Not reliable at all. Only adding an extra “Levels” effect will give you enough headroom to adjust your colors and still maintain the fidelity of the original. “Broadcast Colors” will diminisch colors in areas/ ranges it should leave untouched.

What about the Color Finesse Plugin is that Broadcast-safe option any better ?

The only way I know to get the ‘best’ bcast safe colors is to be monitoring your AE output window through a framebuffer card like Digital Voodoo or Aja or whatever and then animate levels/hue_saturation while watching a scope. This way you have total control and can really push colors to the edge while still being safe,……it is a wonderful way to work IMHO.

Yes and no. In a way the problem still remains even if you closely watch the scopes and adjust your settings – AE works in RGB whereas most editing systems think in the limited YUV space. All a plugin can do is mimic that behavior, but this is a mere mathematical process and not necessarily represents the needs and calibration of the editing system you are using. So there is always a good chance that even though you did everything right (in the sense of conforming to technical standards), your edit suite still doesn’t handle your colors properly. Trial and error is really the only reliable method and only once you’ve established your particular workflow in >>>your<<< facility everything runs smoothly. Mylenium [Pour Myl
