    Hi guys I have a video that I have just finished editing for a friend he wanted a youtube version hd and one to show on tv. I just exported it in the setting for youtube after following some online advice but how do I give him a quicktime file for tv? The sequence is 1920×1080 25p although its on an interlaced timeline 1080i I can deinterlace that on export.

    Do I output as h264? Ive seen HDV 1080 25p but isnt that to export to tape? And should sound be 48 instead of 44 which I did for youtube?

    Regards

    Jay

    It depends on the TV station. You need to contact them and they will give you the criteria for submitting a spot. For example, in SLC one station will take ProRess while another will not, they want a Final Cut Pro Quicktime movie. Best of luck.

    Why did you rendered interlaced for YouTube?
    Things for the Web must be progressive.
    Whatever thing that you had animated may show interlacing artifacts.

    Broadcast TV is interlaced. Most common delivery format is digi beta for SD and HDCam or HDCam Sr for HD. They may take a file but as Stephen says, ask for format details.

    Your sequence should be 1080 50i. If you don’t have a Kona/Matrox/Declink I/O card then you might need to send a file to a facility for transfer to tape if that is what is required. That file is likely to be ProRes 1920 x 1080 50i if the facility can handle that format, but again you will need to liase.

    H264 is not common in broadcast and it is highly compressed so it isn’t an editing or interchange format either. It is a web delivery format and increasingly a camera original format.

    Many broadcasters transmit mpeg2 from transport streams with muxed audio. If that is what is required then Compressor can likely handle the deliverables.
