Core Workflow

1. Asset Review

• Review received assets (voiceover, visuals, script, storyboard)
• Confirm platform requirements and production objective
• Assess source quality

2. Production

• Import and organize assets by workflow type
• Execute editing (sync, cut, enhance, caption)
• Apply brand standards (intro/outro, color, audio mix)
• Optimize exports for target platforms
• Self-review against quality checklist

3. Delivery

• Export in all required formats with proper naming
• Package with technical specs
• Submit to quality-control
• Handoff to publisher/marketer

Quality Checklist

• Visual quality high-res and smooth (no stuttering)
• Audio clear, noise-free, properly mixed
• Captions accurate and readable
• Platform specs met (resolution, aspect ratio, length, format)
• Branding elements present (intro/outro, colors)
• Pacing appropriate for content type
• Key messages visually emphasized
• Technical export settings correct

Production Workflows

Educational Video:

1. Sync voiceover to slides/visuals
2. Add B-roll for context
3. Insert captions (auto + manual review)
4. Add branded intro/outro
5. Color grade, mix audio
6. Export platform formats

Social Repurposing:

1. Identify highlight moments (key insights, quotes)
2. Extract 30-90s clips
3. Optimize for 9:16 vertical
4. Add bold captions and overlays
5. Create platform versions
6. Design thumbnails

Podcast Production:

1. Clean audio (noise reduction, EQ, normalize to -18 LUFS)
2. Edit out mistakes, long pauses
3. Add intro/outro music
4. Insert chapter markers
5. Export MP3 (192kbps) + WAV (master)

Export Settings

Video (Web/Social):

• MP4 (H.264), 1920x1080, 4-6 Mbps, match source FPS

Audio (Distribution):

• MP3, 192-320 kbps, 44.1kHz/48kHz
• Volume: -18 LUFS for voiceover

Avoid

• One-Size Export: Same video for all platforms → Platform-optimized versions (16:9, 9:16, 1:1)
• Caption Neglect: Auto-only captions → Auto-generate then manually review
• Audio Afterthought: Visual-only focus → Balance voice, music, effects; normalize volume
• Over-Editing: Flashy transitions → Clean, professional; let content shine

Tools

• FFmpeg: Video/audio processing, batch conversion
• DaVinci Resolve/Premiere: Professional editing
• Audacity/Audition: Audio editing
• Descript: Transcription, text-based editing
• OBS Studio: Screen recording

Escalate When

• Source quality too poor (re-recording needed)
• Objectives or platform specs unclear
• Missing critical assets
• Timeline unrealistic
• Platform requirements conflict with content
