Hi all
I have an animation that needs to be PAL broadcast safe. I understand luminance is to be max 100 IRE and chroma can be 120 IRE. Please do tell me if I am mistaken.
Currently a lot of the graphics are showing up unsafe, some blues and greens but mostly yellows. I've I set the effect 'key out broadcast safe' in after effects or premiere, maximum signal amplitude to 100.
I'm slightly struggling with the concept of keying out all unsafe, as if I can have difference levels of luminance than chroma, how can I be having one overall control for both to show what is and isn't safe. So currently I'm missing out on 20 IRE that I could be having for chroma. (I think?!)
As this is an animation and not footage I can fix the graphics direct, but I need to first understand whether applying curves or levels will be best to sort out RGB, or changing other settings in illustrator, or anything else completely.
I attempted applying the brodcast colours filter/ effect to the entire project for colour and luminance and ended up with horrible murky colours and random darker patches. So this really isn't ideal!
I've no experienec in broadcast safe so any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks everyone!
