CREATIVE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Find a strong moment without changing what a speaker meant or assuming reuse rights.

For work involving candidate timestamps, excerpts, and context from videos approved for editing, check the facts and permissions before taking the next step. Prepare candidate clip ranges with surrounding context for an editor to compare with the complete video. A public video may still be protected, and a short excerpt can omit a qualification or misrepresent a speaker. Confirm permission and speaker consent, verify timestamps against the full source, preserve attribution, and require the rights holder to approve each edit and destination.

Keep in mind

Protect references and unpublished work, and remove unnecessary files.

Keep release with a named owner

Require a person to approve each final asset, caption, audience, and destination.
