The QC Report

Generate a PDF quality control report to validate and deliver a project.

What Is a QC Report?

The QC (Quality Control) report is a PDF document that summarizes the state of a subtitling project. It's the deliverable that accompanies a finished subtitle file — it certifies compliance with standards and lists any remaining issues.

It is generated from the Tools > QC Report menu.

Report Contents

The report is structured in several sections:

Overall status — a one-word verdict:

StatusCondition
PASSNo errors, 5 or fewer warnings, compliance >= 90%
CONDITIONAL PASSMore than 5 warnings or compliance between 70 and 89%
FAILAt least one error

Project information — file name, standards profile used, video duration, number of detected scene cuts, generation date.

Overview — four visual indicators:

  • Compliance percentage (green, orange, or red depending on the score)
  • Number of issue-free entries
  • Total number of errors
  • Total number of warnings

Statistics — project metrics: total character and word count, average, median, minimum and maximum reading speed, average subtitle duration.

Issue details — a table listing each subtitle with an error or warning, along with its timecode, text, and the nature of the problem.

AI audit results — if an AI analysis has been performed, its findings are included in the report (detected issue, proposed suggestion).

Notes — each subtitle can receive a free-form annotation via the note icon in the action bar (in edit mode). These notes let you justify an editorial choice ("intentionally long voice-over"), flag a point of attention for a reviewer, or leave a memo for yourself. They are included in the QC report even if the entry has no validation issues — making them a communication tool between the subtitler and the supervisor.

The QC report is a multi-page PDF document, formatted for printing or email. It serves as a recognized quality control record in professional post-production workflows.
