VIDEO-TO-ARTICLE PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Give a useful video a thoughtful second life as a draft article.

Start with a video the team is allowed to use and prepare a transcript-based article draft with a proposed title, description, and supporting image. Keep the video and draft together so an editor can verify quotations, claims, permissions, and search wording, then approve the exact content and recipient before it is emailed, published, or shared.

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps content teams reshape permitted video material into an article draft they can edit and verify before use.

  1. Confirm the video may be repurposed

    Check that the team has permission to use the recording, transcript, speakers, and any included material for the intended article.

  2. Gather the available transcript and source

    Keep the original video reference alongside the words used to prepare the draft and mark missing or unclear passages.

  3. Prepare an article and supporting image

    Organize the main ideas into a proposed title, description, readable article, and illustrative image.

  4. Verify the draft against the full video

    Have an editor check quotations, factual claims, tone, image rights, accessibility, and search-focused wording.

  5. Approve before sending or publishing

    Require approval of the exact article, image, recipient or audience, and destination before it is emailed, published, or shared.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

Keep in mind

A transcript can miss context and a draft may introduce claims, quotations, or imagery that do not accurately represent the video. Verify the complete article and image against the source, check reuse rights and search claims, and require an editor to approve the exact material and recipient before email, publication, or other sharing.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose eligible video sources

Define which recordings may be used and who confirms permission for each intended use.
