Using Matrox RTMac with
Adobe After Effects and
Discreet combustion
This chapter explains how to configure Adobe
After Effects and Discreet combustion for use with
Matrox RTMac.
Overview
Matrox RTMac lets you display your work in Adobe After Effects (version 5.5 or later) or
Discreet combustion (version 2.1 or later) on your NTSC or PAL video monitor. This lets
you see the exact color temperature, safe-title area, and any interlaced artifacts as you work.
¦ Note The speed at which RTMac outputs your After Effects or combustion material is
system-dependent and can vary. The display on your NTSC or PAL monitor will not be at full
frame rate, even on a faster system.
When you install the Matrox RTMac software, the RTMac software for Adobe After Effects
and Discreet combustion is also installed. In order to use RTMac with these applications, you
must first configure them as explained in the following sections.
