Re: Color to 16mm, Broadcast Safe?

[Rafael Amador] "I guess that I can tweak the "Broadcast Safe" in Color setting "Celling IRE: 109". This would cut for sure all the below 0 values. "

Setting the Ceiling IRE to 109 means Color will clip anything at 109 or above. If you want Broadcast Safe you set to 100 or, as we do in our shop here, 99.

If you mean cutting the blacks at 0, then you set your Floor to 0.


[Rafael Amador] "By default I desaturate High and Low. I guess this will help but won't be enough.
What else can I try in Color or AE to make sure I won't get any strange color in the Highlights? "

You start by bringing the luminance down to 100 or close to 100. If you really want to push an area over 100, I generally use vignetting to work on just those offending areas.
