    Broadcast safe blacks and whites - Premiere CS4 - How to get?

    Saad Khan Community Member

      Hi. I recently had a fellow editor over and he saw some of my footage and mentioned that my whites were too bright and to make sure that they were broadcast safe before exporting them. He didn't know how to do it in Premiere as he uses Final Cut. He said that Final Cut does it automatically. Does Premiere Pro do it Automatically?

       

      After mentionng it to me, I did notice that my whites were quite bright. Below are some examples.

      These are two frames taken from the timeline of a sequnce which had already been exported as an AVI.

       

      Here is some information about the system I use:

      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?
