How to review a vertical crop across an entire video

Follow the important subject through each shot and check what the crop removes.

Start with a clear direction

Inspect faces, hands, product edges and signs while they move. Request a revised composition where the crop hides an action or changes the context.

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.

An instruction to make your own

Use this direction for my video: Inspect faces, hands, product edges and signs while they move. Request a revised composition where the crop hides an action or changes the context. Do not approve the crop from a single thumbnail; the decisive movement may happen later.

Check the detail that matters

Do not approve the crop from a single thumbnail; the decisive movement may happen later.

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.
