I have started to put some of my stock footage here on Pond5, and was reading some of the comments here on forum, where people say that TV stations would be buying more footage here if it was broadcast safe. So I would like to ask you if you color correct your clips so they are broadcast safe - regarding saturation, contrast etc..?
For shooting I am using Sony EX1 which is 35Mbit and as I know for broadcast they require 50Mbit..Would it be useful to correct my footage as broadacst safe and what are your experiences?
Thank you for help.

Hi Vatrik
There's a good discussion here regarding Broadcast Safe and Broadcast Quality.

The key thing to be aware of, is that Broadcast Safe relates to preparing video for safe transmission, this is irrespective of the device you use to shoot on. Therefore, uploads onto here will be fine with your EX1, if the editor who purchases your footage intends to use them for broadcast, they will prepare them accordingly.
