  • How do a ready a project for broadcast?

    Posted by David Del on September 1, 2008 at 9:01 pm

    I am working on a project – stills using the 2.5D camera. The stills are 1440 X 1080. Now I am assuming I will have to work on the colour so it is broadcast ready, so that is my first task (I assume). Any pointers would be great on this 1st time broadcast.

    Thanks

    type the word “broadcast” into your effects and presets text box and it will give you an effect called “broadcast colors”

    Ok thanks.
    Is there anything else you can think of before I have to send it off?

    hm, well, just to checklist some stuff i guess you’d wanna check all title/action safe and make sure you’re exporting NTSC DV Codec (the standard animation codec isn’t necessary for broadcast too large anyway)

    i always find that i can cheat my titles a bit past the title safe but i am also working with a Television set hooked up to my computer, so you could try it but use caution if you can’t preview it on a tv

    if you’re HD broadcast, you’d be upper field and 1920×1080i pixels 16 or 32 bit, just in case…
    but don’t worry, most mid-level hdtv’s downconvert to a smaller 1366 x 768 from hd.
    although AE’s built in broadcast color changer may leave some weird colors, so be careful and maybe try the broadcast tutorial that uses the levels function that just chops off the high and low ends of the brightness.

    I am not using chroma keying on this one – just cuts out from photoshop using the 2.5 camera in AE.
    Ok, I will try AE first and see what happens. What render settings are going to be best as well?
