VIDEO NARRATION · Workflow idea

Give a video a clear story and a voice to match.

Review a selected video, identify its key moments, and prepare a narration script with a spoken version. Keep the footage and draft together so an editor can check the description, pacing, pronunciation, and rights before the audio is added to a public or internal video.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A video chosen by its owner for a voiceover draft

An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a creator prepare spoken narration for a video without writing and recording every draft by hand.

  1. Choose footage approved for narration

    Select a video that its owner has cleared for this use and note the audience and purpose of the finished recording.

  2. Identify the main visual moments

    Review the footage and note the scenes and changes a viewer needs to understand, without guessing at details that are not shown.

  3. Draft narration for the video

    Arrange the useful observations into a clear script that fits the footage and intended audience.

  4. Prepare a spoken recording

    Create a voiceover draft from the script and keep it with the source video for comparison.

  5. Review before adding the voiceover

    Have an editor check factual accuracy, timing, pronunciation, sound quality, and usage rights before approving the recording.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A draft narration and voiceover recording linked to the selected video, ready for editorial review before use.

The handoff

A draft narration and voiceover recording linked to the selected video, ready for editorial review before use.

Keep in mind

A narration may miss visual context, misstate what appears on screen, or use material without permission. Confirm the video and audio may be used, check every factual description and pronunciation against the footage, and have an editor approve the complete recording before it is published or shared.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Select video and audience rules

Choose eligible footage, intended audiences, and any content that should be excluded from narration.

Set narration style and length

Agree on the voice, tone, language, accessibility needs, and approximate length for a useful draft.

Choose a private review location

Keep the source video, script, and recording together where only the people responsible for review can access them.

Test representative footage

Check a short, fast-moving, and visually ambiguous example and confirm an editor can verify the complete narration before use.
