As a video editor, your goal is to complete the greatest number of projects with the highest production values, in the shortest possible time and have fun doing it! Editing is more productive and more enjoyable when your editing system lets you see the results of your edit decisions immediately, when you have complete creative control; when you avoid rendering!

Matrox RT2500 lets you work with two video streams plus a graphics/title track, all at the same time, with maximum creative freedom.

You get over 1000 realtime, broadcast-quality 2D and 3D digital video effects and transitions including page curls, organic wipes, particle effects, distortions, 3D tiles, and 2D and 3D DVEs with customizable drop shadows, soft edges and colour borders.
You can even use key-frames to size position and rotate your clips in real time to get exactly the look you want. Over 60 of Adobe Premiere's native transitions can also be used in real time.

If you're into effects, the RT2500, with its vast repertoire of dazzling realtime transitions and filters, is definitely the editing platform for you. But even if you prefer a more conservative look, you can still save countless hours of rendering thanks to RT2500's true three-layer realtime editing architecture and its essential realtime capabilities. You're sure to find many uses for realtime transparency and title preview, as well as realtime keyframeable cropping, picture-in-picture and colour/ brightness/contrast controls for image correction.
