The handoff

A previewable video built from the selected story, narration, visual scenes, and timed captions. The finished video is not published to a social account.

Keep in mind

Use only material you own or have permission to repurpose. A person should check the story, rights, narration, captions, and final visuals; publishing is a separate human action.
