Error Code:
Frame Edge Shading
Description:
"Frame Edge Shading" is darkening along the edges or in the corners of the frame due to camera hoods or production flags being partially in frame.
Impact:
Frame edge shading impacts the Content Quality of the asset. Member experience is negatively impacted by anything that might obscure visual content. This can also be a revealing visual cue to the filmmaking process, removing the suspension of disbelief. This may be creative intent to create a more "film-like" experience or may also be creative “vignetting” implemented during color correction to add depth to an otherwise “flatly” lit scene.

Issue |
Noticeable darkening along the edges or vignetting in the corners of frame. |
How to Prevent:
Check edges of frame while shooting, and adjust any camera hoods/ production flags, so that they do not encroach on the edge of frame.
Using a radial graduated neutral density (GND) filter can help when the source of darkening is natural vignetting.
Solution:
Review and confirm if this is creative intent. Otherwise, scale the image or apply a VFX fix to conceal the shading.
