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.
