Thanks for all your replies guys, especially Chris.
I guess I’m looking at getting my footage copied to digibeta via a copying facility or the TV Station themselves. I’d love to be able to rent a digideck and do these things for myself but my funds can’t stretch to that currently.
I’m in the UK but I guess most of what you’re saying is similar (except resolution and frame rate of course), if not I’ll ask the station themselves but I just didn’t want to sound like an idiot beforehand.
Chris, you mention I need bars and tone? By -20 do you mean -20 frames? Also is there anywhere I can find out about the actual creation and setting up of bars and tones? I don’t think AE has this facility, though I’ve used it in Premiere in the past. Is there a webiste that explains the principal and proceedures involved in this??
Thanks again for your continuing advice.
