Broadcast-safe questions
Ok, here’s a few questions about the broadcast-safe filter.
How important is it to use this? I always adjust the white, black and
all additional graphics to “look good” levels anyway. I mean, if the finished video
looks good (no color bleeding etc) on my TV, is there any reason for applying the filter?And IF I ever would produce something to be broadcasted by a TV-station, don’t they
have capabilities of doing their own brodcast-safe on all material before it’s being televised anyway?I also read somewhere that there is no standard for broadcast-safe. Is this true?

You do not need to use it unless you ever do broadcast something – the Station will require it to be “Safe” and technically correct in other areas as well eg audio levels. They wont do it for you.

So if I want to make my material broadcast-safe; what program should I use? Is the filter found in Premiere Pro a good one?
Magic Bullet’s broadcast safe, maybe? The manual only speaks of making broadcast safe for NTSC though.

Use the PremPro one. I do not think this is a very big issue and the process is only limiting the Chroma to a broadcast safe level.
I never bother with it and I broadcast a lot from DV / PremPro.
