So yea, i watch my error logging like a hawk looking for dinner. like a new BMW's worth of bank charges every month. bank charges on the money tied up in a film near delivery are substaintial, the producer does not get their MG paid out until the QC report says "PASS". the first one is allowed for, a second fail is usualy not budgeted for, not in terms of delvierables deadlines, or charges.Ī second fail is a good way to lose a client, it costs the producer too much, and end game is it's cheaper to pay more up front to get a QC pass and deliver on time. Should note i have a fair amount of buisness fixing other colorist's QC fails for a network, when the filmmaker and the colorist cannot deliver a master that passes QCĪlso note running QC costs the producer around 5k USD for a feature, you will not want to be responcable for a second fail. If the broadcaster runs the show through a error logging software, then you will have to care, and repair to meet deliverable spec, or the broadcaster will fix it and send the bill to the producer, but it will not run if it fails QC
If the broadcaster does not care, then happiness abounds If you have a chroma excursion in your master timeline, then you will have that in a delvierable of any sort, ProRez, DPX whatever. local tv deliveries have variable standards to meet, but i treat them the same as going to a top tier streaming service I deliver to distb's who run shows through QC process, and yes they care very much about chroma excursions etc. I have a somewhat diffrent experience from Amada's
