SHORT VIDEO PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Turn a compelling discussion into a video an editor can check.

Choose a discussion that may be used for a content project and prepare a short story outline, narration, captions, and visual direction. Keep the source context close to the draft so an editor can check accuracy, privacy, permissions, and tone before sharing or publishing it.
