Matrox MX02 with CS6

Hi,
any ideas if the matrox mxo2 works well with cs6, have a chance to buy one loacally for a low price.
I am aware that there has been issues in the past with matrox products, is it still the same.
any other recoemndations for a I/o

The MXO2 mini works far better with CS6 than it has with previous versions, particularly with the recent revised driver.
You should bear in mind that the changes in Premiere have forced the removal of most of the old Matrox effects, and those that remain are no longer RT.
You no longer use proprietary Matrox presets as Premiere now copes with anything you throw at it. I still use the Matrox colour correction as I am used to it, and prefer it to the Adobe effects. Despite not being RT, it plays smoothly on my timeline without rendering, even when I have used Mercalli, scaling, and sharpening as well. This is on a 3930K system, not overclocked, with either 1920x1080p Matrox HD I-frame, or high bitrate Canon AVCHD 1080p.

Speedgrade with Matrox MX02 Mini

Has anyone had success getting SG to display on an external monitor via Matrox MX02 Mini? PP, AE, even PS can output to the monitor via Matrox MX02, but not SG. If I delete the PluginCache64 folder in regedit, it will show up as a display option the next time I launch, but then if I close and relaunch SG, it's no longer an option. Matrox says it should work. Adobe support says it doesn't but maybe in the next version. Anyone got a fix? I am on Windows 7 64-bit. :atest Matrox driver (installed after CC).

Second display works on my MacPro with the Matrox MXO2 mini MAX driver supporting Mavericks and Adobe CC (ver 4.1). Only got external monitor with this recent driver release using current CC versions

CS4 and Matrox MX02 Mini with MAX

CS4 sucks.
Is there some kind of written rule that eac new version has be worse than the previous ?
Why does Adobe keep cutting out the tools and processes we, I, want the most !
Examples;
WHY doe Adobe STILL refuse to put back in stop motion capture ?
Why has Adobe screwed up the whole export thing and made it not only 100 times more complicated, but, also able to do 100 times LESS than it always used to in previous versions ?
BUT, my immediate question is why are my 720x480i exports to MPEG2-DVD m2v repeatedly failing - unknown error ?
- Source File: C:\DOCUME~1\steve\LOCALS~1\Temp\fleming8mmfilms-sd-3_2.prproj
- Output File: C:\Sequence 01.m2v
- Preset Used: Custom
- Video: NTSC, 720x480, 29.97 drop frame [fps], Lower, Quality 5.0

Unknown error.

I didn't sin, but you did by assuming things that are not true.
1/ The project file is on the same drive as the export, BUT, the source files are on a different capture drive than the export to C.
2/ I've been using the Matrox RTX100 with previous versions of Premiere for 7 years, and the two have worked very well together all that time, and still are working very well, and, will continue to I've no doubt. - Just because you couldn't get it to work, does not mean they don't.
3/ The export I refer to did not have any connection to the Matrox box. All Premiere and Encore.
4/ I didn't mention that I had done a lot of successful export tests of various definition formats, to other formats, and including a 1 hour Full HD export, no problems.
So, - there - nyah !

New Matrox MX02 mini not working

Just got a new Matrox MX02 Mini. I'v installed the PCIe card seemingly successfully - it's showing up in the system profiler under "Other Multimedia". I downloaded and installed the software package 2.0 from the Matrox site.
But when I go into Final Cut I get no option for Matrox under Video Playback. And no video or audio is playing through my Matrox (as far as I can tell).
I'm on a Mac Pro running 10.6.4 and Final Cut 6.0.6. Trying to go out from my Matrox HDMI to a Panasonic HD TV monitor and with audio going to external speakers.
Thanks for any help.

Just got my new MXO2 Mini MAX, and it won't even power up. The pci-e card does NOT show up in the System Profiler under PCI cards. I tried the card in two other slots, still not showing up as being seen by the MacPro (2009 Quad Intel). The card also did not show up when installed in our other MacPro (2007 Intel). All cable connections, including power are according to Hoyle. Should I be seeing a light come on inside the MXO2 mini box? As it is now, no light, no life.
I pre-installed the driver, and in System Prefs the Matrox MXO2 mini icon reports: "..video hardware not found." The Product Name, S/N, and Firmware Version are all blank lines. Software version is 2.0.0.
Thanks,
Mark.

Share Function using Matrox MX02mini with FAST

Using MX02 mini with Fast and v1.8 drivers on MacPro 2.66GHz Quad, 7GB RAM having the latest versions of FCP and Snow Leopard plus all updates as at 1st November. Unable to export using the Share function although can export using QT conversion.
When attempting to use the share option the following message appears:
3x NSException raised by 'NSGenericException', reason = 'Hardware communications error with encoders 0xE00002BC (-536870212): open Session'
Is this normal or a known problem. Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Andy,
Whoops! Yes, I meant MAX, must have been an premature 'senior moment'. Anyway, many thanks for your quick response.
My workflow is as follows:
a) Import XDCAM EX clips using File and Transfer
b) Audio Video Settings: Sequence - Matrox MX02,Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) 1088i 50 48K; Capture Preset: As Audio Video Settings; Video Playback: Matrox MX02 Mini 1080 50i YUV 8bit; Audio Playback: Matrox Mini02
c) (Easy setup: Matrox MX02 1080 50i)
d) Sequence settings: for 108050i plus QT Compression: XDCAM EX 1080i 50
e) Render Settings; Apple ProRes 422 for XDCAM - have also tried 'same as sequence codec'
Then to export using Share:
File>Share>(other) Matrox H264 1080 25 for BluRay>Export = FAILURE
The Matrox setting works for Export using QT Conversion and in Compressor.
I hope the above makes sense,
Geoff

Export from CS4 to Matrox MX02 LE to Betacam deck

Hi,
I'm attempting to export a sequence to tape. I think I have all my inputs and outputs set up right but I can't seem to record my sequence onto tape. I have no problem capturing footage from tape but going the other way won't seem to work. I have a Matrox MX02 LE connected to a Sony Betacam deck. Not even sure where to start as far as diagnosing this problem. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin

Well, the first thing is to confirm that you're getting a signal out of the s-video port on the MXO. Plug it directly into a monitor to confirm a signal. If that's not working, it's probably a Matrox MXO panel option or something similar (i vaguely remember in the past that you had to choose between s-video or component out, although that might be not required anymore). If you are getting a signal out, then it's likely a deck setting somewhere.
One thing that trips people up with betacams is that there's an EE mode that allows passthrough so that, if you're monitoring the output of the deck, it'll pass through the input. If that's off (ie PB mode), you'll only see black when you put the deck in record mode.

Print profiles no longer working correctly with CS6 64bit to my Epson R2880

Hi, until recently, my print profiles were working correctly with CS6 64bit (Win 7 ultimate 64) to my Epson R2880, they now print washed out/desaturated but the same profiles still print correctly using Lightroom 4. has there been an update that could have affected things or are there any other suggestion? Thanks, Dave.

Hi,
I hope someone can help!
I recently bought my first Mac, a great MacBook Pro which I love!
I use Lightroom3 and Photoshop CS5 to edit photos and now want to print from my Epson R1800.
I found that the prints initially came off very dark & contrasty, so I calibrated both the MBP screen and my Samsung SuncMaster 245B monitor with my Spyder2 and the Colorvision software.
Even after establishing colour profiles for both screens, the printed image was still far darker and "heavier" than that shown on screen. This was the same whether printing from LR3 or from the Mac Preview app (it was worth trying I thought!).
So searching for help on the web I came across this thread and now wonder whether I should uninstall my driver (6.57) and reinstall the printer with 6.23.
Stephen did you find that this worked - did PS CS5 behave after that?
Of course I'm trying to print some work soon and in desperation could adjust every (edited) image by brightening & reducing contrast, however with dozens to print it seems crazy to do that, not to mention wrong!
Thanks for any help!

I'm using a pc, (windows 8.1,) and I cannot get a thick and thin line with CS6. None of the brush tool settings have any effect, even in the preview. Is there a setting I need because I'm using a pc?

I'm using a pc, (windows 8.1,) and I cannot get a thick and thin line with CS6. I want to draw, but I cannot get any linework like I should. I also use Sketchbook Pro, and ToonBoom, and I get wonderful linework. But not with Photoshop.
None of the brush tool settings have any effect, even in the preview. Is there a setting I need because I'm using a pc and not a mac?

Thanks for your response,
I'm using a Fujitsu T901 laptop, with a stylus pen. Painting works great in Photoshop, but for drawing there is no sensitivity at all. Frans Vischer

Creative Cloud desktop app won't sync with CS6 applications

I am running a Windows 7 64bit machine. I had been running CS6 and CC, but had developed a wide range of problems. With the assistance of Adobe technical support I removed all Adobe software from my pc.
My plan was to do a clean install of CS6, apply all of the updates, and then decide if I wanted to continue with the full CC subscription before installing any CC software. The initial install went fine, as did a whole bunch of upgrades. Along the way Adobe upgraded the Adobe Application Manager to the desktop Creative Cloud app.
Within Creative Cloud it showed an update to Photoshop CS6 (something to do with a Creative Cloud version 13.1.2). So I clicked on update and got an error message and the advice to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop CS6. I followed the advice. I then started Photoshop CS6 and selected the Help -> Updates option. It launched the Adobe Application Manager and I was able to install the update. So now I think everything is good with CS6 installed and up to date, and no CC software has been installed aside from the desktop app.
BUT when I run the Creative Cloud desktop app it still show that there is an update for Photoshop CS6! Clicking on the update button generates a message that the update failed due to a download error.
So my problem is how do I get the CC app in sync with my actual CS6 applications?
My second question is do I need to uninstall AAM to preclude this happening in the future (and if so, how)?

Then it would appear the updates have been applied successfully. You may want to try implementing solution 2 of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

Problem with Adobe Acobat that came with CS6

Sad that one cannot seem to get FREE support for what really appears to be an adobe problem. Periodically i download a reader update. The Adobe Acrobat that came with CS6 quits working. I have to uninstall and reinstall. Why? Seems like when you have both program on a computer it is a problem. Reader is so much faster to load for reading, vs Acrobat for doing hard core work. Why is there this problem on PC versions?

The support issue is not worth the time to address. Adobe has always been this way, does not appear to plan to change, and yet has one of the best forums I have seen. That is why a lot of us ended up here and continue to try to help others.
As to Acrobat and Reader, it was something like AA X and AR X that first let both be installed without problems. When you say AA ? quit working it is not clear what you mean. Can you open it? Can you print to the Adobe PDF printer? I suspect the answer is yes to both of these. In that case, it is the fact that you installed Reader after Acrobat that it is staying resident and grabbing things you think should open in Acrobat. If you want Acrobat to open fast, then hold down the shift key while you open the file (could be the alt or ctrl key, but think it is shift) to disable the addons that take the time for the load.
In windows, if you want to open a PDF from explorer, you can right click and select whether to use Reader or Acrobat. Also, there is typically no need to do an uninstall and reinstall, but simply do a repair (from help>repair).

Help opening RAW on MAC with CS6

I can not open RAW files from my D90 in CS6 on my MAC. I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." I downloaded the 7.3 Raw update and still get it and am getting when I try to open any type of photo. I am new to MAC and CS6 so it could just be me. I used CS5 on a Windows PC for 3 years and never had trouble. Thank you!!

The D90 is supported by all versions of ACR that run with CS6.
Your image files could be damaged. This can be the case if you used the Nikon Transfer to copy the files from the card to your computer, as the Nikon utility is known for corrupting the image files on the Mac.
Use either the Finder or the Bridge Photo Download to copy the image files from the card to your computer—I hope you still have the originals on the card.
BTW, it's Mac for Macintosh, not "MAC".

How does one transfer CS5 actions for use with CS6?

CS6 installation, which was uneventful, has transferred none of my actions from my copy of CS5. The CS5 actions are located in the actions folder of the APPLICATION/PHOTOSHOP CS5/PRESETS/ACTIONS. The "actions" folder in application support/adobe in my library is empty, and has always been so.
Only the CS6 default actions are located in the same folder for CS6.
I use imac i7, lion.
Note that i also have CS3 and CS4 on my machine. This due to recent upgrade to CS5 and recent upgrade to LION, and my general paranoia.
Must i load each action into CS6, one at a time?
thanks to any and all.
vince

Re: how does one transfer CS5 actions for use with CS6?
On a Mac - There are multiple ways to do this. I have done them both ways. In order to do this you need to know where you have your actions stored, and you can move them all at once if you have them stored in the same location.
1. You can load an action ONE AT TIME into your actions palette by:
     A. Open up the action palette and click on the little arrow with 4 little horizontal lines next to it on the upper right corner of the actions palette.
     B. Select "Load Actions" and a Finder window will open up and you can search your computer through this window for your actions.
     C. Click on the action from the Finder window then click 'Open' at the bottom right of the finder window.
     D. To save these so that they appear every time you open up your actions palette, go back to the little arrow at the top right of the actions palette and when the drop down window opens- click on 'Save Actions'. It will select the location where the          actions are currently stored as the place to save them. If you want to change that path, you can do it at this time in the little path window. I just leave it, since I keep all my actions stored in the same file.
2. TO MOVE MULTIPLE ACTION SETS AT ONCE
     A. Open up CS6 (or CS5) and move the Photoshop workspace it to the right side of your computer screen so you can see your desktop on the left side.
     B. Open up your Finder search window from your dock (the square blue head icon thingy for those who are new to photoshop). Move this to the left side of your screen so you can see the Photoshop work space on the right and the Finder window          on the left. In the Finder window, navigate to the file where all your actions are stored, select all the actions in the file (command+A will select everything in the file if you are actively inside the open file) or you can select multiple files           individually by continuously holding down the command key and clicking on the different actions you want to move.
     C. With the Photoshop workspace visible on the right, and the actions palette open so you can see that the actions actually transferred - In the Finder window, click the selected actions you want to load and drag them over to the Photoshop           workspace. I did this without an image open, I just dragged them onto the empty workspace. The actions should all appear immediately in the actions palette that is open.
     D. To save these so that they appear every time you open up your actions palette, go back to the little arrow at the top right of the actions palette and when the drop down window opens click on 'Save Actions'. It will select the location where the           actions are stored as the place to save them. If you want to change that path, you can do it at this time in the little path window. I just leave it, since I keep all my actions stored in the same file.
I hope this helps.
and I hope there are no typos.

Sound plays through Matrox MX02 instead of Komplete Audio 6 USB Device =(

In Adobe Premire Pro CC I can't use my NI Komplete Audio 6 usb device for playback. Instead sound always comes out of my Matrox MX02 when I'm scrubbing or playing.
Under Preferences -> Audio Hardware -> Default Device I have selected Komplete Audio 6. When I hit ASIO settings it brings up the expected Komplete Audio 6 Control Panel.
Under Preferences -> Playback -> Audio Device I see options for Adobe DV, Adobe Desktop Audio, and Matrox Player but no Komplete Audio 6.
My system is a custom built Windows7 PC. Any advice on getting sound out of my Komplete Audio 6 instead of the Matrox MX02 would be much appreciated!

the komplete audio 6 seems more problematic than expected.
Preferences -> Audio Hardware -> Default Device -> Premiere Pro WDM Sound causes stuttery playback. I've tried enabling/disableing "Device 32-bit Playback" under ASIO settings and I've also ensured that the buffer size (256 samples) is the same as in my Komplete Audio 6 Control Panel.
Preferences -> Audio Hardware -> Default Device -> Komplete Audio 6 audio playback is fine but if I alt-tab away from PPCS6 the application will freeze as I describe in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5412540#5412540 ...
I'm running the latest driver/control pannel from Native Instruments (3.1.0) and the latest firmware has been flashed to the Komplete Audio 6 (45).

Will matrox mx02 be recognized by adobe connect

Will matrox mx02 be recognized by Adobe Connect. I presently use a Canopus ADVC110 but would like to go up to a hi-def camera due to client pressure. TX

For a video input to work the OS of your computer must recognize it as a 'web cam'. You may need to use the DVdriver (free to try, $20 to buy) software, if on a Windows PC.
Keep in mind that the Video pod of Connect does not support HD video. So the video quality you see in the room will likely not improve by using the new device. The video in the Video pod can be set to 240P or 480P.
