Is playing out a sound clip as an video file normal practice? Watch the clip and you’ll see a title card with the metadata and name as sweetness.wav. It appeared on screen briefly then they cut the to the camera as it continued playing.

Looks like the wrong mosart template was used. There are (in W1 at least) sound only templates which open the sound fader and run a server clip but don’t take the vision. If they put in a standard clip mosart template then pressing take next will have done just that, sound and vision.

Do audio clips or sound effects need a video element or is it just easier when coding the show to use a video file for an audio element?

The last two clips posted show the contrasts in delivering risque content. Ben Thompson and Victoria Fritz's innuendo laden sweet tasting feature is hilarious, while Derbyshire has clearly deliberately said the C-Bomb and then rants about men using the term.

Sorry Victoria, lovely films and crap stunts like this don't make good tv.

Did she even apologise to the viewers, or just her assembled guests in the studio?

She commented about it on Twitter but never actually apologised for her sexist smear against men.

Interesting that just now they played out a report fading up the countdown music at the end of the report with then just 1 second to go until Outside Source started.

I just turned on the NC shortly before 9pm, and a Fergus Walsh VT ran right up to the top of the hour - the countdown music gradually faded in over its last few seconds, and we got just a moment of countdown visuals before OS started. Any ideas what happened there?

At a guess, the timings got cocked up by at item earlier in the hour overrunning

Just seems a bit odd they'd not notice they were starting a 4 minute VT at nearly 2056 rather than drop it and throw to the weather.

I thought it was odd they used a mock for the background as well https://tvnewsroom.org/wallpapers/.

The after comment is probably worse than the c bomb itself.

And she still didn't properly apologize today!

How is the World News local time graphic generated?

Only ask as its currently showing the local time in Westminster as being 14:17 when it should be 19:17.

Pretty sure it's been previously said that it is inputted manually. I would presume that for the UK time to be wrong that someone has forgotten to reset it after it's previous use.
