Chapter 5, Using Matrox MXO with Final Cut Pro and Other Supported Programs

Matrox MXO project presets for Final Cut Pro

The Matrox MXO QuickTime video output component for Final Cut Pro 
includes predefined project presets that you can load to immediately apply 
appropriate MXO settings. You can also create a custom Matrox MXO project 
preset for Final Cut Pro.

Loading a Matrox MXO project preset

1

Start Final Cut Pro and choose 

Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup

.

2

From the drop down menu in the 

Easy Setup

 dialog box, select the preset 

that matches the format of your project. For example, if you are working 
with NTSC material, select 

Matrox MXO Uncompressed 8-bit NTSC

.

3

Click 

Setup

 to apply the settings.

Creating a Matrox MXO project preset

1

Start Final Cut Pro and choose 

Final Cut Pro > Audio/Video Settings

.

2

In the 

Audio/Video Settings 

window, select the settings for your new 

MXO project preset.

¡ Important

To be compatible with Matrox MXO, the preset must have 

24-bit 48 kHz audio, and an 

MXO

 setting for both 

Video

 

Playback

 and 

Audio Playback

. The output settings must match your project’s sequence 

settings.

3

In the 

Summary

 pane, click 

Create Easy Setup

.

4

Type a 

Name

 and 

Description

, and then click 

Create

.

5

In the 

Save

 dialog, save the new preset to a location on your computer.

¦

Note

By default, the path is set to 

\Library\Application Support\Final Cut 

Pro System Support\Custom Settings

. If you save your preset somewhere else 

on your computer, the preset will not appear in the Easy Setup list, and may 
be lost if MXO is re-installed.

Specifying your video and audio output device 
settings

The following sections explain how to specify your video and audio output 
device settings for Final Cut Pro, and Adobe After Effects. Many programs share 
similar output device settings as Adobe After Effects, however, you should refer 
to your program’s documentation for more details.

¡ Important

Depending on the application you are using, the MXO video output 

settings that are available may vary. In most cases, both YUV and RGB settings 
will be listed. Video editing applications such as Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro, 
and Motion 2, typically process color using the YUV color space. Therefore, for 
best results when using these programs you should choose an MXO YUV output
