Re: [FCP-L] Rant: Presumptive Clients

My limited experince with PBS and HD was a season of Chefs A Field (http://www.chefsafield.com). The hack owner of the company I worked for wouldn't pay an extra $35 per episode to have them run through a legalizer while the HD captioning was being done. The first 6 shows failed QC, due to gamut errors. Yes, we were using SD scopes on an HD system and monitoring the downconvert. After he assured the clients that it was all my fault (in front of me), he spent $6000 on an HD legalizer. All thirteen episodes passed after that. So instead of spending $455 on having 13 episodes legalized during the HD captioning dub, he spent $6000 on a box that hasn't been used since. Did I mention he is a prick and an idiot all rolled up into one?

I've delivered numerous projects to PBS - long and short form - and
have never gone through a legalizer and have never gotten kicked back.
Knock on wood. But never without external scopes. But also never HD.
