How to prepare an edited video for social upload

Review the final file, then check the destination’s current publishing requirements before uploading it yourself.

Start with a clear direction

Confirm the intended canvas, readable text and complete ending. Prepare the caption, cover and destination-specific wording outside the editing brief as needed.

Put it into your edit

Open the downloaded MP4 alongside your brief. Watch the whole video, then return to the moment you want to improve. Turn that observation into a specific revision request.

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.
