Treat the first cut as a proposal
An automatic edit can organise footage, but it does not know every reason a moment matters. Evaluate the draft against the story you intended. Check the current feature in the official app because availability and controls can change. Do not assume a tutorial describes your version.
Review the sequence without music
Watch whether the images alone explain the point. Restore a setup shot if the result no longer makes sense, and remove a transition that distracts from the product. Then add sound and check the cut again. Music should support the explanation rather than conceal a weak sequence.
Check before exporting
Read every caption, confirm product names and inspect the opening and ending. Keep a copy of the source footage so you can revise the edit later. A useful first draft saves selection time while leaving you responsible for the final message.
Your next brief
Put these decisions in writing before you start production. A short brief gives the creator and reviewer the same standard to work towards. Keep the approved source material with the final file so the next version can build on the work rather than start again.
- Story. Confirm the sequence delivers the intended idea.
- Details. Review captions, names and product visibility.
- Version. Save the approved export separately from the draft.
