I would like to create my own color or stmpe bars for use on the tapes that I send out to post-production. I have been using the project file that I retrieved from the board here, but I'm concerned about some possible problems: 1. I don't really understand how the post-prod. group uses the color bars that I lay down at the beginning of our tapes, but I think it has something to do with calibaration, 2. if calibration is being performed, I would like to generate my own bars that are more representative of the work that I do – the bars project from here isn't representative. 3. I like the stmpe version appearance over just color bars, because it makes it easier for me to use my "blue" card and adjust my monitor. 4. Is there a really great, versatile NTSC library and palette, or just a good set of rules of thumb to go by to better predict final output? Thanks for your help! Chris
