Run a final video check before launch day

Record the filename or stable asset reference, revision and intended destination. Reviewers must inspect the same file that will be published. A last-minute export can differ from the version everyone approved.

For an illustrative request-tool launch, the final proof scene should show the assigned owner and request title. A source preview may display those correctly while the exported file crops the title or contains an older closing line. The final artifact is the review target.

Inspect the file in sequence and pause on information-heavy frames. The following worksheet describes checks to perform; it does not claim that this example has been rendered.

• Product facts: compare the demonstrated controls, roles and result with the approved source.
• Copy: inspect the product name, example data, status labels, dates and any small conditions.
• Continuity: verify that the same request and owner remain identifiable across cuts.
• Reading: inspect the proof and CTA at the intended presentation size.
• Audio: listen to the encoded file for missing speech, abrupt edits and competing sound; also inspect essential meaning while muted.
• Visual defects: look for clipping, broken masks, one-frame changes and problematic flashes or abrupt movement.
• Destination: follow the real link and confirm that it supports the action shown.
• Availability: check that coming-soon, beta or released language is currently accurate.

Use a finding format with timestamp, observed problem, expected result, owner and retest evidence. “At 00:24 the closing frame says Start now, but the page is a waitlist” is more useful than “CTA issue.”

If a fix changes timing, review adjoining scenes and audio as well. If a new asset replaces a screen, confirm it still shows the same object and approved behavior. A correction can create a different problem outside the exact edited frame.

Keep publication approval separate from creative preference. An unsupported claim or broken destination needs resolution. A subjective preference for another transition can be recorded without obscuring the release-blocking issue.

After upload, inspect the actual public presentation when available. Player cropping, overlays and page layout can affect what viewers see. Do not call the launch verified solely because the local file played successfully.
