Define the variable being tested
If the goal is to compare hooks, keep the main body and offer consistent across the first set. If the offer changes too, record that as a different test. Give variants readable names that connect the export to the hypothesis. This makes feedback more useful than a folder full of files named final, final-two and final-new.
Keep proof and claims aligned
Use only approved demonstrations, testimonials and product statements. Do not cut a qualification away from a claim or use a reaction from an unrelated moment as proof. Confirm usage rights for creator footage, music and paid placements before the timeline is finalized. Review the landing-page promise alongside the video's call to action.
Prepare placement-specific versions
A crop can move a product label or disclosure out of view. Review each aspect ratio independently and keep essential text readable for its placement. Confirm whether clean masters, captioned exports, alternate endings and thumbnails are included. Ad account setup, campaign operation and results analysis require their own scope.
Prepare a reviewable brief
Identify source files, required outputs and one approval owner. Review the structure before the finish; use the linked preparation and feedback resources to organize that handoff.
Request a scoped quotation
Share a representative recording and the output list. Confirm timing, revisions, licensing and delivery in writing. Existing short-form package prices do not automatically cover other formats.
Connect the creative idea to approved proof
An ad sequence should make clear what is being offered and why the supporting material is relevant. A demonstration can show a task; a testimonial describes an individual's approved experience; a product label states particular information. Do not interchange those forms of proof or let a new opening imply more than the body supports.
Supply the current offer, approved claims and landing-page context. If the message changes during editing, review the whole sequence rather than replacing only the end card. A truthful CTA needs a coherent relationship with the opening, demonstration and destination.
Create variants that can be identified later
Use a simple matrix for hook, body, proof and CTA. Assign a readable version ID to each combination and preserve the relationship in the export manifest. If the intended test changes only the opening, keep the remaining creative stable where practical. If several elements change, record them as a broader variation.
Review every combination for meaning. A hook that works with one demonstration may overstate another; a portrait crop may hide a disclosure visible in the wide version. Approval of individual source clips does not automatically approve every assembled variant.
Agree the boundary between creative and campaign work
Editing can deliver approved creative files and a clear version record. Ad account setup, targeting, budget decisions and attribution are separate responsibilities unless included in the agreement. Do not assume a creative quote also covers media buying or ongoing campaign optimization.
When reviewing performance, keep changes in audience, spend, offer and landing page visible. Those conditions affect interpretation. The editing process can support a purposeful test and readable message, but it cannot guarantee leads, sales or a particular return.

What needs approval before an ad is edited?
