videoQC File Analysis

videoQC can  analyze a video file, and produce PDF, CSV, XML, and HTML reports, along with marker files for editors, and proxy files for viewing. Here are details on the process.

videoQC file analysis results can be made available in the form of an exported PDF, CSV, XML, and/or HTML report. There are also options to export markers for Avid and Adobe editors, and to export a proxy file for low bandwidth viewing. Here are details on the export process.

This opens the Export Types window.

Click the available checkboxes to select the type of report you want to produce. Details of the analysis can be output as any or all of the following types: PDF, CSV, XML, or HTML. videoQC can export a proxy file for low bandwidth review and as a reference file for the analysis. Markers can also be created for Avid, Adobe, and Resolve/OpenFX editors.

Create Proxy will export a low resolution MP4 so you can include it along with any reports as a reference. (If you would like to export your clip to other formats, or create subclips, make data requests etc. please view the following page: Exporting from videoQC)

The reports, proxy files, and editor marker files will be created in the same directory as the file being analyzed. If you have selected a proxy file, a progress window is displayed to mark the progress of the proxy file creation.
