Chapter 4, Using the VS4Recorder Pro Application
Working with editing applications
You can use the VS4Recorder Pro video and audio files in your favorite editing
application for post-event editing. However, VS4Recorder Pro embedded
metadata, such as timecode and label, is supported in Adobe Premiere Pro (and
other Adobe applications, such as Adobe Bridge) CC and CS6. For more
information, see “Viewing VS4Recorder Pro metadata in Adobe Premiere Pro" in
this section.
Working with MPEG-2 I-frame .avi files on a Windows system requires that the
Matrox Video for Windows (VFW) software codecs be installed. The VFW
software codecs are automatically installed along with your Matrox VS4
software. If you plan on working with MPEG-2 I-frame .avi files on a Windows
system without Matrox VS4, MXO2, CompressHD, Mojito MAX, or Mojito 4K
hardware, you must download and install the Matrox VFW codecs on that
system.
To work with MPEG-2 I-frame .avi files on a Mac OS system without Matrox
MXO2, CompressHD, or Mojito MAX hardware, you must download and install
the MPEG-2 I-frame codec on that system. To download the Matrox VFW
software codecs (Windows) or MPEG-2 I-frame codec (Mac OS), visit the
Support section of our website at www.matrox.com/video/support.
When using VS4Recorder Pro video and audio files for multi-camera editing,
realtime performance is supported only for MPEG-2 I-frame .avi files in Adobe
Premiere Pro CC and CS6 on a Windows system with Matrox VS4, MXO2,
Mojito MAX, or Mojito 4K hardware installed. For more information, see
“Multi-camera editing" in this section.
¦NoteMPEG-2 I-frame .avi files are not supported in Avid editing applications
on Windows systems.
Viewing VS4Recorder Pro metadata in Adobe
Premiere Pro
VS4Recorder Pro metadata can be viewed in Adobe applications such as
Premiere Pro CC and CS6. The VS4Recorder Pro embeds metadata, such as the
timecode, session name and label in every recorded video file. The table below
lists the embedded metadata, and shows the associated metadata property in
Premiere Pro CC and CS6.
