each scratch disk type. When specifying the

location of your scratch disks, make sure you follow the recommendations in

your Adobe Premiere Pro documentation. For example, store your video and

audio files on a separate hard drive dedicated to your media assets.

¥Tip Specifying the same scratch disk settings for all your projects will help

shorten the amount of time it takes to open new or existing projects.

3 From the Location list, select where you want to save your project.

4 In the Name box, specify a name for your project.

5 Click OK to save your settings.
