·Native Adobe Premiere Pro effects and transitions — Some of Adobe Premiere Pro’s most popular native effects and transitions such as Opacity, Crop, Dip to Black, Black and White, Dissolve, and Additive Dissolve can be used in real time in SD. RT.X2 accelerates these effects and transitions in HD.

·Realtime timecode — The RT.X2 platforms overwrite the Adobe Premiere Pro timecode filter so that it becomes realtime. The realtime timecode effect lets you generate and overlay a timecode counter on a video production. You can use it to make a dub of source tapes with timecode "burn-in" then use these tapes to log scenes, create edit decision lists, or get client feedback on your finished production.
