[Avid-L2] Re: 16x9/14x9 title safe + 23.98/59.94 delivery

 

1: Discovery expects 14X9 as that makes it safe for international. They actually have a keyable template that gives you the 14x9 title safe and all their bug safe areas also. The low tech way is to load that, and put Post it notes on your monitor for the guides. The high tech way is to cut the kayable bug over every title to check it.

3: Make a 23.98 master. If you don't have Symphony Universal, use deck to deck conversion for a converted clone.
