Error Code:
Luminance Shift/Flicker
Description:
"Luminance Shift/Flicker" refers to a change/ multiple changes in the brightness levels within a shot/ scene.
Impact:
Luminance Shift/Flicker impacts the Technical and Content Quality of the asset. It can distract from the creative on screen action, and in severe instances, potentially obscure plot pertinent elements.
Severity Structure:
|
FYI |
Source of luminance shifting can reasonably be attributed to an on screen element or is understood based on contextual cues (e.g. strobe lights in a nightclub or character turns away from a practical light source). |
|
Issue |
Changes in luminance are not reasonably discernible as creative and distract from on screen action. |
How to Prevent:
Review for luminance consistency across shots. Apply luminance changes uniformly across similar shots, cut to cut whenever possible to minimize abrupt shifts mid-shot.
Solution:
Confirm if creative intent or best possible. Otherwise, affected shots must be regraded to maintain consistent brightness and minimize unnecessary shifting mid-shot.
