[Avid-L2] Re: The last days I've been a QC monkey

 

What types of things fall under compliance?  Is your software looking at metadata that describes the type of or format of content?  Does the software analyze video and audio levels as well?

Are there toolbox like OS level software that your software accesses as a front end or do you write code that measures levels etc...  This is an area I know little about and find it interesting.

Well, not really, but I got a job to automate checking of compliance of commercials, so I got a nice test set of stuff that is intended to play out on a variety of big broadcasters (Including BBC, FOX, National Geographic and so on.)

And I'm amazed what kind of trash people think they can get to air…

Good thing, they wanted me also to fix 'small' problems (Audio a bit too loud / soft, TC not correct, progressive not flagged as interlace etc.), so we're not the typical bitching QC department.
But if I do reject a commercial, it's for a very good reason, and trust me, I now understand why some QC monkeys are sour.
