Broadcast Specs
Hello,
I have made a full length animation that has a logo to a TV spot we do. The logo has the color green with an RGB value of B5FF00. I have no way to check the levels of the color in illustrator or After Effects, but when it was brought into an editor it was over 100 IRE. I brought the color down, but it looks so bad that I dont like the green anymore. Its an HD animation that will be broadcast. Is there a way to get a saturated green that doesnt look dark or like its been left out in the sun all day?Thank you.

you’re looking to change an illegal broadcast chroma without it turning ugly. Use a smart interpolater like color finesse or red giant broadcast. There might be a free way to do it and creative cow had something about checking it so I’m sure the tutorial talks about fixing it.

adjustment layer-color correction->levels effect, input black 16 input white 235, ouput black 16 output white 235,
yea, I watched the tutorial…I’ll compare results someday… -
another question I have is this. If I am working with HDV and my Graphics are FULL HD for this HD show, and we are mastering to HDV when the project is completed. We then send the product to the channel that broadcasts it and they convert it to SD so they can broadcast it, do I need to follow an NTSC broadcast color scheme? They will also use the HDV to broadcast it in HD on direct TV as well.
