Choose whether the clip is for ideation, an ad, a character scene, a product page, or a social post. The purpose should decide pacing and format.

AI Video Production Checklist for Better First Passes
Use this checklist before and after generation so prompts, references, review notes, and publishing metadata stay organized. It is designed for creators who want repeatable results rather than one-off experiments.
Before generation
Plan the clip before writing the prompt
Use text-to-video for exploration and image-to-video when identity, pose, product shape, or framing needs more control.
Collect source images, brand constraints, character notes, shot examples, and aspect ratio requirements before generation starts.
Decide what makes the output usable: stable subject, clear action, clean framing, readable product, or story continuity.
Review checklist
Check outputs like a producer
- Subject is recognizable and does not drift across the shot.
- Motion matches the requested action instead of adding unrelated movement.
- Camera direction supports the scene and does not hide the most important visual detail.
- Lighting and color fit the intended channel, brand, or story mood.
- Composition leaves room for captions, interface overlays, or product copy if needed.
- Metadata, title, description, and internal links are ready before the page or post goes live.
