I think I can figure it out but here is a list anyway:
Tape Media Layout Requirements:
1.) At least 15 seconds of color bar and tone
(use colorbar from media generator and tone is nothing more than a sound effect)
2.)At least 5 seconds of black prior to the first frame of slate
(So I gather this means, after the 15 seconds of color bars and tone I have to add an additional 5 seconds of black before the first frame?)
3.)At least 5 seconds of slate displaying Clients Name Spot Name and Length of cut. (I am lost on this one. I assumed it meant an additional 5 seconds on top of the previous 5 seconds to give the clients name. I don't know what length of cut means other than state the actual commercial is 30 seconds long)
4.)At least 2 seconds of black after slate and before the first frame of video (Lost. I am not sure what or why an additional 2 seconds is for. I am guessing its a gap of time between stating the clients name and the actual commercial)
5.)At least 5 seconds of black following the last frame of video
6.)The video must be on a continuous control track and timecode (guessing it means no gaps between all off the above)
The commercial should have continous control track for at least 15 seconds prior to the begining of the commercial , continuing throughout the commercial , and for at least 15 seconds following the commercial.
Linear timecode is required for all commercials . Encoders do not have the ability to read vertical time code .
(I don't know the difference nor do I know how to ensure that a tape I would hand in would be linear.)
Thanks in advance. I have learned a lot in twenty four hours. Perhaps more than what I would two months in a school.
