Broadcast Safe Adjustment Layer
I’m doing a project and this spec is part of the requirements
“An adjustment layer must be used to make the final Broadcast Safe. Blacks must be set to 16 and whites to 236 (from 0 to 255 RGB).”
Which filter would I use for this?
Also, do you read this as that filter on every layer or to the entire comp (or does it matter?)
Thanks.

Put an adjustment layer on the top of your final render comp and apply levels and set blacks to 16 and whites to 235 (not 236!) Also check colour saturation – try broadcast safe colours effect to see if it keys out any illegal colours.

To clarify, set your output blacks to 16 and your output whites to 235. The Adjustment Layer at the top of the stack will apply this to all of the underlying layers (which is what you want).

Also, a good idea is to add a directional blur, 0 degrees and 0.5 pixel to this final adjustment layer. it takes away any flimmer in diagonal lines or text.
