your PC, install main board again and restart the PC.

CHAPTER
For Premiere Pro, do not select "Automatic" setting. You need

5
to restart your PC after changing the buffer size. Be sure to
save your data before making any changes to the buffer size.
In general, capturing Reference AVIs in Premiere Pro is

APPENDIX
not recommended, because Movie Capture captures to a
temporary file first, then copies the AVI to the location you
specify. The copied AVI still references the temporary file,
which will cause problems when Premiere Pro eventually
overwrites the temporary file with a new capture.
If you have the need to capture Reference AVIs in Premiere
Pro, make sure you don't manually capture anything in Movie
Capture while the option is selected. Use Batch Capture
instead.

59
 Editing in Premiere Pro
With the Canopus real-time plug-ins for Premiere Pro, you can edit Canopus DV/AVI
clips and still images and titles that Premiere Pro supports in real-time using the Canopus
transitions and filters.

To utilize the real-time power of your system, you need to use special Canopus transitions
and filters. Standard Premiere Pro transitions and filters as well as third-party transitions
and filters will need to be rendered.

To Add Transitions
1 Choose a transition which is under "Video Transitions" > "Canopus
3D-RT-3D" folder from the "Effects" tab in the "Project" window.

2 Drag the transition you selected and drop it onto a clip located on the
timeline.

3 Click on the transition you inserted. The "Monitor" window opens with
the "Effect Controls" tab selected.

60
4 Click [Custom] in the tab to bring up the transition settings. In the
custom settings dialog which will appear, you may change default
settings and options to arrange the transition. Any additional
transitions can be installed for using Premiere Pro, which can be done

 Key Frame Control

The Key Frame control allows the user to control the 3D PinP over the duration of the
clip. There are 4 main areas to the Key Frame controls.
- [1] Timeline and position controls.
- [2] Interpolation Controls.
Describes how the video behaves between key frames.
- [3] Timeline
Indicated settings applied to each key frame.
- [4] Timeline indicator
The position of this indicator shows where the key frame will be positioned.

Working with Key Frames

1 Select the frame on the timeline that you wish to define the properties
of, this is a key frame. Be sure to think about when you would like the
transition to start.

2 Adjust the properties of the key frame for that particular point by
using the Control options described below. This is the first key frame.
Property changes will be reflected in 3 (Key Frame details).

3 Key Frames are most effective in groups (1-X key frames available), the
Key Frame sequence needs an in and out point. We have now defined
the “In” Key Frame in steps 1 and 2 .

4 Define the out key frame by repeating steps 1 and 2 .

5 The next step is to define how the effect progresses between these
or any two key frames. This is controlled at point 2 of the Key Frame
Control - Interpolation. Interpolation describes the mathematical
calculation used to move between key frames. There are three choices:

Only changes at key frames.

Constant:
- Indicated by no line between key frames.

Changes between key frames occur on a linear path.

Linear:
- Indicated by darkened area line between key frames.

68
 Changes according to a poly function depending on the
number of key frames (i.e. 2 Frames = x2 Function)
Spline:
When applying interpolation, settings will only take effect
on the row selected, in between 2 key frames.

5 Click [OK] to apply the Canopus Title Motion to Premiere Pro titles -
even if you simply use the Cut motions.
Having the filter applied will reduce the CPU load for displaying Premiere Pro titles. It
also makes it easy to precisely control in and out effects.

You can also apply multiple title motion filters to one title. For example, you can combine
a Slide Left with a Slide Up to have a diagonal up-left slide in. Use the title motion filter
with In and Out times set to half the length of the clip and Motions set to the same Slide
effect for real-time scrolling titles. You can also apply the Canopus Title Motion Filter to
video clips to give them exciting in and out effects.

72
Playing the Timeline
The timeline will play back in real-time as long as you aren't using non-real-time filters
or transitions, and you are not exceeding the real-time power of your system. The amount

SUMMARY
you can do in real-time depends mainly on your CPU power and the individual limitations
of your editing system. Your playback ability also depends on the playback settings you
have enabled.

 Playback Buffer and Non-Real-Time Effects
About the Playback Buffer
The buffer counter can be enabled in the "Playback Settings" dialog (see Playback
settings at the previous section). The playback buffer allows the system to play back in
real-time through short areas that have more effects than could normally be handled.

As the duration of the "overloaded" area increases, the playback buffer gets depleted.
When this counter runs out, the system is no longer able to process in real-time and
frames get dropped (or playback stops).

The playback buffer gets replenished as the system goes through areas that have enough
CPU power to process. You can also start playback with the playback buffer pre-filled
by holding down the [Shift] key and clicking the Play button on the target side of the
"Monitor" window.

The default size of the playback buffer is 1 second. However, if you have 192MB or
more, you can increase the size of the playback buffer in the Detailed Settings of the
EDIUS DVX Properties.

Non-Real-Time Effects
Some non-real-time effects can be played back in real-time, depending on the situation.

Non-real-time effects playback uses the playback buffer described above to do the
processing. Thus, there must be a sufficient amount of time for the effect to render on-the-
fly, enough time between effects for the playback buffer to "recharge," and effects cannot
be too long in duration.

74
Timeline Output
You can output your timeline to a DV device directly from Premiere Pro using Premiere

Canopus DV Capture
 1 Canopus DV Capture
Canopus DV Capture
This is a DV capture application for DV capture via general IEEE1394 boards and for
simultaneous capture with the EDIUS DVX unit. You can connect at most 3 cameras for
capturing images. With this application, you can capture 3 images simultaneously from
two cameras connected to the IEEE1394 boards and one camera connected to the EDIUS
DVX unit.

The application also has a function for dividing input automatically into separate files,
which works by detecting breaks in DV timecode sequences. Three streams can only be
achieved with a EDIUS DVX unit, and 2 IEEE1394 boards (OHCI cards) present (please
refer to the below table).

Limitations
The following limitations apply due to limitations in Windows specifications.
- When multiple DV devices are connected to a general IEEE1394 board (OHCI card),
the devices may not be recognized and may not operate normally. In some cases,
these problems can be avoided if you power on the DV devices, connect them to the
computer, and then power the computer on. Capture operation has been found to be
unstable when 3 or more DV devices are connected to an IEEE1394 board at the same
