Confidence Check

A 'confidence check' in the context of a conform for a colour grade refers to a thorough review process undertaken to ensure that the conformed sequence aligns perfectly with the original edit.

It's a critical step to guarantee that all clips are in the correct order, that there are no missing or extra frames, and that the sequence matches the intended look and feel of the project. This check provides the colourist and the post-production team the 'confidence' that the sequence is ready for grading, ensuring the integrity of the final output.
