Online conform and quality control finishing in France
Here is how this works in practice. Online conform sits at the most unforgiving point in the post pipeline. Picture lock has been signed off, the grade is complete, VFX shots from BUF, Mac Guff, and Mikros are dropping in, and every frame has to be assembled at full resolution against frame-accurate edit decision lists. Our conform artists in Paris and Lyon work in DaVinci Resolve Studio and Baselight with ACES color running, pulling ARRIRAW, RED R3D, and Sony RAW originals from secure storage and rebuilding the timeline to match the offline cut frame for frame.
Here is the short of it. Quality control then runs both automated and manual passes against the specs that matter — Netflix NAS, Apple ProRes 4444 XQ, Amazon Prime Video, France Télévisions, BBC, EBU R128 loudness, SMPTE gamut, and theatrical IMF DCP needs. Detailed QC reports flag every concern with frame-specific timecodes, and any issue is resolved before the master ships. The result is first-pass acceptance from TV networks and sites QC departments — dropping the rejection-and-redelivery cycles that derail tight transmission and release schedules.
