VIDEO CONTENT REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make the important moments in a video easier to understand.

Create a written description of a selected video, including its visible subjects, key actions, setting, and overall progression. Keep the description as a draft for an editor or media owner to compare with the original before using it for accessibility, cataloging, moderation, or any external communication.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps media teams and creators make video content easier to understand, search, and assess without watching every clip from start to finish.

  1. Select the video and its purpose

    Choose a video that the reviewer is authorized to assess and identify whether the description is for accessibility, cataloging, or internal review.

  2. Describe the scenes and key actions

    Organize the visible subjects, setting, sequence of events, and notable changes into a clear account.

  3. Include useful context without guessing

    Separate what is visible or audible from interpretation, and mark unclear details rather than presenting assumptions as facts.

  4. Check the description against the video

    Have an editor or media owner verify names, actions, timing, and any important contextual detail in the original.

  5. Approve the description before use

    Require a person to approve the exact wording and intended audience before publishing, sending, or relying on the description for moderation.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A readable account of the video’s scenes and notable details, ready for review against the original.

The handoff

A readable account of the video’s scenes and notable details, ready for review against the original.

Keep in mind

A written description can miss context, misidentify a subject, or misstate what happened. Have a person check important details against the original video, especially before making a moderation decision or publishing the description. Approve the exact wording and audience before any external message or public use.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Protect private media

Limit access to selected videos and their descriptions, and avoid retaining media beyond the approved purpose.

Assign editorial and moderation reviewers

Name who checks the description and who approves any external use or consequential moderation decision.
