Editing for air but no broadcast monitor

Hello. I hope you can help! I edited a :30 from footage off a Panasonic P2 camera (data files) that I treated like DVC50 NTSC 720x480 anamorphic. I do not have a broadcast monitor. The producer has one though, in another state. My question is, how to best color correct? Do I just follow the fcp scopes and go with that, or do I export out an fcp file or a QT file of the sequence and send it to the producer, who can then bring that into an fcp project and view it in the broadcast monitor? Or will levels be too far off with that export?
Thanks so much for any light you can shed.

Scopes don't help your eye see the colors...judge how red RED is...or how far you can crush the blacks before people can't see anything, or how washed out the image might be. So unless you have a broadcast monitor, you cannot judge. Sure, your Producer will be able to see...but then will he do the color correction? Or will you try to do some sort of long distance over-the-phone color correction? Not that he will then be able to see what you are doing.
The best you can do is make it legal...whites and blacks hitting within legal limits. You won't have any reasonable way to tell what things look like.
If you are going to be doing this sort of thing for a living...color correcting and outputting the show master...then you need to invest in the proper gear. Or send the project/file out of house to have it color corrected by someone who does.

  • Looking for cheap but good second monitor

    Hi all, I use my Mac Pro mainly for recording/mixing music. Looking for a new, smaller (15''-17'') seccondary monitor for functions like MINI editing, plugin tweaking, etc. Any recommendations?

    Try EIZO monitors, good value for not so much money.

    Arjantake a look at "Forum: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition" with this url:
    Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)
    there is many threads about XE installation.
    what do you mean by "I can't acces": via the local url "http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/" ?
    So verify first if your setup has finished correctly; for example, does database files were created in C:\oraclexe\oradata\XE ?
    Or is there any other socket server running on 8080 ...

  • Manual for AIR

    Ok, i have been sitting here and trying to find livedocs or
    manual for air but without any luck.
    I followed up a tutorial and made everything exactly as show
    and told but i still get errors.
    Where can i find Code list for air, i mean codes that work
    with Air ?
    The problem that i ran into is this one:
    close.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, doClose);
    function doClose(e:MouseEvent):void{
    stage.window.close();
    And the error (is about strage.window.close() )
    1119: Access of possibly undefined property window through a
    reference with static type flash.display:Stage.

    The error says that the object 'stage' doesn't have a
    property 'window'. And if I open the Help in Flex Builder and do a
    search for 'stage', I come to the reference for
    'flash.display.Stage', and indeed, there is no 'window' property.
    This answers your other question: the manual is inside Flex
    Builder. 60 seconds of googling and poking around on Adobe's site
    says the online version of this is here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/air/
    If I had to guess how to close the main window
    programmatically, it would be:
    this.nativeWindow.close()
    from within the WindowedApplication scope, or:
    Application.application.nativeWindow.close()
    from anywhere else in the program.
    Also, you don't have to define the function separately in
    this instance. That's procedural thinking. ActionScript has
    first-class functions:
    close.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, function
    (e:MouseEvent):void { this.nativeWindow.close(); });

  • Native Extension for AIR publishing error : framework not found

    Hello,
    I'm trying to build an iOS app using native extensions for AIR, but when I publish, I've an error message saying : framework not found
    I tried with this ANE for GameCenter integration : https://github.com/StickSports/ANE-Game-Center
    it says " ld: framework not found GameKit "
    Same problem with GREE Platform SDK for AIR :
    https://docs.developer.gree.net/en/globaltechnicalspecs/#sdkforair
    it says " ld: framework not found CoreTelephony "
    The thing is that these frameworks are already included, I guess.
    I'm using flash cs6 on mac, and I've included the path to iOS SDK in the publishing settings.

    Are you using the ANE from there or are you recompiling the ANE at your end?
    If you are recompiling, please make sure that you are using the platform.xml file they have provided.
    If you are using their precompiled ANEs, probably, the path to iOS SDK is not correct. It should be upto the folder iPhoneOSx.y.sdk.

  • IsCellEditable() to disable cell editing for specific columns

    Hello experts:
    My SSCCE for this question is at the below link:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5293914&messageID=10244030#10244030
    My question is how do I disable cell editing for all but the "Price" column of my table in the SSCCE. I tried adding the below lines of code right after creating the JTable. But get compilation errors.
    //Here is the block of code that I am trying to include.
         @Override                                                       
         public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {     
         if (col == 7) {                                                  
                   return true;
              } else {
                   return false;
         } //Below is the method in detail03.java showing the block of code added
    private JScrollPane BuildEmptyTable() {
         model = new DefaultTableModel();
         model.addTableModelListener( this );
         model.setColumnIdentifiers(new String[] { "SKU","Qty", "Price"});
            tblDetailTest = new JTable(model);
         @Override                                                       
         public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {     //     <----- I tried placing the
         if (col == 7) {                                        //                  the code block here
                   return true;
              } else {
                   return false;
         tblDetailTest.setRowHeight(20);
         tblDetailTest.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(new Dimension(900, 100));
         JTableHeader tblHdr = tblDetailTest.getTableHeader();
         tblHdr.setBackground(Color.yellow);
         JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(tblDetailTest);
         return scrollPane;
    }Can somebody please guide me? Thank you very much.

    oops!
    Sorry, my bad! I did not tell you what I tried. Following your suggestion, I made the following 2 changes to the code:
    In the method, BuildEmptyTable(), where I build the table structure, I have the following statement:
         tblDetail = new JTable(model){
    public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
           return col == 8;
    };And in a separate method after the table is populated with data, I have the below code:
         tblDetail.getModel().addTableModelListener(new TableModelListener() {
         public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e) {
         if (e.getType() == TableModelEvent.UPDATE)
              int row = e.getFirstRow();
              int column = e.getColumn();
                 if (column == 8){
                   //code here
                   System.out.println("Updating item price!");
         }I do understand that the message gets displayed as many number of times equal to number of rows inserted into the table, because of the UPDATE event. But my problem is I do not know how to make a code change to do what I exactly want, as I have indicated in my previous note. Meaning I want the listener to be called only when the
    data in the editable cell changes.
    Thank You.

  • Editing with Kodak zi8 footage for air - VGA setting

    Hello. I shot with a Kodak zi8. I used the VGA setting. I couldn't use the HD settings b/c my Mac is old and doesn't handle HD. My FCP is 5.0.4.
    So now I am editing in FCP. The Kodak .MOV files are:
    H.264 Decoder, 848 x 480, Millions
    AAC, Stereo, 48.000 kHz, FPS 29.97
    My FCP sequence is:
    720x480 NTSC DV 3:2
    Pixel Aspect Ratio NTSC-CCIR 601 DV 720x480
    Anamorphic 16:9 is checked
    Field Dominance Lower
    Editing Timebase: 29.97
    QuickTime Video Settings
    Compressor DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
    When I bring in the clips the red render line appears. Am I working in the correct sequence settings?
    Also, is this level of quality too low for local (no high-brow nationally-aired spot here) broadcast? I think it's going to be passable but would like to hear your opinion.
    Thanks very much.

    You can't really edit H264 in Final Cut Pro.
    Use Compressor or MPEG Streamclip to convert your files to an editable codec that FCP works with natively. A list of those codecs can be found under the Easy Setup menu.
    MPEG Streamclip download link and my tutorial [here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2070861&tstart=0].

  • Can an LCD TV work as a Broadcast Monitor thru Matrox Mini for Color?

    Hey guys,
    since the actual Broadcast monitors are so expensive,
    will an LCD tv work as a broadcast monitor thru Matrox Mini for Apple Color?
    Thanks,
    CJ

    It's probably better than nothing. Unless it isn't. Depends on the TV. I always think it's good to view your efforts on a regular television, but because they do their own processing in an attempt to "improve" the image, it's best to take the results with a grain of salt...

  • Need help editing for 14:9 broadcast -- what's the best strategy?

    Hi,
    I work for a station which broadcasts in 14:9. I can cope easily with this when using full screen images by visualising, roughly, what will be lost on the left and right. But now I want to use split-screens and image collages using smaller, scaled down pictures, and want to be able to design the material precisely within a 14:9 frame so that none of the material is lost.
    What's the best strategy for this? Is there a cartesian co-ordinate I shouldn't stray beyond -- or better, is there an easy way with a mask, perhaps, to show 14:9 within a 16:9 timeline. (I'll be editing with a 16:9 timeline). Can I somehow create two vertical lines to visually provide the limits of the 14 component of the aspect?
    Many thanks for any help.
    macbook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Well, you could certainly create a mask in PhotoShop that is 720x480 wide, but has a 630x480 hole in it. Then bring it in and set its anamorphic flag and put it on the top Video layer to see a 14:9 window.
    I arrived at 630 by multiplying 720x14 and dividing the result by 16...

  • I bought pages for my macbook air, but it is not showing up on my desktop mac

    I recently purchased Pages as it is on my ipad / iphone / ipod touch, so I thought why not have it on my Macbook air and desktop mac.  I bought it on the Macbook air, but it is not showing up on my purchases, and if I go to download it on the desktop, it states it is 19.99.  What am I doing wrong?

    Apps installed on your iOS devices cannot run on Mac OS X. Two different operating systems.
    If you want Pages on your Mac, you can purchase and download the Pages app for OS X here.
    Be aware, the minimum requirement for Pages for OS X is v10.9 or later.

    Are you sure that the "On My Mac" folders weren't empty? If all your mail accounts are IMAP, they may have been.

  • I never had this problem before but all of a sudden when I go to "edit" a photo the photo turns black.  All the editing functions appear but I cannot see any picture.  When I hit "done" the photo reappears. Why can I no longer see my photo for editing pu

    For years I have had no problems editing photos.  However, for some reason when I go to "edit" my photo the photo turns BLACK/BLANK.  The editing functions appear but I cannot see the photo.  When I select "done" the photo reappears.  Why is the photo disappearing for editing?  Have I hit a command accidentally that is causing this?  Really appreciate someone's assistance.

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run  Option #1, Repair Permissions, followed by Option #4, Rebuild Database, if needed.
