Video Debug Tool

The Video Debug Tool analyzes video specifications, container/codec details, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, and available logs to identify common playback and encoding problems. It applies domain heuristics to flag issues such as A/V sync drift, frame drops, or bitrate/resolution mismatches, and to propose concrete corrective actions. By standardizing inputs and producing a structured diagnostic report, it helps editors, QA engineers, and streaming operators quickly locate root causes and validate fixes. Core features include multi-field input validation, a rule-based scoring system, and a generated recommendations list that can be adopted in production pipelines. Use cases span pre-flight checks before publishing, post-production review, and pipeline verification after format changes. The tool differentiates itself by combining codec-agnostic diagnostics with codec-specific guidance, enabling consistent results across formats such as MP4/H.264 or MKV/H.265. It supports both basic checks and advanced metadata analysis, including color space and HDR considerations when provided. Outputs emphasize actionable steps, risk levels, and estimated effort to resolve, enabling teams to prioritize fixes in tight release windows.
