How to review an MP4 before publishing

Watch the complete downloaded file with sound and inspect it at the size your audience will see.

Start with a clear direction

Check the start, every title, key actions and the last frame. Compare product details and spoken meaning with the source before moving to the upload step.

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.
