Re: [FCP-L] Rant: Presumptive Clients

At least he's a prick with a legalizer. I find there is no way to satisfy my Tek WFM-7020 for minor specular errors without a GOOD legalizer. I'm limping with an Ensemble Frame Store legalizer that just plain sucks. You can't have it legalize RGB and Proc Amp controls at the same time. I ran an un color corrected show through the ensemble and logged 90 plus errors on the tek scope. Same show through the Harris Videotek DL-860 and zero errors.

I run 16 to 235 limits on my color correction but stuff still sneaks through, even after applying the Avid Safe Color Limit effect. For broadcast work I never fly without a net. I firmly believe there are errors added after my color correction on the timeline by the hardware outputting the signal. Sure enough I got a show fail QC thanks to my limited legalizer. The cost of re close captioning and dubbing the outputs would have paid for the brunt of a valid legalizer. I've even explained the loss of time for Safe Color Effect renders and virtually double the storage space on each show but bean counters don't watch level just beans.
