your realtime effects and other realtime segments will be rendered in real time.
non-realtime effects, however, will not be rendered in real time. in this case, do a project preview by choosing timeline ] preview, or by pressing enter. you can then proceed with a realtime export to disk.
if you want to export to a dv/dvcam .avi file and your timeline contains mostly cuts, you should use adobe premiere's export movie feature. this is because realtime segments that have no effects will be copied directly to disk without recompression (that is, faster than realtime), assuming that you do not select recompress, as explained on page 53.
on most systems, you'll be able to perform a realtime export to disk. some systems, however, may have problems with realtime export, such as gray blocks or system sluggishness. for up-to-date information about recommended computer systems and motherboards, please see the rt.x customer support section of our web site at www.matrox.com/videoweb/support.
to export your timeline to disk in real time:1 choose file ] export timeline ] matrox realtime export to disk.
2 from the range list, select work area to export a selected area of the timeline, or select entire timeline to export your entire timeline.
3 from the format list, select dv/dvcam (.avi) to export to a dv/dvcam .avi file, or mpeg-2 ibp (.m2v) to export to an mpeg-2 elementary (.m2v) file.
if you choose to export to an .m2v file, click the configure button to select your mpeg-2 ibp settings as described in the next section.
4 from the audio list, select uncompressed (.wav) to export audio with your video, or no audio to export video only.
5 beside file name, click browse, then specify a drive, folder, and file name for the file(s) you're exporting. to avoid having dropped frames in your exported video, you must export to an a/v drive that's different from the one you use to store your project's clips.
6 click ok to begin the realtime export to disk.
