    Walter is spot on…

    But if the nature if your business leaves you little time for Color or rendering Broadcast Safe filters, the Harris legalizer mentioned earlier is a great investment. You’ll use it all the time and you’ll never have to sweat a QC report (if you set it up right).

    Of course, ideally, you should properly correct and grade
    ..a legalizer won’t make your image look any better.

    One easy way to use Color…..

    Export a self contained movie of your timeline.

    Send THAT to Color and set up the Broadcast Safe appropriately.

    Render out, and send back to FCP.

    This way you’re just using Color for Broadcast Safe and not for color correction if you don’t want to use it for that.

    Phew!!! 695 British pounds is a $%^&load of dough for a filter that works in an app that costs about $1000 US.

    [Sarah Bright] ” I wanted to know if there was a RELIABLE broadcast safe filter (PAL) that can be used in FCP 7??”
    FC’s Broadcast Safe filter works great.
    Set it to “Very Conservative” and you will be Broadcast safe in any PAL network around the world.
    Don’t the RGB limiter of the Broadcast Safe filter. Use the stand alone RGB

    Broadcast Safe alone will not clip the chroma (saturation) or the blacks of any clip. It only clips off the highlights.

    [walter biscardi] “Broadcast Safe alone will not clip the chroma (saturation”
    The Broadcast Safe has not a real Chroma control.
    When it says “Custom SATURATION limit”, is not limiting any Chroma but the COMPOSITE SIGNAL.
    You can pull more Luma or Chroma to bring that “Composite” level down.

    [walter biscardi] “or the blacks of any clip”
    The “RGB Limit” (stand alone filter) does.

    Hey Walter,

    I’m revisiting an old project from FCP7 and prepping masters for broadcast… It was colored and made broadcast safe in Resolve, but we had to add in a couple shots. I thought I’d just quickly apply a couple filters in FCP for those new shots. I remember you had two filters you used to get the job done that way. Do you happen to remember what they were and what the settings were?

    THANKS MUCH!!!

    Tom
