Premiere Pro, ITV HD settings, Clearcast and Vidchecker

Think I might have solved the issue these. It has been test and works

Thanks for the comments. I feel much better knowing it's not a unique experience. Although somewhat perplexed as to the mis-information on their website. I am speaking to them today and will let you know the outcome. I did have a friend of mine compress the Quicktime (animation) file with Sorensen Sqeeze using the template they provided. It worked fine for their purposes however it was clearly not broadcast quality. The fact they ask for the final mastered version to avoid any issue with delivery to the broadcaster is somewhat incorrect when their spec does not necessarily meet the requirements of the broadcaster. I will contact ITV directly and give them the MXF for checking. Hopefully they will accommodate me.

I have had exactly the same issue delivering files to Clearcast. Out of my nearly 30 years working in Broadcast TV they remain pretty much the worst company for "The computer says no" failures. The problem is with them and not with how you're making files. Where possible I simply avoid Clearcast and use another company. If you absolutely must use them then I've found producing Prores Quicktimes avoids these failures.

I deliver maybe a dozen hours of UFF video a day and haven't seen this issue. Mainly using progressive sources and my most common export is XDCAM 422 60i. We also use vidchecker in house for QCing everything and its not failing for wrong field \ progressive when supposed to be UFF. Watching for more info tho

That was of course what, three major build series ago?

I would suggest installing MediaInfo on your machine, a free download "we" use heavily around here.

Drag/drop an exported file onto the app's icon on your desktop, then go into that app's "Tree View" setting, and see what it reports about the video file details. And post a screen-grab by dragging/dropping it into your reply.
