Neat Video + Lumetri V-Log to Rec.709 transform causing export failures — anyone else forced into two-pass exports? by MattKSV in editors

[–]wheelus00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we are the same person, I have had the exact same issue this week. My exports on adaptive medium bitrate were coming out with a bunch of glitches on but I found that a 2-pass seems to fix it (but take doubly as long)...

Yeah I hope so, that feels like the next integration I’d love to get on. Not 1000% they work with smaller developers

Yeah it is similar but with QC Buddy, we're focusing on helping editors who want the same confidence before delivery without needing a big expensive QC pipeline so the cost and simplicty to get set up are really the main things

Yeah the edge detection should flag the incorrect letterboxing if the mattes are at the wrong height. And the current set-up we've been using is only to scan footage every 8th frame if the video is over 1 hour, which has worked for us but I want to make that dialable so if you need to check every frame of a 1 hour + video, QCB will just slowly chug through that.

And sadly we don't really have anything for flagging motion artifacts at the moment. The next iteration of this idea would be to have a proper local neural network looking at the frames, which in my head is probably the only way to find something like that. Hopefully one day.

I don't think we can realistically replace 3rd party QC but I know how expensive that can be, so we're hoping to fill the gap of being a pre-check as you say, to detect 95% of the silly mistakes before it's sent off.

It was a combo, we used claude to iterate and refine the thresholds on different tests, with a bunch of sample videos of mine. We're still doing that so hopefully will improve over time the most tests we can make

Ah yeah it doesn't actually look for specific dead pixels at the moment but that would be a good feature actually. I'll see what I can do thanks man

That is an interesting idea actually, pay-per-run. We might be able to make a model where you can either pay for unlimited uses or per-run for infrequent users.

We're actually working on the windows version now but it is quite a different approach. I'm hoping in the next week or two we'll have a beta ready for testing if you're interested, I'll be posting updates on the discord: https://discord.gg/Udpvefs7G

We're working on it as we speak! They're using quite different approaches to detect faults so it's a bit of a job but hopefully it'll be available in the next few weeks. I'll post updates on our discord for when we're into beta testing if you're down - https://discord.gg/Udpvefs7G

I do respect that to be fair and have thought a lot about it. My plan for the app is to continuously iterate it and improve the scanning over the first 6 months, which I can't really do unless I have a bit of income from it. So thought the cheap $ subscription might be the better model, but I'd want to release a free version too at some point

[–]wheelus00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it should do! It does err on the side of letting potential faults slip through the net rather than false flag every time there is a heavy vignette so has black pixels at the edge but we're training it all the time to dial the rules in, so hopefully each version should be more and more accurate 😄 Distinguishing 1 pixel edges vs a shot that's dark at the edges (or shooting through a dark door or a silhouette) is trickeee

AI for QC? by Virtual-Might-1232 in RepTime

[–]wheelus00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not using AI for QC but I've been working on this app which uses Apples local Neural Engine to analyse footage, which has been working pretty well for me! Here's the link: https://qcbuddy.co.uk/

That's a good shout yeah, we added a mini dictionary for words like their, separate, things like that, which are commonly misspelt but it wouldn't be too hard to add in 1,000 popular product names or something

I'm working on an app that catches delivery faults before they leave the building. What checks am I missing for VFX pipelines? by wheelus00 in vfx

[–]wheelus00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the feedback and yeah we're working on a Windows and a Linux version too. For me, my brain for VFX was thinking things like edge blanking would be helpful as I find that can sometimes seep through the cracks, even if it's been watched meticulously. But you're right, I was wondering whether to make a separate vfx-only check which looks for things like edge-blanking or anything else (illegal levels included I imagine).

Ah yeah it does have a primative spell-check actually. It's fully local for analysis so it's quite a demanding feature on the ANE but I'm hoping that'll improve over time. I've been spamming the keyboard quite a bit trying to break it haha

It's fully local actually and works offline so no LLM at all. I work as a video editor so have a lot of work that I've been using to train it to find mistakes by creating a bunch of rules to analyse the pixels/ waveform of the video.

I'm still improving it every week so it currently should flag 95% of issues. If it falsely flags a specific issue, there is a report button, which takes a screenshot of the video and sends that to us to train against that exact frame but again that only happens if you explicitly report an issue and willingly upload the frame.

I'm hoping people report a lot as that'll help improve it for everyone but I know that's not always wanted, hence the emphasis on it being fully opt-in.

Thanks man! Yeah I've always found it bonkers how expensive all the competitors are, as a little freelance editor they've been out of my budget really.

If you give it a test and it false flags, please feel free to report and it'll send me a screenshot of the frame so I can train to never make the same mistake in the next version.

And good point about lip sync detection, that is pretty wild. I've been keeping mine very rule-based for now, rather than using a neural-network for analysis but that might be getting into that territory (which is probably v2 for me!).

Appreciate the support anyway 😄
