How to compare a first cut with its revision

Compare the requested change first, then review the rest of the sequence for unintended differences.

Start with a clear direction

Use the same checklist for both versions: opening, sequence, exact text, framing, speech and ending. Record the version that is ready for the next review.

Put it into your edit

Open your edit and find the moment you want to change. Describe the new result in the revision chat. Select an editable element when the preview offers it, and include exact replacement wording for text changes.

An instruction to make your own

Use this direction for my video: Use the same checklist for both versions: opening, sequence, exact text, framing, speech and ending. Record the version that is ready for the next review. An improved title does not make the rest of the video automatically approved.

Check the detail that matters

An improved title does not make the rest of the video automatically approved.

Keep the next change focused

Name the moment, say what should change and describe what you want to keep. For a title, supply the replacement words. For pacing, identify the shot that needs more or less time. Play the surrounding sequence after the revision to hear and see how the change fits.
