Producing Graphics for Broadcast
An important part of the HDTV workflow is to produce graphics, such as bumpers and promos
that are created in graphics programs for HDTV broadcast.
To create a graphics-based HDTV program:
1. Create files on a graphics workstation, using either 1280x720 for 720p or 1920x1080 for
1080i.
2. Export the files to a location that the Avid editing system can access.
3. Create a 720p or 1080i project, import the files, edit, and finish.
4. Create a broadcast master tape in the desired format. Cross-convert to output an alternative
format.
Creating a Film-Based Project
When you create a project that uses footage coming either from film reel or high-resolution
digital files (2K+), the options that you choose for your project should be determined by:
• The acquisition format (high-res digital files, 16mm or 35 mm film, HD video)
• The audio rate (film speed of 48 kHz, or video speed of 48.048 kHz)
• The finishing and output requirements of the project
To create a new film-based project:
1. Start your Avid editing application.
2. In the Select Project dialog box, select the folder in which you want to create the project:
Private, Shared, or External.
3. Click New Project.
