Online Conform & QC

Here is how this works in practice. Online conform and quality control for productions finishing in Ireland routes through the dedicated finishing rooms at Egg Post Dublin (DaVinci Resolve Studio + Baselight conform with full QC bench). Windmill Lane Dublin, Framestore Dublin, and Yellowmoon Belfast for Northern Ireland projects. The conform stage rebuilds the edit timeline from camera-first media (ARRIRAW, RED R3D, Sony Venice X-OCN, Blackmagic RAW) against the locked offline Avid Media Composer or Adobe Premiere Pro cut, replacing proxies with full-resolution sources, reconnecting VFX shot replacements from Framestore Dublin. Egg Post VFX. Boulder Media.

Here is the short of it. Mac Guff Dublin, and the cross-border subcontract chain via London (Framestore, DNEG, MPC, Cinesite), restoring camera-native color metadata for ACES + ARRI Reveal grading pipelines, and verifying every frame-accurate edit decision against the EDL/AAF/XML round-trip. The bench has conformed Banshees of Inisherin, The Quiet Girl, Belfast (Branagh), Normal People. The Wonder. Vikings (eight seasons of County Wicklow and County Dublin photography), and the big Game of Thrones-era The North slate. With Common Travel Area cross-border routing into London's Goldcrest Post, Molinare, and Picture Shop for prestige global co-productions finishing.

Here is the breakdown. Quality control runs Interra Baton, Tektronix Aurora, and Venera Pulsar for automated file-based QC checking video and audio compliance against Netflix Ireland office Originals Delivery Specs, HBO Max, Disney+. Apple TV+. Amazon Prime Video, and Sky Ireland Originals sites specs. Coimisiún na Meán + RTÉ Tech-Ops broadcast spec, BBC Northern Ireland and BBC iPlayer specs, Virgin Media Television specs, TG4 Irish-language TV networks specs, and the relevant DPP (Digital Production Partnership) UK broadcast deliverable standard.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Manual QC eyes-on review checks for boom-shadows, focus drift, hot pixels, dust busting, sync drift, dropout, banding, and color-management errors across the full timeline. IMF (Interoperable Master Format) deliveries are built in DaVinci Resolve and Marquise Mist for the streaming sites. With QC reports. Error logs, frame-accurate fix lists, and revision rounds documented through to delivery. IFI (Irish Film Archive) preservation copies, theatrical DCP for Cineworld Ireland, Light House Cinema Dublin. IMC Cinemas, and Movies@Dundrum, and Galway Film Fleadh / Dublin Global / Cork Global festival circuit packages ship alongside sites masters.
