Error Code:
Luminance Flicker
Definition:
Luminance Flicker refers to a rapid change in luminance within the image. Luminance Flicker impacts the technical and content quality of an asset. The customer experience will be adversely affected if the flicker causes on-screen elements to be obscured or it distracts from the action on-screen. This issue may be in the program as creative intent. Any derivatives produced will also contain the luminance flicker.
Severity Structure:
|
FYI |
Appears to be creatively intended and does not detract from the experience. Source of flicker is visible on-screen (ex. strobe light in a club). |
|
Needs Review |
May have been creative intent or is inherent to source materials if on archival footage. Source of flicker is not present in the shot. |
|
Needs Fix |
There is an extreme change in brightness which distracts from content on-screen; character or action is obscured. |
Solution:
Review and confirm if this issue is inherent to the archival source; otherwise, luminance flickering must be fixed. The affected shot(s) must be re-colored or replaced in order to maintain a consistent brightness.
