Every category of problem, covered

From waveform clipping to shaky handheld shots, EditLint AI has a dedicated detector for each failure mode professional editors care about.

Audio: 6 detectors
Audio Clipping Detects waveform saturation above –0.5 dBFS. Even brief clips get flagged.
Low Audio Level Flags clips that average below –24 LUFS, inaudible on mobile speakers.
Audio Dropout Catches sudden interruptions, missing frames and corrupt audio.
Background Noise Measures noise floor vs. speech signal; flags poor SNR recordings.
Audio Sync Detects lip-sync drift by comparing audio transients to video motion.
Stereo Imbalance Flags L/R level discrepancies that will sound uneven on stereo speakers.
Video: 6 detectors
Shaky Footage Optical-flow shake analysis flags handheld shots needing stabilisation.
Overexposure Detects blown highlights (>252 luma) sustained across multiple frames.
Underexposure Flags shots with median luma below 30, indicating crush or sensor noise.
Out of Focus Laplacian variance detects soft or front-focused shots frame by frame.
Frame Drop Catches duplicate or missing frames that cause stuttering playback.
Color Cast Measures per-channel histogram shift; flags strong magenta, green or cyan bias.
Speech: 5 detectors
Filler Words AI transcription detects "um", "uh", "like", "you know" and custom terms.
Long Pauses Flags silences longer than your configured threshold in speech segments.
Repeated Phrases Catches false starts and word repetitions using transcript n-gram matching.
Low Intelligibility Whisper AI confidence score below threshold. May need a retake or subtitle.
Crosstalk Multi-track detection of overlapping speech from different speakers.
Visual: 4 detectors
Bad Framing Face detection checks for heads cut off, eyes below centre, too much headroom.
Missing Lower Third Detects interview-style shots where a name or title graphic is expected but absent.
Logo/Watermark Flags persistent on-screen watermarks from stock or camera manufacturer.
Aspect Ratio Error Identifies mixed-ratio clips (e.g. 9:16 phone footage in a 16:9 sequence).
Timeline Markers

Color-coded by severity. Impossible to miss.

Every issue EditLint AI finds gets placed as a native timeline marker at the exact timecode where the problem occurs. Markers are prefixed [EditLint] so they're visually distinct from your own notes and never confused with your creative markers.

Markers are color-coded by severity level. You can filter by category in the QC panel, jump straight to any issue, mark it as resolved and clear all EditLint markers in a single click once the QC pass is approved.

  • Markers placed at exact problem timecode
  • Prefixed [EditLint], never conflicts with editor's own markers
  • Filter by Audio / Video / Speech / Visual in the panel
  • Mark individual issues as Resolved to track progress
  • Clear all EditLint markers in one click after client sign-off
Severity Levels
High: must fix
Audio clipping, out-of-focus, frame drop. Unacceptable to deliver.
Medium: review
Shaky footage, exposure issues, bad framing. Likely needs attention.
Low: awareness
Filler words, background noise, slight color cast. Monitor or fix.
Info: FYI
Informational notes, missing lower thirds, aspect ratio mix. No action required.
