Chapter 3, Setting Up Realtime Effects with Adobe Premiere Pro

General rule

The general rule to follow to avoid the red indicator bar when setting up your

realtime effects is that in any given segment, you can use up to two video clips

(.avi files), and up to four single-frame graphics clips.

Each clip in the segment can have a fade applied to it. A fade can be any one of

the following:

• Opacity changes applied to a clip, such as by adjusting the Opacity handles

of a clip.

• An Adobe Premiere Pro Cross Dissolve.

• An alpha-keyed graphics clip.

Combining effects

In any given segment, you can apply the following RT.X effects in real time:

• 1 color correction effect, and

• 1 chroma key or luma key effect, or 1 additional color correction effect, and

• 2 speed changes, and

• at least 1 Matrox hardware-accelerated effect (such as a page curl or a

Premiere Pro realtime transition). You may be able to combine more than 1

Matrox hardware-accelerated effect in your segment in real time, depending

on the type and complexity of the effects (excluding Matrox effects based on

pattern files).

¦NoteCertain complex Matrox effects, such as particles, may not be realtime

when applied to a segment containing multiple graphics clips.

Order of effects

The order in which you apply your RT.X effects is important when you combine

effects. When applying multiple RT.X effects to a segment, follow this order:

1 Color correction effect(s).

2 Chroma key, luma key, or Matrox hardware-accelerated effect.

For example, you can apply a page curl to a color correction and not require

rendering. If, however, you apply a color correction to a page curl, the clip will

require rendering (unless you change the order of the effects).

¦NoteIf this order is not followed, you’ll still be able to preview your segment

with XtremePreview.

To change the order of effects applied to a particular clip, you can drag and drop

effects in Premiere Pro’s

Effect Controls window. In the following example,

1 2 ... 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 ... 71 72
