Hi Joe,
You’ll probably have better luck posting Matrox issues to the Matrox forum, lots of experts there.
Try this – set the graphics display of the PC to “Horizontal Span” rather than “Extended desktop” and see if that helps, this is an old Matrox trick that helps with RT.X2 hardware.

Hi Brian,
If you simply delete the video clip under the title, or turn Opacity all the way down on video clip, the titles will then have a black background. Or you can use File > New > Black Video to make a black clip and put that beneath your title track to hide anything else on lower tracks.
In the titler itself, you could create a black rectangle to fill the screen and therefore have a solid title slate with built-in background. Many options

Hi Warren,
I rarely use Multicam and am not in front of Premiere right now to test anything, but here’s my idea for what it’s worth – from the edited timeline with your master audio edits, export a .wav file of the whole thing, creating a “Master audio” clip. Bring that new .wav file into the MultiCam sequence on Audio 1. Hope it works for you

Ditto, the Western Digital WDTV device at under $100 is awesome, just encode to H.264 and play through the device using your USB drive

Right-click the clip and select UNLINK. Then, click in an area of the timeline so as to deselect the clip, then you can delete the audio and/or move audio and video clips independent of one another

Hi Fred,
That’s a pretty deep response. I am in no way, shape or form a video engineer, but I’ve been editing a good long time and have NEVER seen the words “N10/SMPTE” in print before and had to Google it. I found this on the Cow –

In my experience with Matrox NLE hardware over the years, they’ve had an “Analog Setup” option that could be either 0 or 7.5 IRE (0 default). While the US standard is 7.5, all Japanese-made camcorders shoot at 0 IRE, so 0 has always been the recommendation (for DV sourced material) when video is output/previewed via analog from NLE.
Setting to 7.5 would wash out the blacks on the analog preview, fooling the editor into color correcting to compensate (when in reality the signal was fine to start with, and would’ve looked good as output to DVD or back to DV tape).
My recommendation will be to try the Beta 0 setting, then try the 7.5 and see if the blacks look noisy or washed out. I bet you’re happier with the 0 setting

Expanding on Vince’s post, “adjust the footage” would mean use the Adobe Motion “scale” parameter to resize the video.
If “scale to frame” is enabled in your preferences, you may find it better to turn that off before importing HD clips, then they will show full size (larger than frame) and you actually scale the clip DOWN to fit the 4:3 frame, quality may come out higher that way than using scale to frame and then scaling UP to fill screen.

I’ve been using this method for years, works every time. Only difference is I’ve never done step one, I just Import and the “default” frame rate must have been correct.
At Import, make SURE that you only select the FIRST FRAME, don’t select ALL the stills. Click first one, then the Numbered Stills checkbox, and OK. You should then have ONE clip imported that you can put on the timeline

Do a web search for “webvideocap”, I’ve been using this program and it works good for .flv files, haven’t tried it on Facebook though. You may also need to download a shareware program to convert the .flv to .avi or similar editable format.
