Saad Khan Mar 27, 2011 4:53 AM (in response to Saad Khan)Actually looking at the images on the post, the whites don't look as bright as what they do on my computer monitor
, however, on the TV, I must admit that some do look pretty bright. I could be wrong though.

able123 Mar 27, 2011 9:33 AM (in response to Saad Khan)yes, the tv and computer monitor will look different...probably why you thought the whites were OK when editing on computer.
I use CS3 so your version may be slightly different ....
im gonna put up some images to illustrate...
you can use broadcast colors (effect )...drag onto clip ...and see if that works OK for you ...
export a small sample of product ( shrink work area to do small sample ), burn dvd and look on TV...only way to see if its working...can use dvd RW if you want and your dvd player can play dvd rw.
if broadcast colors doesnt work well for you, you can also use the OUTPUT on levels...which is normally 0 and 255...black and white...
after you click "OK" on the levels menu you see in sample is when you see change in program monitor...( in my version cs3 )..you wont see change until you click OK, except for in the little tiny window of the levels box....
I personally use the levels adjustment (output only ) more often than the broadcast safe colors for WHITES...

Once I found out how to do it, is there a way I could quickly apply this to a whole sequence of clips? Do i need to play around with it for each individual clip?
---------------
you could "copy" a clip that you apply the broadcast safe ( or levels ) to...and then select other clips and use " paste attributes" and they will get the adjustment...BUT THEY WILL GET ALL EDITING ADJUSTMENTS ALSO that you made to that one clip.....
In other words , it will add EVERY editing effect attribute of the clip you choose to copy.

Saad Khan Mar 27, 2011 2:20 PM (in response to able123)Hey Robodog,
Thank you. That was very helpful. I'll try it out and let you know if it works.
Just one more question.
The output is set to 0 - 255
I noticed that you made the adjustments to 10 - 245
Is 0 -255 broadcast safe or do I need to readjust to 10 - 245?

-------------
it depends cause its "relative"... the brightest whites you have for source asset will be 255, and darkest blacks will be 0 in asset...
if you SHOT it where the blacks aren't closed black then 0 might be OK....and if you SHOT it where hottest white is not blown out...or higher than about 100 on the IRE scale...then 255 might be OK..
its relative to your source

able123 Mar 27, 2011 2:33 PM (in response to able123)which brings up another point...open up your reference monitor and put the yv waveform scope on it...and look at the IRE scale... it will help you get in range.... safe is about 7.5 to about 100 ( 1 volt point to point I think its called ...im no scientist and this gets kinda complicated for broadcast... but I think the safe thing is about 7.5 to 100

JSS1138 Mar 28, 2011 9:27 AM (in response to Saad Khan)The simplest way would be to nest your edited sequence into a new one and apply the Broadcast Colors filter to that.

Saad Khan Mar 28, 2011 5:33 PM (in response to JSS1138)Thanks Jim.
Is that the broadcast colors filter? Do I need to adjust it once applying it?

Saad Khan Apr 16, 2011 3:59 AM (in response to Saad Khan)After some playing around, I beleive that the blacks and whites
automatically stay between 0 - 255 especially when
playing it on a TV. Hope this is correct.
