Practical guide

Check whether a recorded preview preserves important details

A recorded preview should be checked for the details the buyer needs, not only for whether the file opens and plays.

A recorded preview should be checked for the details the buyer needs, not only for whether the file opens and plays.

A practical procedure

  1. Choose specific checkpoints such as a label, a connector and the smallest printed condition.

  2. Review those moments in the exported file at normal playback and intended phone size.

  3. If a detail disappears, change the shot duration, framing or export setup and check the new file.

Worked example: a fictional session

A fictional reviewer can read a capacity label in the editor but not in the final phone playback, so the team records a longer close-up.

Check the limits

An export setting cannot restore a detail that was already out of focus in the source.
