1. Agree the promise and outline
Write the viewer's question and the working title. Identify what the opening promises and which source passages fulfil it. Group the material into a logical sequence before selecting effects. If a demonstration is missing, request it while recording is still practical.
- Audience and prior knowledge defined.
- Opening matches the actual content.
- Source manifest and correction log supplied.
- Required diagrams and screen recordings identified.
2. Approve a rough assembly
Review order, repetition and missing context. Let important explanations breathe and remove setup that does not help the viewer. B-roll should establish, demonstrate or clarify something; it should not merely conceal a weak argument. Keep feedback focused on structure at this stage.
- Every section contributes to the main question.
- Claims have approved support.
- Transitions preserve meaning.
- Conclusion answers the opening promise.
3. Finish the approved structure
Add the agreed graphics, captions and sound treatment. Check specialist vocabulary and the readability of screen captures. Review at the intended viewing size. Confirm any chapter suggestions or thumbnail assets separately so the delivery list remains unambiguous.
- Names and captions checked.
- Music and visual rights confirmed.
- Audio and colour reviewed.
- Clean or captioned versions match the brief.
4. Test the export and learn
Watch the exported file from start to finish and inspect a test upload for compression and readability. After publication, use audience feedback to identify confusing sections and useful topics for the next brief. Treat retention patterns as clues rather than proof that a single editorial choice caused the result.
