VIDEO ACCESSIBILITY · Workflow idea

Make video content easier to scan while keeping the recording as the source of truth.

For a person authorized to provide a video for analysis, prepare a written summary of visible scenes, objects, and actions. Explain how the video is processed and retained, obtain any required consent from people shown or heard, and avoid identifying individuals or inferring sensitive traits. Summaries can miss context or misdescribe a scene, so check them against the recording before publication or important decisions.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A video the requester may share and an explained, limited analysis purpose

“Make a video easier to review without turning visual observations into unverified claims about people.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Accepts an uploaded video and prepares a text description of what appears in the footage.

  1. Confirm ownership and permission to process

    Check that the requester may submit the footage and has addressed consent for people shown or heard.

  2. Limit the video to the stated purpose

    Review only the needed file and avoid unnecessary retention or redistribution.

  3. Prepare a neutral description of visible events

    Describe observable scenes without guessing identity, intent, or sensitive personal traits.

  4. Check the summary against the recording

    Verify important details and note gaps, uncertain moments, or missing context.

  5. Approve before sharing or relying on it

    Have a responsible reviewer confirm the summary and intended audience.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A written scene summary with source reference, privacy limits, and reviewer status.

The handoff

A written scene summary with source reference, privacy limits, and reviewer status.

Keep in mind

Visual summaries may omit events, misread actions, or infer details that are not visible. Obtain permission to process and share footage, protect recordings and transcripts, avoid biometric identification and sensitive inferences, and verify important descriptions against the original video.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Explain video processing and retention

Tell submitters how footage and summaries are handled and when they are removed.

Set consent and access boundaries

Restrict uploads and results to authorized people and obtain required permissions.

Avoid identity and sensitive-trait analysis

Limit summaries to relevant visible content and do not profile people in the footage.

Require a person to verify important descriptions

Keep publication and consequential use behind review against the original video.
