Using Matrox M.Key/100 with VFW programs
Using Matrox M.Key/100 with VFW programs
When using VFW programs to render material to an .avi file, such as in the case
of a completed video production or an animation, you can use a Matrox codec to
create a Matrox .avi file. For example, you may want to render an animation to
Matrox DV/DVCAM format so that you can record it onto DV tape. You could
also use your VFW program to render video to a Matrox .avi file so that you can
import the file as a realtime clip into your Adobe Premiere Pro projects on
Matrox Axio.

When rendering compositions or animations that have an alpha channel, you can
select a “+ Alpha” Matrox VFW codec to render to a Matrox uncompressed or
MPEG-2 .avi file that includes the alpha-key information. This .avi file will play
back in real time on your Axio system, and will be automatically keyed when you
place the clip in your Adobe Premiere Pro sequence.

Although Matrox has tested many VFW programs, there may be certain
operational limitations when using Matrox M.Key/100 with some of these
programs (as well as with untested programs).

Before you start rendering
Before you start rendering material to a Matrox .avi file, make the following
settings in your Video for Windows program:
