DESCRIPTION
The Adobe Premiere 4.2 MMX technology plug-ins enable Premiere 
to take advantage of high-performance MMX technology. Specific 
performance gains depend upon the clock speed of your computer, 
the codec you are using in Premiere, the kind of action you are 
performing, and the complexity of the video or audio with which 
you are working. For more information, see the list of 
accelerated tasks and components at the end of this file.

NOTE: Install these plug-ins only if you are running Adobe 
Premiere 4.2 for Windows and your computer has a Pentium 
processor with MMX technology. These plug-ins are not supported 
by Adobe Premiere 4.0, 4.0 LE, or 4.2 LE.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Adobe Premiere 4.2 for Windows

HANDLING NOTES
After downloading a ".exe" file in Windows, double-click on the 
".exe" file to access the file's contents.

INSTALLATION NOTES
To install the MMX technology plug-ins:
1.  Quit Adobe Premiere 4.2.
2.  Copy the Fl-rippl.prm, Fl-invrt.prm, Fl-impan.prm, and 
Bn-fstcr.prn files into the Plug-ins folder in the Adobe 
Premiere 4.2 folder, replacing any existing files with the same 
names.
3.  Restart Adobe Premiere. 

ADDITIONAL NOTES
Performance gains on operations accelerated for MMX technology 
can range from 5-1200%. The performance gains when rendering a 
movie can vary greatly, and will depend largely on the codec 
used for the source and destination media.

To realize the best performance in Adobe Premiere, use the 
fastest codec available. Because codecs themselves do not take 
advantage of MMX technology, a slow codec can make overall 
performance gains appear negligible. For more information on 
codecs, see the Adobe Premiere User Guide included with Adobe 
Premiere 4.2.
