broadcast workflow
Hi
IM working on a 30sec add for broadcast(pal) and have been given H.264 footage to work with.
I was advised to convert this to pro res in compressor which I have done.
I have to put on titles and txt in motion and then output to a file to be put on digibeta for TV broadcast.
What would be the best workflow?
export my pro res to motion and back and then export from fcp in pro res also?
The broadcast specs specify SD PAL I believe,
so should I simply set up motion as Broadcast DV?
I need obviousley the graphics to be as sharp as possible which I struggle with, Ive tried in the past to export as animation which looks great on the mac but when burnt to DVD looks terribly jittery.
thanks

If you are to deliver your final in DigiBeta SD Pal, I would not create a motion project with Broadcast DV. You should use the Pal Broadcast SD option.
If you have a sequence that is Pal using Pro Res, then send your project to Motion using the Pal Broadcst SD Preset. Make your titles and overlays and save the motion project. When you return to FCP, your timeline with have the .motn project in your sequence. Render the sequence and then do an edit to tape, if you have the capabilities, otherwise do an export to uncompressed 8-bit Pal 48 kHz. This should give you what you need.
