Thanks Andy, I’ll get on it.

Typical really, the setting I needed was staring me right in the face!

What’s the difference between Lt Rt and normal L R Stereo, or are they essentially the same thing?

I’ve been meaning to get Quicktime Pro for a while. Just checked the Apple Store and it’s a lot cheaper than I seem to remember it being, no excuse not to really.

Thanks for the reply.

I’ve been going through shot by shot with the 3 Way CC getting contrast, then some secondary filters to bring down some of the colour, and using the FCP scopes. I know I’ll probably get my head bitten off, but I’m going through an MXO2 with it’s new calibration setup into a HDTV for montoring. I’m afraid it’s all we can afford at this time.

The trouble is that some of the shots are so far off that once I get the shots down to legal, it can end up looking pretty washed out. The broadcast safe doesn’t seem to do a great job with clamping the excess chroma too, has a pretty drastic effect on the rest of the image.

I had a feeling you’d say that. I was basing my assumption on what I read in this post

I was kind’ve hoping there’s be a bit more leeway, cos this is one hell of a task to get this concert broadcast safe.

Some of the footage is from the 70s so looks pretty grainy already.

I’ve just tried a couple of tests with Streamclip, looks okay but there are some artefacts appearing. Will try the DVD route, not in the mood for fiddling about with minute setting changes.

Thanks for your replies
