TV Tools:
Here's a collection of little bits and pieces I've built to simplify my television-making life. Help yourself, and let me know how you like them.
Timmy's TV Actions
Timmy's TV Actions v1.0 (For Photoshop 7 Mac only.)
A collection of handy actions for Photoshop, conveniently assigned to function keys. Handy stuff like adding safe title and picture indicators to any image, switching between D1 and square pixels, creating alphas and unshaping video. Enjoy!
Field Order Test
Field Order Test - Stuffit
Field Order Test - Zip
This is a handy little movie for figuring out which field order any particular NLE uses. Download your preferred archive (both contain the same movie), expand it, load the resulting "FieldOrderTest_D1_NTSC.mov" file into your video system and hit play. One side will stutter, one side won't. And then you'll know!
