Broadcast-Ready AI Video in Newcastle

A raw AI generation is an 8-bit, 24 fps H.264 file. Nothing about it is broadcast-legal. For Newcastle campaigns going to air we plan the frame rate at generation, uplift bit depth, grade in Resolve and master to ProRes 422 HQ with OP-59 audio, so the spot clears CAD and QC first time.

Where Raw AI Output Fails Network QCNO. /03

A generation is 8-bit, 24 fps, H.264. The network wants 10-bit ProRes 422 HQ at 25 or 50 fps with loudness-compliant audio and head and tail silence. Every one of those gaps is closed in post, and we plan for them at the brief stage, starting with frame rate. Read the Australian delivery spec guide.
