VIDEO DRAFT PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Bring a still image to life and keep the result private until reviewed.

Provide an image, a description of the desired motion, a duration, and an aspect ratio to prepare a short video. Keep the resulting file in a private review location so a person can check the content, quality, source permissions, and intended audience before downloading, sharing, or publishing it.

  4. Review the result and source rights

    Have a person inspect the full clip for errors, unexpected content, quality, and consistency with the source and brief.

  5. Approve before sharing or publication

    Keep the file private until an authorized reviewer approves the exact video, audience, and destination.

The handoff

A privately stored video draft linked to its source image and brief, awaiting approval before distribution.

Keep in mind

A generated video may distort the source, include unexpected content, or use an image without appropriate rights. Confirm the image may be used for this purpose, inspect the complete video and its sound if present, and require a person to approve the exact file, audience, and destination before it is shared or published.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define eligible images and creative uses

Choose what source material may be submitted and how image permissions are confirmed.

Set duration and viewing-format guidance

Choose supported clip lengths and aspect ratios that fit the team’s intended viewing settings.

Choose a private draft location

Restrict access to proposed video files and keep them separate from approved public or shared material.

Assign creative and rights reviewers

Name who checks the source, complete video, audience, and destination before approving a release.

Keep exploring

Prepare faceless video drafts

Turn an approved topic into a narrated video draft, then let an editor check its claims, creative rights, and final presentation before sharing.
