I'm presently struggling with archival footage where clearly nobody thought about how the quality would hold up in the future, so I understand the need to maintain some real standards, but what you are going through sounds rather insane. If you have to go to such extremes to even see the artifact, its not an artifact. Enforcement of this stuff is rather selective too...I once called the QC person at one of the big three networks, on a tight turnaround show where if a shot got flagged it would have big consequences. I was offering to send a file over for them to pre-judge before I used it and he cut me off and said "This is a pointless exercise...do you think its fit for broadcast?" I said "Sure." He said "Good enough for me" and hung up. Yes it happened and it aired in prime time.

Well my Post Supervisor just in formed me "Crunk" = Crazy Drunk. Now I of all people should understand that term but for the life of me I don't get what they mean by it other than jacking levels to a ridiculous level on setup and gain I suppose.
Don't get me started on who I think is Crazy Drunk for even noting these inconsequential so called artifacts.

If I blow up the screen 200 percent I can sort of find these flashing "artifacts" QC claims are 3s. They are at best 1s and are virtually invisible on anything but a hyper tweaked in contrast etc monitor. I am really starting to believe they are running my SDR, standard dynamic range, file into an HDR monitor to that it is completely blown out to see these supposed artifacts. Here's the quote of the day from QC"If you still wanted help locating these stuck pixels, get your levels "crunk and look...."So what the hell is "Crunk"? I'm guessing crushed and something else. I've never heard this term in my life. Is it really a thing?John Moore Barking Trout Productions Studio City, CA bigfish@...
