Is there a QC tool that detects flashing pixels in a frame?

[Jung-Ho KIM]

Hello.

I run a small post-production company.
When using the Arri Alexa, which primarily shoots, I occasionally experience flashing pixels (one frame) like the one attached.
Some cameras don't detect this, but with a more experienced Alexa, it seems to detect it quite often.
So far, I've been checking and removing them as I work, but I'm wondering if there's a QC tool that can detect this.

For short projects, it's possible to spot it after countless iterations, but for longer feature-length projects, a tool that can detect this would definitely be helpful.

Do you have any advice or helpful information?
Thank you in advance for your help.


The link below is an article I followed while searching for information. It's interesting, so let's take a look.

There are a number of companies that offer QC tools which include dead pixel detection, such as Telestream Vidchecker and QScan from LWKS.

These are not cheap to purchase and are usually used by larger post houses etc who can afford the cost. I think they may have temporary licences (eg. monthly) which you may be able to budget for.

We can also hope that Blackmagic adds these features in the future as it starts to employ more AI features. Grant Petty suggested new AI tools (such as set extension) were coming, with a possible additional pricing structure.

QScan is not $$$ and is PPU.
