| How to Prevent |
Review all edit points. Check for any abrupt, incomplete, or inconsistent audio transitions. Make sure the file meets Netflix specifications with 1 second of format black and silence at the head and tail. Ensure that the video and audio tracks are the same length to verify that no extra edits were introduced into the audio. |
| How to Fix | Audio edits must be reconfigured to make them more seamless. Extend or trim edits as needed, and re-export. |
