Wrong whitebalance - to what degree fixable?

well,
if he started the topic with a specific camera,
then asked if the solution given by another member will provide an adequate quality at the end that would be "broadcast approved".
it implies that, the footage captured with that camera with the right white balance is broadcast approved.

Hi Amr, are you a lawyer or so? :shocked:
I am using the HMC as a B-Cam and sometimes even as an A-Cam together with a nanoflash (which is certainly ok for most European broadcast standards). The TV-station I want to sell the documentary to requires 75% of 4:2:2 footage shot in 1080p, no sensorsize specified. So as long as I am shooting not more than 25% of my footage with the HMC I am fine. I hope this helps to clarify my use of the HMC, which is a really great camera in my eyes (and its nice form factor and ease of use helps to create the specific content I want - which should be the main reason for this broadcaster to buy my documentary).

Even if you shoot 200% of your footage with the hmc 150/1/5/X nobody would be able to tell that it not broadcast approved or hasn't been approved yet

sorry if i caused a lot of eye brow movement to hmc owners,
if you read the original post he did actually state that the hmc with the wrong white balance was the other one, meaning the a cam is also an hmc, and no were it was stated that he recorded to an external device.
and i actually asked in the first post if the hmc was broadcast approved, maybe he's in an sd world, or maybe the network does not care about the camera.
i know networks today that requires a vhs tape as the delivery format with no other requirements. you can actually shoot on a mobile phone camera, and they will still accept it.
i answered within the parameters given, and i did wait a page of answers before i posted, were a lot of the previous solutions were provided.
if you have never color corrected footage and you asked if something is possible then someone said that you can fix the footage with a one button(auto color correct), and that maybe the footage will not be as good as color correcting the footage using a more advanced method or that the footage would not be as good as footage recorded with the right white balance, why are you asking if the footage would be broadcast approved.
the op actually agreed to my posts.
can we please stay on topic.

I actually know of quite a few productions that just convert there footage into whatever the broadcaster requires. ie 4:2:0 into 4:2:2 etc.
