Unless you use Jump Back or other brand animated and looped backgrounds, then use stock footage clips to fly through the background while the talking heads do their thing. I’d tone down the animated background a lot and let clips ease through to unify the subject.
Grinner’s idea is also a good one unless you need foreign venues and you can’t get those the same day 🙂

For PBS without commercial interruption the PBS Redbook shows a runtime of 26:46, of which the last 6 secs contains 1 sec black and 5 sec “This is PBS”. For PBS Plus or APTS the timing isn’t as strict. Commercial shows TRT is 28:30 or 28:50 with actual show time at 22:00. In today’s market it mainly depends on what the presenter (Discover or History) generally uses, which should be in their show specs.

While not currently using a tablet on my MacPro, I use the 6×8 Intuos on my edit systems. I had a 12×18 Intuos on my graphics PC, and the tablet was too huge. Do you need another monitor for your G5 (the 12″ Cintiq) or could you do just as well with the Intuos on the 23 or 30 Apple monitors? Sorry for no answers but I thought the questions might redirect you and serve you better.

I’m not real clear on what you want to end up with but if you took a long series of images to create the film strip (or the same image repeated?) then left the first five at the top and used Transform>Distort or Warp to bring the remainder into the S shape, would this be what you want? This way you could twist the frames as well.

Hi
While the picture you linked is small, hopefully you have a higher resolution version, which would make it easier. All you need to do is unlock the layer and use the select pulldown and select color option to pick the blues, then erase them. (I tried it on your image in the linked size and got pretty far in less than 5 minutes.) Then enlarge the viewer and hand erase the blue that’s left. Tedious but effective.Del

Your story is very similar to a recent thread in Discrete Edit*ors Forum. Check it out. You might even want to repost there.

Check the ribbon connector connection between the removable front panel and the frame of the VCR. Sometimes that comes loose.

Great response Richard
Technology is a wonderful thing! I have used this feature for months now but your explanation of tonal range brought it home. Thanks.Del

Hi Bill
I’m not sure what the circle for 1 sec over tone is but the last show I did that went to PBS has a silent video slate for 10 secs (from 59:40:00 to 59:50:00) then add numbers for 1 second each from 10 to 2. (59:50:00 to 59:58:08) The 2 actually lasts 8 frames leaving the proper black before beginning of show. For each second of video make a 1K tone at -20 for 20 frames and then 10 frames of 1K tone at -40.Make a nice background from a shot of your facility and put the information of the slate over that. I keep a clip in the NLEs for this purpose.
This works for me but you might go on PBS Connect for an absolutely definitive answer.
