Hi Ghtais,

eFF is a loudness correction QC tool. It will analyse the video, almost in real-time according to the parameters Such as choosing the EBU standard USA or UK. as I am in the UK its set to the UK standard.

It is similar to baton, but the output only tells you the issue with the audio loudness. Once it analyses a video file, it outputs the content in a PDF with some graphs as well as showing the audio graph.

Unlike baton where it checks the configuration of the video file and checks for freeze frames and other sorts, this just checks the loudness of the audio file.

Ok, so abul, when you transwrap, the loudness function does not work, is that correct? Is so, can you again export and post the workflow?

Hi Steinar,

I have uploaded the updated workflow. Sometimes when I pass an MP4 file through, it works, other time like when passing an MXF through, it does not work.

Hi,
just did a quick test and using "Transwrap if possible" Setting in XDCAMHD node works for me along with audio normalisation...

Hi emcodem,

I used the workflows you have given. The problem i have seen currently.

when the end text file is generated, it says that the pair of audio is -23, however, when checking on eFF, it says its -26??

could this be a bug??
