  Posting Broadcast Video and more!

  Posted by Casey Baugess on September 18, 2009 at 4:23 pm

  Hey everyone,

  Just a couple general questions for you professionals.

  Here’s what I’m running (If it’s relevant):
  Mac 8-core 2.8ghz
  6gigs ram
  Final Cut Pro 7
  After Effects CS4
  AJA kona LS card

  I have a couple clients now asking me to post their tv spots so they can have the tv stations download them for broadcast, as opposed to sending them a beta sp tape. I have always preferred to send a tape, but the download factor is a time saver.

  What are the drawbacks to doing this? What video codec is recommended? And does it have to be 720×486 or is 720×480 ok for broadcast?

  Thanks in advance!

  Casey

  Many of the stations I deal with have given me different specs for what they want – most are QT or mpeg-2. You will be best checking with the stations you deal with.
