Re: does anyone currently fail colour contrast for text in timed media

Thanks Glenda

Hey Gregg, I'll loop you in.

Yes, I agree audio description (or transcript) should reflect important
visual information including text, but I'm thinking about 1.4.3 Colour
contrast of text in movies ... In this case it's yellow text on the
whiteboard in an animated movie.

Here's my take.

1.4.3 applies to "images of text" which have been "rendered in a non-text
form *in order to achieve a particular effect* ..."

So the glossary is assigning an intention to the creation of the text. The
author put it in an image because she wanted it in a special font, or a
special position in relation to a background which might have been hard to
do with CSS etc... This is not the case for a movie. Authors rarely make
movies with the intention of achieving a particular text effect.

I haven't been watching movies looking for colour contrast failures of
significant text. I was wondering if any others (Glenda, Jon, John, Gregg,
etc.) would agree.

Cheers,
David MacDonald
