Video approval checklist

Timecoded feedback beats email bullets. This checklist ensures clients approve the exact master — not a vague "final-ish" cut.

Video approval checklist

Confirm every item on the master export before sign-off:

  • Picture lock: visuals match approved direction
  • Audio levels, music licensing, and VO pronunciation
  • Captions / subtitles if in scope
  • Correct aspect ratio and duration
  • Legal supers, disclaimers, and brand end card
  • Export format matches milestone spec (ProRes, H.264, etc.)
  • Revision rounds consumed within contract limit

Bind approval to the master file

Approval Lock must reference the submitted export version. Zlaip Review Workspace ties timecoded comments and approval to the same cut.
