SHORT-FORM VIDEO · Workflow idea

Make a short video worth watching—and clear to share.

For a creator with permission to use the selected footage and audio, assemble a vertical short with text overlays and a proposed caption. Check copyright, likeness consent, platform rules, and the accuracy of any claims or subtitles. Keep drafts private, verify the final crop and sound, and require an accountable editor to approve the exact video and destination before upload.

The handoff

A review-ready video draft with source, rights, caption, and release-approval notes.

Keep in mind

A public video or audio track is not automatically free to reuse, and a rendered clip can crop important context or imply an unapproved endorsement. Confirm permissions for every source and recognizable person, check text and sound in the complete draft, and do not upload until a responsible person approves the exact asset.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define accepted media and usage scope

Document approved sources, license terms, attribution, likeness permission, and allowed destinations.

Keep source files and drafts private

Restrict access to downloaded media and remove temporary copies when no longer needed.

Set checks for text, sound, and context

Review claims, captions, crop, audio, and any disclosure that viewers need.

Pause publication for editor approval

Require a named owner to approve the final cut and channel before any upload.
