      Hi All,  Be advised-CS6 not CC !

      I am in contact with a local broadcast company, I was asked or told about my content:

       

      "All programs submitted must have captions, a ratings icon, music cue sheets & a signed license agreement for broadcast."

       

      Captions are for closed captions which Cs6 does NOT have the ability to export for broadcast (albeit a law before 5.5 was release I believe) CC does Yes I know Lease it and get it. Vegas Pro has had it, so has FCP, Avid too and there maybe a few converters I am unaware of.

      I read that can add it as an option in cs6 Encore for DVD and not sure if Broadcast can use it that way? I wonder if those are separate files sent along to the station so they are available to the viewer if desired. (by law I think they have to be there?) I was looking for a work around at the moment. BTW.... Please advise.

       

      Ratings Icon- Where is this placed? Does that need a special format or file for the station? Or just a green screen with a "G" for general?

       

      Music Cue sheets- ? I am not sure what they are asking for...?

       

      Releases, OK how about open source or stuff I wrote? Just grab a boiler plate release and fill in needed areas?

       

      Please advise if you work at a station and can point me to the resources so I can learn

       

      Thank you,
