Here is how this works in practice. Online conform and quality control is the tech finishing process where edited sequences are rebuilt at full resolution, effects are rendered, and the final master is inspected frame-by-frame for tech errors. QC checks check color accuracy, audio sync, subtitle placement, and compliance with delivery specs.

Here is the short of it. We set up online conform and QC services with facilities equipped for your project's resolution and delivery format needs. Our team manages media delivery, tech specs, and error reporting to make sure your finished master meets the exacting standards of your distribution partners.

On Location

Online conform and QC for Chinese deliverables

Here is the layout. Online conform is the tech assembly stage where each creative decision made in offline edit, colour, VFX, and audio is rebuilt at full resolution against the high-quality source media — and on a typical Chinese feature or series, that means handling timelines that combine ARRIRAW and RED R3D from principal photography, Sony Venice X-OCN from VFX plates, MOV ProRes from drone units shooting Gobi or Yangtze aerials, and graphics packages prepared in Beijing or Shanghai motion-design houses.

Here is how this works in practice. Our post team runs the conform through Avid Symphony, Resolve Studio, or Baselight bays at Base FX Beijing, More VFX, Beijing Film Group Post, or iQIYI Post Production, with frame-accurate EDL and AAF reconstruction validated shot-by-shot against the locked picture before any finishing work starts.

Here is how the work shapes up. Quality control runs on the conformed master against the tech specs of each destination on the production's deliverable schedule. That spans NRTA broadcast spec for CCTV, Hunan TV, Dragon TV, and Phoenix TV ingest, iQIYI, Tencent Video, Youku, Mango TV, and Bilibili streaming profiles for domestic OTT, Netflix Originals or Amazon Studios specs for global SVOD versions, DCI compliance for Wanda Cinemas, CGV China, and Bona Cineplex theatrical packages, and EBU R128 or ATSC A/85 loudness for global networks.

Here is how it adds up. The picture on the ground is more specific. Automated QC through Interra Baton or Venera Pulsar runs alongside manual operator review covering frame-by-frame artefact detection, audio sync drift, subtitle timing, safe-area conformance, metadata completeness, and HDR static metadata for Dolby Vision or HDR10 deliverables. Issues are flagged with frame-specific timecodes so corrections happen before submission rather than as costly rejection cycles from the receiving TV networks.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is online conform and why is it important?

Here is the breakdown. Online conform is the process of assembling your final master from high-resolution source media, incorporating all creative decisions from offline editing, grading, VFX, and audio. It's key because it makes sure your delivery matches your OK'd offline edit with full resolution and quality.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. We check against all major broadcast and streaming sites specs including Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV+, BBC, EBU, and SMPTE standards. Our QC process covers video levels, audio loudness (R128, OP-59), sync, artifacts, and format compliance.

How do you handle VFX and graphics integration?

Here is how the picture comes together. We work with standardized VFX delivery formats and keep frame-accurate pull lists for shot replacement. Our conform artists check each VFX shot matches the timeline position and handles, making sure seamless integration with the final master.

Here is what we have to work with. We identify and address issues before final delivery whenever possible. Our detailed QC reports document any concerns with frame-specific timecodes, allowing for precise fixes. We work with your team to resolve issues efficiently and avoid rejection cycles.
