Still having trouble using CS5 to meet broadcast requirements

I started an earlier thread asking for help meetings broadcaster specs for delivering the file of a commercial spot.

I am now dealing with my third broadcaster, and I can't seem to use CS5 AME to...

Re: Why does my video look interlaced?

It sounds like the dreaded "soap opera effect." As far as I know it can be deactivated on all the television sets that offer the "feature."

Basically, it adds new frames in between the 24 or 30...

Yet another question about encoding a video for broadcast.

Sorry, gang,

These are the specs that the cable company is asking for. They don't match a simple preset in CS5 AME, and they seem to leave out some important parameters. Please help:

Any way to prevent banding in gradients in files for delivery?

Hi guys. In CS5, when I have gradients in my video, there is serious banding apparent after I do the final export to h.264.

Re: New lens for NightLife Video

Tariq, it's very difficult to shoot in low light and have everything in focus, because as you lower your f number (open the aperture) your depth of field will get shallower and shallower. F8 is...

Re: Shooting HD but editing on an DV timeline - is there abetter way?

Sorry if I was confusing.

Kent is correct. I'm not up-rezzing anything. When you place an HD clip on an SD timeline in Premiere, each one needs to be scaled down to appear correctly. ...

So here's our usual workflow. Let me know if you guys think there's a better way of doing things.

Re: 5D footage for broadcast

The BBC will indeed bend the rules for DSLR's.

"The Road to Coronation Street" (the one-off Drama mentioned above) was shot primarily on the 5D Mk2. And even though it was broadcast on the non-HD...

Re: T2i over 5D?

I've only used the T2i thus far. Before I got my hands on it, I was very worried about focusing, based on all those reviews (mainly of the 5D) that say it's almost impossible to focus properly...

Re: Pimped out XHA1s?

David, you can change both of things in the settings of the MRC1. I shoot with XHA1's with MRC1's, and I can shoot without tape. Also, there's a buffer mode where the MRC1 will record the 14...

Alternative for a firewire port?
