Checklist for Tod when uploading content to Youtube & socials

Video Production Checklist

Create the footage

  • Record video / performance
  • Verify video framing is good
  • Verify audio is good (no clipping, no dropouts, stereo isn't wonky)
  • Re-record until good
  • Sync video file to Mac
  • Post-produce video (reframe, fix color grade, add hipster effects)
