BROADCAST REQUIREMENTS

Due to the fact that this project requires our piece of work to be fit for broadcast we have to meet the broadcast requirements. We were given the broadcast guidelines and they state that we have to have 10 seconds of black screen, followed by 10 seconds of colour bars and tone, followed by 20 seconds of a counting clock. The clock must include product number issued by our heads of post aka the unit number, the title of our programme, the producer/ producers name, whether it is SD or HD Master, 16:9 Letterbox or 16:9 Full Height Anamorphic, whether the audio is stereo or dual mono and the start and end time of programme for example 10:00:00:00 - 10:00:15:00. The there is 3 seconds of black screen then your piece will play, then it will end with 10 seconds of black screen.

So I manage to put all of these things into Premier, I edit the text of the clock so that it is relevant to our project and set everything out as it is suppose to be. It all seems to be fine the only thing left to do is change the start time of the piece to 10:00:00:00. Premiere wouldn't let us do this we tried experimenting for a long time, we searched the Internet for answers and we asked some fellow class mates but unfortunately we could not find out how to do this anywhere.

Matt went off to find a solution while I held base and he returned with the great news that he bumped into someone that he worked with on another project. He had the great news that his friend from broadcast had offered to help us out. The broadcast student aka Matt's friend has Final Cut, we gave him our files and he imports it into final cut. He then changes the start time and we are ready to go. We export it being extremely careful again to use the correct settings so that one our video works and two we meet the broadcast standards. Another problem solved and our work completed in perfect time.
