Issue |
The file contains head/tail build elements included from the DI and/or online edit, which should not be apart of the final product (e.g. additional black and silence, slates, color bars, SMPTE Leader, 2-pops or textless material, program bumpers, etc.) |
How to Prevent:
Lock video tracks that are not being worked on in order to avoid cross contaminating tracks. Review timeline for potentially out of place elements or format elements left in the final edit by mistake.
