Re: Interesting article on using FCPX for Broadcast

I think many people talking about "accurate color" and this guys workflow have missed an important point worth repeating: his shows are airing on broadcast and the consensus is that the shows look JUST as good, if not better (probably more the camera work than the NLE). I think THAT is what is great about this article. He's clearly detailed his workflow for monitoring what he cuts and using FCPX he is able to deliver a show that meets broadcast standards. He also does all his color in FCPX.

I find his workflow and his drive in the spirit of moving forward, rather than clinging to "the way things are done simply because that's the way we've always done them".

And to clear up confusion and misinformation, he is using 10.0.2 and there is the Blue only feature by changing the viewer mode to "blue channel only" while displaying bars. On a TV, you can select 1080i as the display mode (in Lion) and provided the monitor has basic calibration, you can apparently achieve quality that's good to monitor for broadcast.

I found the article pretty exciting. Naysayers be damned.
