adobe premiere lets you export video from the timeline to a single dv/dvcam .avi file for purposes such as distribution on cd-rom and publishing on the web.

    several software codecs are included with adobe premiere so that you can export your video to different formats. your matrox rt.x10 system adds the matrox dv/dvcam codec to the ones included with premiere. because the matrox codec uses your rt.x10 hardware to accelerate rendering, it can export video much faster than when you use a software codec.

    to export your timeline to a dv/dvcam .avi file on matrox rt.x10:

    1 choose file ] export timeline ] movie, then click the settings button.

    2 from the file type list, make sure that matrox rt.x is selected.

    3 from the menu at the top of the dialog box, select video.

    4 from the frame rate list, select 29.97 if you have an ntsc system, or 25 if you have a pal or secam system.

    5 from the pixel aspect ratio list, select the setting that matches the aspect ratio of the material you're editing:

    d1/dv ntsc (0.9) for ntsc material that uses the standard tv screen format.

    d1/dv ntsc widescreen 16:9 (1.2) for ntsc material that uses the widescreen 16:9 format.

    d1/dv pal (1.067) for pal material that uses the standard tv screen format.

    d1/dv pal widescreen 16:9 (1.422) for pal material that uses the widescreen 16:9 format.

    6 it's recommended that you do not select recompress. this retains the quality of your video. it also optimizes the speed of the export because realtime segments that have no effects will be copied directly to disk without recompression.

    7 click ok to save your export settings.

    exported audio will be saved as a separate .wav file in the same folder as your .avi file.
