Before work begins
Confirm what the project is meant to communicate and which inputs are ready. Ask the editor to flag missing or unusable material before committing the entire timeline to a structure. Record the quote's assumptions so later changes can be evaluated against them.
- Audience, purpose and CTA agreed.
- Source files received and checked.
- Rights and confidentiality notes supplied.
- Outputs, versions, schedule and revision scope confirmed.
- One feedback owner appointed.
Assembly review
Assess meaning before polish. Does the opening promise match the content? Are examples sufficient? Has a cut altered the speaker's meaning? Resolve missing explanations and sequence changes now, before detailed graphics and sound are built around them.
- Story order approved.
- Important qualifications retained.
- Missing shots or recordings identified.
- Names, facts and source references checked.
- Structural feedback consolidated.
Finishing review
Review captions against the spoken words and approved terminology. Inspect framing for each destination, especially where a crop affects a product, second speaker or screen demonstration. Listen for inconsistent levels or distracting cuts and check the actual export, not only the review player.
- Spelling, captions and lower thirds checked.
- Music and asset permissions confirmed.
- Colour and audio reviewed.
- Text remains readable on a small screen.
- CTA and offer details are current.
Delivery and archive
Compare the delivery folder with the agreed manifest. Open every master and confirm that each alternate version has its own correct ending and dimensions. Record the approval date and the person who accepted it. Keep old drafts separate so they cannot be published accidentally.
- All agreed outputs received.
- Final filenames and versions verified.
- Sample uploaded to the destination and reviewed.
- Caption files and clean masters included where agreed.
- Archive, access removal and project-file handover completed as scoped.
