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

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?

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...

  • My HPPhotosmartPlus printer is printing my photos in black and white I cannot seem to get them to print in colour

  • Chrome on Mac is all black and white (grayscale). How do I get it back to normal colours?

    The tabs and icons on top of Chrome are coloured
    It's just the webpages themselves that are grayscale
    When a page loads, it is coloured for a few seconds depending on how long it takes to load, then back to grayscale.
    I felt like maybe I pressed a combination of keys to activate this, but not sure. Was chatting on Facebook and probably pressed something.
    Please help! I've tried searching Google but maybe I'm not using the right keywords? I can't find anything remotely similar in the search results. Thanks!

    Hello,
    Open System Preferences/Universal Access and see if you have Zoom turned on. If so, click Off.

  • How to have "black and white only" be the default print option

    Just installed a new printer and would like to set it up so that the default print option is black and white only. How do I do this?

    Can't find this anywhere. I'm brand new to Macs so I
    might need more detailed instructions.
    I have an HP Photosmart C6100 by the way.
    Not sure which post you are responding to since you replied to yourself
    Every printer is a little different so you may have to do some searching through the settings. I don't have an HP Photosmart C6100 here so I can't say for sure where the setting is for that printer.
    The closest thing I have to that model printer here is an HP OfficeJet 6310
    In that model you choose Paper Type/Quality
    In drop down menu under Color you select Gray Scale
    Then you can still save the preset as I described in my previous post.
    If the C6100 is different than that you may just have to search through option pages and explore the drop down selections.
    Which I could be more specific, but they are all a little different.

  • Scaning documents to PDF converting to black and white

    I have to scan back to back documents for my work into a PDF mode.  The documents are on colored paper so this eats up a lot of bites.  Is there a way to scan these documents and have the PDF show in black and white to conserve how much computer space that take and make uploading time less when I send them on to my employer in a secure encryped web page?

  • Apple tv 1 shows black and white picture???

    i got my atv1 4 yrs back.was using it with my old tv with the 3 component cables,and i used to get only black and white pictures.
    but after using it for such long time,i finally got a new led-hdtv.but to my surprise still the apple tv shows only black and white.i am not the getting what the problem is and how to fix it to make it color???

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The fact that you are receiving a black and white picture suggests that you are using only one of the elements of the component cabling. Can you tell me more about how you have connected the Apple TV to your new TV please.

  • HT4061 I have black and white lines on my screen what is up?

    My screen is displaying black and white lines. How do I fix it?

    Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If that doesn't fix it, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar as it sounds like you screen has given up.

  • JToggleButton.....The selectedIcon is always in black and white..

    Hi !
    i want to use custom icons for the Selected state of the JToggleButtons
    The problem is that when the button is selected the icon appears in black and white colors .
    How can i fix this problem and have an full color icon?
    thank you in advance

    Pit,
    I have tried and failed to do this in the past... What I can tell you is the if there is a way to customise the "depressed appearance" of a JToggleButton it's beyond my (limited) abilities... In the end I decided it was only a "nicer point" and tacked it onto the TODO list... where it shall (in all likelyhood) languish indefinately.
    Having said that I just bet it's possible, and there's a couple of Swing freaks (no offence intended (well maybe just a little (but nothing worth getting offended over))) who are pretty active on this forum. If you don't get an answer today then try reviving this thread tomorrow, and the next day... until you do get a definitive answer... and in the meantime I'm sure you've got bigger fish to fry.
    Cheers. Keith.

  • TV shows up as black and white when I hook Ipod to TV

    I have the dock and the remote, the cables, etc.... Yet when I hook up to the T.V. to watch downloaded show 1. I either get the show in Black and White
    or 2. I get audio only. What's the solution?

    if you are not using cables specifically designed for the iPod make sure you switch the red and the yellow. also make sure the TV out setting is on in your video settings on your iPod.
    if you are using a cable specifically for the iPod and it doesn't work after trying the above the cable maybe defective.

  • Can't import Scanned Black and white photos to iphoto

    Issue : When importing a *Scanned, Black and white, jPG* image to iphoto get an error message
    Error message stats " The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)
    Solution: Im not an expert but I think it's the scanner driver and the color profile it uses. Changing the color setting to RGB or color or changing the file type from JPG to Tiff may help. If you have already scanned the photos or if changing the settings do not help the follow the instructions to fix the photos.
    1. Locate the Remove.app Script
    Location is : Macintosh HD - Library folder - Colorsync Folder - Scripts folder- Remove script
    2. Select all of the photos and drag and drop the photos on top of the Remove script. The photos will immediately be ready to import to iphoto and will still be the same location they where dragged from.
    Tip: place the photos in a folder on the desktop then select all ( command-A ) the photos with the issue. This may make it easier to drag and drop onto the Remove script

    Gail:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The reason you're getting that black thumbnail and full sized image is that iPhoto does not support the grayscale profile Dot Gain 20% that grayscale scanning embeds in those photos. You're best bet is to scan them as color. They will still look the same but have the RGB color mode and sRGB color profile that iPhoto can support.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

    Please clarify your "Elements 12". Is that as in Photoshop Elements 12 (photo editor) or Premiere Elements 12 (video editor). And, on what computer operating system is the program running?
    Your question is pointing to Photoshop Elements 12 and that you have posted in the wrong forum. If this is a Photoshop Elements 12 question as I believe it is, please post your thread in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum using the following link provided for your convenience

  • How to create a black and white text clip?

    I'm using pro Cs4 and was wondering how do I create a black and white text clip?  When I used Vegas there was a clip I could put in, and simply write whatever I needed.
    Still getting used to Pro Cs4 and was wondering if anybody can help me.
    Thanks!

    Do you wish to have a black field w/ white text, over part of an existing Video Clip, or do you want just a black field w/ white text and not have any Video showing through?
    For the latter, just do a Title in Titler, w/ white text, and place that on the Timeline.
    For the former, let us know the exact details, as that is slightly different.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    [Edit] as a little background, when in Titler, you will see a "black" background, but that is really Transparent. However, if placed on the Timeline, with nothing below it, it will show black.

  • How to make a photo half black and white with select colours

    Hey,
    Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to make a photo black and white with abit of colour like the one attached... on CS4?
    Cheers

    Haven't seen you attached file as it takes a long time for attachments to load on this forum.  Try little camera icon instead.
    EASIEST way to have B&W in areas is to add Hue and Saturation adjustment layer.  Use sliders to make B&W.  Next paint on layer MASK, with black, to restore color in areas you want to show color.
