Matrox is pleased to announce that over the past few months we have been monitoring our user forums and have been working on resolving the top issues raised in our user community. We feel that these concerns have been addressed with the release of Hotfix 2 for Matrox X.tools build 6122 and Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5.
Hotfix 2 for use with Matrox X.tools build 6122
(February 11, 2005)
Note This hotfix includes all fixes provided with Hotfix 1 for use with Matrox X.tools build 6122.
The main features provided by this hotfix are:
• Several opacity issues with effects have been resolved.
• Increased performance when playing back the timeline, scrubbing, and performing realtime exports to disk or tape.
• Issues while working with Adobe Photoshop (.psd) files have been resolved.
• Improvements to network editing. You are no longer required to map network drives to edit video and graphics files in real time over a network when using the Matrox RT.X hardware.
• You will no longer receive a "Bit rate too high" message when using Adobe Encore DVD with .m2v files that you export from the timeline with sequence markers. This issue is resolved for files exported on a system with this hotfix only. The warning message will still be issued when working with previously created .m2v files.
Notes
• This hotfix is required if you want to install Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. It has been validated and approved for use on a Windows XP system with Service Pack 1 or Service
Pack 2.
• To uninstall this hotfix, you'll have to uninstall and then re-install Matrox X.tools build 6122.
We are also please to announce that Matrox has two exciting new effects to add to our already extensive library of realtime Flex 3D effects for Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme Pro - Matrox MaskBlur and Matrox Bulge.
New effects
Mask Blur
The realtime mask blur effect lets you create a "region of interest" by adding a mask and applying blurring to it. You can either create your own custom made mask, or select one of the many pre-created masks included with the effect. Xtreme Pro drivers required (Matrox X.tools build 6122 with Hotfix 2 for use with Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5).
Here are just a few comments about the new realtime mask blur effect from some of our users:
What a great effect.
The effect as it is now -- simply AWESOME -- one of the best RT filters we have.
Mask Blur is a GREAT effect. Just LOVED it. Thanks for making this possible. It's an amazing time saver and a very useful effect.
Thanks, pretty good jobs guys, this is one of the most useful effects I ever seen. Sure George and Chris will love this for weddings. Simply outstanding!!! Subtle and powerful toy.
Bulge
The realtime bulge effect allows you to make a circular region of your video stand out by distorting it using a "bubble" shape. This effect is ideal to emphasize text or create funny-looking faces. The bulge effect can be fully customized, with support for cropping and 3D transform. Xtreme Pro drivers required (Matrox X.tools build 6122 for use with Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5).
