Community Evaluation
Phase 1: Image Quality
Judging Criteria

Read this post for information about Community Evaluation.

In this phase, we're only evaluating video quality:
✅ = video quality is acceptable
🚫 = video quality is too low

It’s not important whether you like the video, whether it is expressive or related to any emotion at all – that will be covered in the next phase.

Before you begin, study the examples above.

Good quality reaction videos:

1. Have crisp, high image quality. No visible compression artifacts, no pixelation, etc.
✅ Good Examples (cartoons), 🚫 Bad Examples (cartoons)

2. Have good contrast and color balance. Not too dark – unless darkness is fundamental for the depicted scene.
✅ Good Example, 🚫 Bad Examples

3. Fit their frame perfectly – without black bars and without squishing or stretching the image.
🚫 Bad Examples

4. May have barely noticeable lines on the borders.
