VIDEO PRE-PRODUCTION · Workflow idea

Turn a rough video idea into a brief that is ready for creative review.

For a creator preparing a video concept, organize a plain-language idea into structured production directions and format settings. A more detailed prompt does not ensure that a finished video will be accurate, safe, or rights-cleared. Review people, locations, factual claims, and sensitive themes; avoid unauthorized likenesses and misleading depictions; and have a creator approve the final directions before any media is generated, published, or used commercially.

  4. Review safety and possible misrepresentation

    Check sensitive subjects, factual depictions, and whether viewers could mistake fiction for real events.

    Have the creator confirm the final directions and intended use before any media is made or shared.

Keep in mind

Structured directions may add details the creator did not intend, and generated media can misrepresent real people or events. Verify every detail, obtain necessary permissions, identify fictional or altered scenes where appropriate, and approve the prompt before production or distribution.
