Broadcast questions please
Hi All, 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. CC does Yes I...

Expand commentDemetria, Thank you for finding and sharing that link. I read it. Got it. I figured Captions via line21. If you use Adopee like me...LOL you can add it after. IF you use other software IE Avid, FCP you should have it already on board. http://www.synchrimedia.com/ Robert, thanks for chiming in and letting me know that to ask for particulars is not frowned upon as each have their own way.

Expand commentget a hard copy (Or electronic ) of deliverables and specs... BEFORE you do anything.... Then run down the list and sort out what you can and cannot deliver. If this is a show/video/movie that is your's and this is your gig.... then you'll have to talk to the network about the minimum list of deliverables and where there is room for negotiation. Closed caption stuff is best sent out to any number of companies that do it for a living... Its not that pricey. Rating is another you CANNOT use a MPAA rating without getting the project formally rate by the MPAA. TV ratings are Voluntary and normally handled by the network/broadcaster. - http://www.tvguidelines.org/faqs.htm As to files and tapes... the delivery spec will call for details like HDCAM or D5 or other linear digital tape with6 to 8 tracks ( for 5.1 ) and stereo mix detailing which track gets which mix track. Whether you need to deliver flat mix or Dolby Digital AC3, there will be QC specs on audio levels and video levels that will need to be met as well. You will probably be asked to deliver on Disk as well and the file formats will be described in detail on the spec sheet.... Just about every freaking network / station has their own specs.. I have a literal BOOK of them in my studio and updating all the time.

Expand commentGeorgia, Great stuff thank you. I was corresponding to a PBS station out here and got slammed with a list of needs, that or I could sent it to a Nat'l clearing house where they get their content anyways. (Which was implied the preferred) Thanks for the link and the rating info. I think that about covers all the questions, I had hanging out there. Regards Simon
