Frequently asked questions
- Why does this need the downloaded file, not just YouTube?
- YouTube re-encodes and can normalize signal levels, so below-black and range-sensitive patterns are only accurate in the original downloaded file.
- What's a range mismatch look like?
- Crushed black detail, clipped whites, or a washed-out/over-contrasted image are typical signs of a full vs. limited range mismatch.
