Wobbly may be able to accurately decimate that for you.
If the pattern remains the same,
there is no reason to do this.

## Scenes that are likely to silently fail

Wobbly is reliant on the metrics it is fed,
and those metrics do not always perform well in scenes
with low-contrast combing or with a very slow pan/zoom.
An example of the former scene is a scene with rain and no other animation.
Depending on what pattern guessing method you used,
Wobbly may not mark these types of scenes as having an ambiguous pattern,
meaning that they will fail silently and you will not know
that there is a problem that you need to fix.
These scenes also usually cannot be caught by looking at combed frames,
high-mic frames, or frames with high dmetrics.
There is no solution to this other than to pay close
attention to those types of scenes when you are QCing your encode.
You need to understand the metrics being used
and use that knowledge to predict failure.
Looking at the metrics in the overlay can assist your understanding.
