Video Track for Broadcast Safe

I I have a project that has a duration of 28 minutes - is there a way to insert in one of my empty video tracks above the existing clips - a continuous (28 minute) empty track in which I could dump a Broadcast Safe filter and control that function globally vs. each individual clip?
Thanks

Set in/out at head/tails of the timeline, select all and go to...Main Menu/Sequence/Nest Items.
The nested sequence will be a single bluish/purplish video track with aqua audio.
With that nested sequence open in the timeline, option-click on the video track and apply your filter...or drag it to the video track from the effects tab of the browser.
If you just dbl-click it in the timeline, you'll open the original sequence will all layers showing.
Hope that helps...gotta run.

  • 1 Movie file has video track for appletv & 1 for iphone

    Does anyone know how when you purchase a movie on itunes in HD, you get a beautiful HD movie to watch on your AppleTV that is a fairly large file, but when you choose to sync it to your iphone the movie file is MUCH smaller, made just for the iphone. There are not two files, so I assume the file has 2 video tracks in it and syncing just extracts the smaller file. Any one have insight on this? I'm ripping my own movies and want to create the same thing. Once file with a HD track and an iphone track.

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    When you purchase HD files from itunes you DO get two files.
    Quicktime can create multi tracked files but I don't believe they will play on the tv or the ipod. Neither device to my knowledge supports sprites

  • Video Scope for Broadcast

    Does anyone have a suggestion for a plug-in or idea so that I can get a video scope for editing work I am doing for TV broadcast? I want to make sure my colors are good to go each time and did not see to find much in CS3 that will help that much for me.
    Thanks.

    OK, thanks for the info. Sorry I've got no more "cohesive" answer for you, as such, but here are some things to think about regarding PPro and video levels.
    1.) When editing HDV, PPro incorrectly converts RGB<->YUV as Rec.601. This can be seen on the scopes within Premiere. So -- scopes or not -- maintaining accurate colors can be difficult in HDV projects. DV projects with DV media have no issue here.
    2.) When output via AME, all YUV sources (DV, HDV, etc.) are converted to RGB. The same is true for DebugMode when set to RGB. Since your MPEG2 (or H.264) encoder must then convert these back to YUV, the transformation is done in such a way that luma levels are essentially clipped to the legal range of 16-235. Yo may still want to know what your luma levels are, but they will never be out-of-range when you output from Premiere in RGB.
    3.) Considering point #2 above, it is unlikely that chroma will ever exceed the "legal" range of 240. I am not certain of this, but I believe that AME (and most encoders) will map RGB -> YUV as "clamped" to legal chroma ranges (as with the luma).
    4.) Since output to MPEG2, etc. from Premiere will implicitly have a YUV->RGB->YUV conversion, the values you see in PPro's built in scopes are not necessarily the values that will be appear in your final output. The scopes may be give you an idea of how much will be clipped, but little more.
    5.) You can get a more realistic and accurate picture using DebugMode FrameServer in YUY2 mode and opening the "signpost.avi" in AviSynth. There is the Vscope plugin for AviSynth that will show you the YUV values on output. Assuming that your encoder (such as ProCoder, CCE, HC Encoder to name a few) can natively handle YUV ouput via AviSynth, these scopes will allow you to see the values that will ultimately be encoded. This YUY2 output may contain illegal values, however. Fortunately AviSynth provides a simple way of clipping these without performing a YUV->RGB->YUV conversion. The command
    Limiter(16, 235, 16, 240) will clip your values into legal ranges.
    So, there's my 2 cents on the subject. Take it as you please.

  • Exporting quicktime with 4 audio tracks for broadcast

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to do this? i need to get a program out to a broadcast quicktime file with sync on 1&2 and M&E on 3&4, i have the sequence setup correctly as did a digi playout for the same thing which was fine. However, if i do 'export quicktime' with sequence settings i only get two audio chanels. If i go to quicktime conversion then all the drop down menus for multiple audio chanels are greyed out.
    Any ideas?
    Best,
    GK

    if i do 'export quicktime' with sequence settings i only get two audio chanels
    how are up you assessing this? QT Player has only 2 playback channels and additional channels will be mixed down to those ... but if you press Cmd-J to open the movie properties you should see all 4 channels are there, or if you reimport your exported file back into FCP you'll see it contain the 4 audio tracks as exported ... if not then your export settings are not correct :/

  • Slashes on video track for fcp 6

    Hi, I'm curious what these lines are. They're slashes that go from top left to the bottom right of the track and im wondering if it will affect the output of my final product. It's also very annoying to see. lol thank you.

    If its actually on the track (timeline) it could be that those tracks are locked.
    Try toggling the little padlock button in the patchbay on the left on the timeline.

  • Optional Video Track for Viewer

    Hi guys-
    I'll explain my situation even though it's not that important. I will be shooting a dance recital and along with my cuts between a wide and closeup shot, my client wants a horizontally split screen, a portion of the lower part being an extreme wide shot to keep everyone in the shot. I really hate this idea because I think it'll look horrible, but I may have to against my reccomendation.
    MY QUESTION: Like an alternate angle or a subtitle, could the viewer use a button to turn on and off this feature in realtime as they watch? If I would need to do two seperate versions, one with and one without, it wouldn't be any use to me. Thanks in advance!
    -Jack

    It would have to be two angles to get it as close as you are describing - one full screen angle , one split screen angle - there is no way to have the track look different by combining the versions and pressing the buttons (meaning you cannot have a wide angle shot and a close up shot and combine them in DVD SP by pressing a button, needs to be done in Final Cut, etc.)

  • Video filters became disabled. video in timeline reverted back to glowing images. Broadcast safe button does nothing.  Black and white went back to color.  what happened to my video filters?

    video filters became disabled.  My timeline now shows video in pre-broadcast safe look.  black and white video went back to original color.  video filters not responding at all.  what happened?

    First thing to do is reset your fcp preferences

  • Is "Broadcast Safe" necessary if the output will never be broadcast?

    I'm doing a project whose final output will be a set of DVD's which will never be broadcast. I really like the color look I've achieved for my clips, but when I check my scopes, they're outside broadcast safe, both up and down. If the output will never be broadcast, do I need to adjust these for broadcast safe?
    Also, to get the best for the output, which settings for YUV, etc. should I use to have the DVD's match what I'm seeing in FCP?
    Just a bit of additional information, I'm making the assumption that most if not all of the ultimate viewers of the project will be viewing it on modern HD sets. Does that also make a difference to my final output settings?
    Thanks.

    You must view FCP's output on a calibrated, professional broadcast monitor to assess the "look".
    Computer monitors do not provide a true indication of how your movie will appear on a consumer television.
    Try to find two consumer televisions that are accurately and identically adjusted. It is very unlikely.
    While there is some degree of tolerance and there's not much chance of you blowing up someone's TV these days, you should at least use the "Normal" settings in the broadcast safe filter.
    As an example. whites and yellows that are too bright can "crossover" and cause an annoying buzzing sound in the audio as well as being unpleasant to look at.

  • Snow Leopard iTunes 10.5 will not play multiple video tracks in QuickTime .MOV files

    I recently discovered that Snow Leopard iTunes version 10.5 won't play multiple video tracks in a QuickTime .MOV file.
    Both video tracks appear and play correctly when playing the file in:
    - QuickTime Player 10 or QuickTime Player 7.7 on the same Snow Leopard machine
    - iTunes 10.3.1 on another Snow Leopard machine
    - iTunes 10.5 on Leopard or Windows 7
    So I think the problem is iTunes 10.5 on Snow Leopard (although I haven't been able to test iTunes 10.4).
    First test file is two 640x480 video tracks side-by-side (total dimensions 1280x480):
    http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-1280x480.mov
    All I see is the first (left) video track, and not the right one.  iTunes "Get Info" command incorrectly reports the video dimensions of the file as 640x480.
    Second test file is two 640x480 video tracks played one after another (duration of 10 seconds each):
    http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-640x480.mov
    All I see is the first video track, and although it reports the correct file duration (20 seconds), the second video track never appears -- it simply freezes on the final frame of the first video track for the last 10 seconds.
    Anyone else see similar behavior?  Unless I'm missing something, I suppose I should submit this as a bug to Apple.

    I have the same problem, i tried re-installing, converting it to AVC H264 but none seems to work so far

  • Multiple Video Tracks Problem with Back Button

    Hi,
    I am making a DVD that has to contain 16 films. Unfortunately the videos don't have the same aspect ratios, so I have to create one video track for each film.
    When the DVD is started they are supposed to play all in a row (no menus). So the end action for each track is to jump to the first chapter of the next track.
    My problem is that once I am playing, say, track 5, there is no way to get back to track 4 with the "back button" on the remote control.
    Do I have to script this? And if yes, how?

    That is exactly my problem. Chapter markers only work on the same track, for some reason you can't jump to a chapter in a different track. What I need is a solution to jump from a track to the previous one when pressing the back button on the remote.
    As I wrote before I can't use just one track for all films, because they have different aspect ratios.

  • Broadcast safe effect settings for PAL on MPEG source

    Hello,
    I've been delivered a clip (shot on iphone ((29.97)), edited on Prem CC, exported as a 1920 x 1080 MPEG.
    When applying broadcast safe filters I apply two to an adjustment layer. One set to reduce luminance at 99 (IRE), another to reduce saturation at 99 (IRE). When this is applied I get some quite heavy artifacts on high luma sections of the video. In this instance an LED illuminated train timetable, making the destinations/times unreadable.
    I've not had this problem before, so I'm guessing it may be due to the clip I received being a 29.97 MPEG? Is there any way to resolve this?

  • Preparing Music Video for Broadcast in Premiere and Encore?

    I am trying to prepare a music video for broadcast in Premiere Pro. However, the specs require audio (Ch. 1-2 stereo, Ch. 3 mono Ch. 4 mono). I can't find a way to do this in Premiere Pro. I seem to be able to do this in Encore - I can create four audio tracks.
    Problems so far:
    1. I can only import the stereo wav file onto track 1, and have to import it again on track 2. The stereo mix isn't spread across both tracks Left/Right. Will the stereo mix appear on the correct tracks when delivered for broadcast?
    2. I need to export the video as an mpeg 2 on my hard drive - not actually burn to disc. Can I export an mpeg 2 video file without burning to disc?

    I am delivering the master as an mpeg 2, uploaded by FTP.
    Here are the audio specs:
    Stereo Left and Right audio signals must appear on channel 1 and 2 respectively
    Dolby ProLogic matrixed audio (Lt /Rt) may be substituted for Stereo audio on channel 1 and 2 if desired
    Monaural audio may be substituted for Stereo on channels 1 and 2, but must appear on both channels and must be in-phase.
    Secondary Audio Program (SAP) if available, must appear on Channel 3, otherwise a mono mix of Channels 1 and 2 should appear on Channel 3.
    Descriptive Video Service (DVS) audio, if available, must appear on Channel 3 if delivered in lieu of SAP audio
    DVS must appear on Channel 4 if delivered in addition to SAP audio, otherwise a mono mix of channels 1 and 2 should appear on channel 4.
    So basically, I need a Left and Right stereo on Ch. 1 and 2. And mono on 3 and 4, because I don't have SAP or DVS content.
    I can create 4 audio tracks in Encore, then I import my stereo wav file and mono wav file. But when I drag the stereo wav file onto audio track 1, both channels of the stereo wav file are on track 1. I read in Encore's help files that (assuming this would be going to DVD and not an mpeg on my hard drive) only one audio track can play at a time. Each individual audio track appears to be stereo, but I don't know how they would each correspond with the requirement for Ch. 1 to be stereo left and Ch. 2 to be stereo right. As of right now, it appears that track 1 is both left and right, and I can import the same stereo wav file on track 2 seperately with both left and right audio.
    The specs I'm trying to meet are Viacom/MTV which is a major outlet for music video content, so I'm assuming their requirements are reasonable enough.
    As for making an MPEG2 from Encore without burning a disc, here is the format:
    Container: MXF OP1a (SMPTE 378M)
    Resolution: 1920x1080i (interlaced) 16x9 aspect ratio
    Encoding: MPEG2, High Profile@ High Level 4:2:2, 50Mbps Long GOP, CBR, 29.97 frames per second (59.94 fields per second)
    Audio: Uncompressed 2-, 4-, 12- or 16-channel audio, 24bit @48khz, BWF (SMPTE 382M). All audio channels must be contained within 1 MXF track.
    Not sure how to export from Encore - only options I am seeing involve burning to DVD or Blu-Ray.
    I really appreciate your help thus far!

  • Broadcast Safe for PAL

    Right folks, I need a quick answer on this. I am set to edit a piece for UK broadcast this weekend and in the past I have had difficulty getting clearance having used the FCP Broadcast Safe filters. I had to then put the edit into Color and correct it even further to get it past the stringent guidelines!
    What do we recommend in FCP and Color to get it right first time. The deadline on this cannot allow for any errors. Oh and btw I have no external monitors, only the scopes in FCP/Color!
    Thanks! x

    First of all, I strongly doubt that any amount of forum discussion is going to help, especially since we have no idea what your client's criteria are.
    In the spirit of suggestion, though, using the FCP "broadcast limiter" filter at Extremely Conservative will help... a bit. But it depends on what you apply it to. Most people make the mistake of applying it to their video, ignoring all their graphics, etc., which is even more susceptible to generating illegal overshoots and chroma levels -- none of which will show up in the software scopes.
    The FCP broadcast legal filter also does not do anything about sub-zero/pedestal undershoots, nothing at all. Only the COLOR "legal" limiter even looks in that area.
    The only sure bet on a "one-chance"-only flow is to do a hardware legal pass and failing that, having an outboard scope with gamut alarms set as tight as you can to freak out at the slightest hint of trouble. And then you don't ignore it and actually stop and fix whatever it is that its flagging.
    My condolences.

  • Broadcast Safe or Video Limiter?

    I've testet Broadcast Safe Filter today.
    Compared with Broacast Safe Filter in Final Cut the result in Premiere CC looks a litte bit strange when there are to many highlights in the picture - so you can't use it. Final Cut always did a good job with the same pictures. What's the difference between this two programms and this special filter?
    Using Video Limiter seems to make a good Job with same Settings (110% luminace level). Is there any difference to know?

    Shooternz has seen some weird behavior with the filter as well.  For me it's always worked quite well and fairly invisibly.

  • Long load times for large video tracks

    Is there a recommended file size to stay under for video tracks in iTuens U? I know the hard limit is 500Mb per upload, but it seems as though any file that is more than about 10 minutes in length takes upwards of 10 minutes or longer to load. A short video (under 5 minutes) will load immediately. Is iTunes content not really streamed?

    No, it is not streamed. But iTunes U isn't setup to be a streaming service. If you sniff packets (I didn't want to, but our security guy made me because of a local issue ... long story), you'll see that content is grabbed by way-of-an HTTP GET. There is a certain sense to that ... iTunes and iTunes U are, effectively, aggregators of content. You can get iTunes U to stream ... sort of ... but it is not a true streaming service (and, in fairness, it wasn't designed to be).
    There is a trick you can play with encoding ... I don't have my notes with me (someone will remember) ... wherein you can ask that content be encoded to play as quickly as possible ... "instant on". There are a couple of apps, I believe, that help automate the process. It is not the same as streaming, but is helpful in situations in which you want a streaming effect.
