all the matrox effects require a certain amount of preload time that's determined by the capabilities of your system (both cpu and storage). to ensure the smoothest playback from the adobe premiere timeline, use the following guidelines when setting up your realtime effects:

    . leave a gap of at least two seconds between the end of one matrox particle effect and the start of the next.

   

    . arrange all other matrox effects, cuts, and single-frame graphics on your timeline with a minimum duration of one second between the starting point of each clip.

   

    . if you use two single-frame graphics clips in the same segment (such as by placing one graphics clip on top of another), you??ll need to leave a minimum duration of two seconds between the starting point of these graphics clips and another clip.

   

    remarks

    . if you need to place your clips close together, and your system is reporting dropped frames, you can export the clips from the timeline to an .avi file, then replace the corresponding section on the timeline with your exported file.

    . because of the spacing restrictions for single-frame graphics files, graphics sequences (such as .tga and .bmp sequences) are not supported on matrox rt.x100.
