This is probably a really dumb question but I am working on my first broadcast project and have information from the company that will broadcast it. The first areas that I am unsure about is
Content Formatting:
• Slate Duration = 00 seconds 02 frames
• Black Duration = 00 seconds 01 frame
• 60 Second Duration = 59 seconds 29 frames
• 30 Second Duration = 29 seconds 29 frames
• 15 Second Duration = 14 seconds 29 frames
• 10 Second Duration = 09 seconds 29 frames
• Post-roll Duration = 00 seconds 01 frame
Does the slate, black duration and post-roll duration all account inside of the 30 second duration? Or are these tacked on the beginging and end of the 29second 29 Frames? Also in regards to the slate what does this consist of?
Last question
