Extraneous Dialogue
Display Text Extraneous Dialogue
Description "Extraneous Dialogue" is additional dialogue information in an audio track that does not match with the visuals and context on screen. This may be a wild track line, a duplication of another line in program, or temporary dialogue that has been left in the final mix.
Impact Extraneous dialogue is distracting to the member experience if there is dialogue unrelated to/ inconsistent with on-screen action. At worst, it can obscure plot-pertinent details.
Severity Assessment Guidance
FYI Dialogue cannot be directly attributed to on-screen characters and may or may not be attributed to off-screen or background characters but overall does not distract from the story.
Issue Dialogue is clearly from another scene or piece of content, or the scene has dialogue where there are clear contextual cues that it is not intended.
Blocker N/A
Solutions
How to Prevent Keep temp tracks completely separate from final tracks, and lock audio tracks that are not being worked on in order to avoid cross contaminating tracks. Review audio against picture to check for out of place or duplicated elements.
How to Fix Extraneous dialogue must be removed and/or replaced with the intended audio.
