Naw, Don’t miss it at all-not the way it is now- I worked during the golden age of promotion- went to Promax/BPME and CBS conference every year- had great production budgets, lots of perks etc- Working for myself is a dream come true.

Well, i never recorded to tape- most stations accept spots via FTP sites now so I simply encoded as a Quick Time but converted it to NTSC with a 16 X 9 aspect ratio- that’s how it’s running.

Hi Dave-I was a Promotion manager for years at WCSC-TV in Charleston and at WMAR-TV in Baltimore-been doing my own thing for 10 years now. The whole downconverting thing is confusing as well-I have a Kona Card and use it to down-convert to tape-works well.

OK, I just uploaded a spot that I shot in HD 720 30fps and converted for airing on local TV.

Hey thanks for the response- I’m gradually dragging info out of the TV Stations- many have no idea what I’m talking about but I’ve been following up and the word I’ve gotten back is that the spots I’ve been sending look great so I guess I’m doing something right. Here in Charleston Sc, they still only accept SD so I have to downconvert. I do use compressor sometimes and it works well.

Thanks so much!!!

Thanks, that’s an easy fix, i’ll try that
