Description:

Severity Structure:

FYI

Dialogue drops out partially or completely when Music comes in or has a logical contextual clue with it that would indicate intent for the drop out.

Issue

Dialogue is missing without any kind of indication of intent. Characters will move mouths without sound coming out in shots that are close or feature the actor.

How to Prevent:

Review audio to picture to monitor for discrepancies. Check waveforms for dips in audio, this is a good indicator that a fix needs to be made.

Solution:

Replace dialogue as originally intended.
