Error Code:
Picture Jitter
Description:
"Picture Jitter" is the shaking of the image due to unintended, unnatural camera movement or image re-positioning. In archival film footage, may be the result of film perfs not being properly aligned with film scanner sprockets/pins.
Impact:
Picture jitter impacts the Technical and Content Quality of the asset. Excessive jitter may take the member out of a seamless viewing experience, bringing attention to the technical aspects of production. In severe cases, the jitter may make the content unwatchable.
Severity Structure:
FYI |
Contextual cues indicate jitter is intentional to provide a “handheld” or “filmic” style to the program. |
Issue |
Jitter is clearly due to a re-positioning edit mid-scene. Jitter is overly distracting and appears inconsistent with surrounding/ similar shots. |
How to Prevent:
N/A
Solution:
Apply stabilization to minimize jitter. Make sure that any stabilization applied does not induce visible matte edges or additional artifacts.
