Epilepsy warning plug-in for Final Cut Studio?
Posted by Michael Lansdell on December 3, 2007 at 12:58 pmDoes any one know of a good (or indeed any) plug-in for Final Cut Studio that will inform you if something in the image will trigger an epilepsy fit? I’d rather buy a plugin than have any more programmes returned! Shots of water in particular seem to cause trouble when things are getting tech-checked. Any ideas would be much appreciated, thank you!

December 3, 2007 at 3:13 pmAll the programmes receive a Harding test by the broadcaster, so there’s no real advantage of sending them off to someone else to do first.

Yep, makes perfect sense. Just like we have all our HDCAM masters for one network done at a third party location to have an extra set of eyes and ears on the Masters before they are shipped off. They’ve caught two mistakes in almost four years, but at least they were caught before the tapes got to the network.
if the network is failing you, makes sense to go to a third party company and like Peter says, you send the Certificate along with the masters.

I don’t think my boss is going to want to do that, but I’ll pass on the info. I’ve only just taken on the online post here but having looked at all the problems now I’ve been given the test result print outs it looks like it was luminance that was failing the tests, all sorted now.Many thanks!
