mastering (?) video
I came from the “audio industry”, so I can describe my question with audio, and I hope you can transfer it to the video scene (if it makes any sense).
When I finish a song/spot/material in audio, I use a mastering software or hardware to give the track energy, power, the final touch so this is always the last step before transferring it to the client.
My question is:
Is there any similar method in the world of video?
I’m finished with my first ever TV spot (PAL), and I just don’t know that is it enough to simply render the file, or should I do any further adjustment?Laszlo

Hi there,
in video-land what we usually do instead of maximizing or hyping it, is toning it down.
You’d think that just adding that last bit of extra contrast or sharpness would make the image jump out at you more. And indeed, if you do that, it will look much better on your computer-screen.
But alas: if you do anything like that for video, your image will probably go out of broadcastspec. Or with sharpening it might become more ‘flicker-y’Do a search on broadcast safe colors and you’ll get a lot of good advice of how the last steps in video are to be undertaken.
