Tips and techniques

This section provides tutorials to help you get more out of your Matrox Axio system.

The tutorials illustrate features of Matrox Axio you may not be aware of such as how to create certain special effects.

Performing a realtime color match
This tutorial shows you how to use color matching to create shot-to-shot continuity by ensuring skin tones, backgrounds, or objects look the same from cut to cut.

Creating your own custom shapes for use with the Matrox Axio mask effects
To create a mask pattern (.gfx file) that can be used with the Matrox mask effects on Matrox Axio, you simply create a .tga file of your shape, run it through our application to convert it to a .gfx file, and then place that .gfx file in the appropriate folder for use with the Matrox mask effects.
