Picture-change review for audio description
When picture changes, audio description needs another look.

The silent walkthrough introduces four manual review examples: a new action without a cue, a timing shift, a changed object, and a removed action. The review cases below provide the findings in text with frames and human decision fields.
Four review examples from three picture edits. Choose a finding to inspect its frames, cue text and timings.
No existing cue
An inserted storyboard image depicts an envelope above a tray. No original cue covers it.
The insertion boundary is original 00:10. The original reference frame at 00:12 is shown for context, not as a matched replacement for the inserted shot.
Decide whether the new action merits audio description, then inspect available speech space in a real programme.
C02: "He crosses the hall."
The storyboard picture is retained. The insertion moves the cue four seconds later.
The same picture appears at a different time. The wording may still fit.
Review the proposed retiming and recorded-audio placement. No script or recording has been automatically changed.
C03: "She picks up a key."
The revised storyboard shows an envelope where the original picture showed a key. The cue text no longer describes that object.
This is a hand-prepared still-image replacement, not evidence of motion understanding.
Review the wording, timing and recording required for the revised picture.
C04: "He closes the door."
The four-second door-closing storyboard shot has been removed. The existing cue needs review.
The revised reference frame shows the material after the deletion. It is not a replacement for the removed action.
Decide whether to remove or revise the cue and its recording. Check the surrounding sequence before making the change.
The insertion shifts retained material four seconds later until the deletion restores the original timing. Wording, retiming, recording, dialogue space, and mixing remain human decisions.
Both timelines are two minutes at 24 frames per second. They are silent sequences of storyboard stills. Their equal length does not mean the cues still line up.

A four-second insertion, an object replacement, and a four-second deletion.
These are hand-prepared edits. Inspect the case viewer for the exact changes; the clips do not demonstrate automatic detection.
A frame. A cue.
A decision for a person.
The examples above pair frames with cue text, original and revised timings, and a decision for a human reviewer. This report excerpt shows how those findings can be presented for review.
