White always clips above 100IRE?
So I typically shoot at 108-109% white levels in my Sony and JVC cameras. Clips with necessary detail that exceeds 100IRE on the waveform, I hit with a 108 to 100 effect n FCPX, exposing the detail that is clipped in the viewer and on air.
My question is where does this 100% clipping exist in the wild. Does Facebook clip at 100? Do YouTube and Vimeo clip at 100? I know that if I export a frame of 108% video, then reimport the still frame, it will be clipped across the top at 100IRE. I was under the impression that 108-109% levels were happy to exist and display on a PC, or on a Blu-ray, but now I am not so sure this is happening, especially since even the FCPX viewer clips. Anyone know the real scoop on where these superwhites can live without being beat down by the levels police? Paul |

When you master a video I would make your signal does not go over 100 IRE.

Re: White always clips above 100IRE?
I always conform my video to 100IRE for broadcast, as I work for a TV station. I was just wondering if for my personal video files, or those uploaded online, if I still needed to conform them if they are not being run through the broadcast chain, such as YT or FB postings.
Is there a test pattern I can upload or view that would have blinking boxes above 100IRE or such? Paul |

Thanks Cary. I shoot night video with lots of highlights, so conforming is pretty mandatory as in camera 100% white clip is ugly. Flames look so much prettier when they are not clipped!
