| Display Text | Framing Error |
| Description | "Framing Error" refers to the improper matting or scaling of the intended visual resolution & frame. |
| Impact | A Framing Error negatively impacts the member experience, if the framing or aspect ratio does not match what was creatively intended and/or shifts abruptly mid-scene. Creative elements may be cropped out, and plot pertinent details may be lost as a result. |
| Severity Assessment Guidance | |
| FYI | N/A |
| Issue | Image zooms in/ out or shifts left/ right abruptly mid-shot or immediately before/ after a cut. Frame has clearly been re-sized causing aliasing or a blurry image. Scaling/ framing and quality of image does not match similar surrounding shots. |

| Solutions | |
| How to Prevent |
Review any matting. Do not push in further than intended resolution when possible. Ensure any scaling/ matting changes are applied cut to cut to avoid abrupt shifts mid-shot. Shoot and finish at a higher native resolution than intended final delivery to allow for re-framing without compromising image quality. |
| How to Fix |
Affected shot must be corrected or replaced with a shot that matches the visual look of the content around it. Archival footage should retain as much quality as possible. If a shot scaling/ framing changes abruptly mid-shot, adjust it to have the change applied cut to cut. |
