Choose the destination aspect ratio. Decide whether the course player uses 16:9, portrait, or another frame before cropping. Keep the presenter’s face, key slide content, and captions inside the safe area. Do not crop away important information. Cropping can be a reasonable design choice when it preserves the lesson, but it should not conceal attribution or licensing information that must remain visible. Rebuild titles and captions consistently. Use the same type scale, margins, caption placement, and contrast rules across lessons. Avoid placing new labels directly over a repaired region, since that can make later quality checks harder. Preserve legibility at player size. Preview the clip on a typical laptop screen and, where relevant, a phone. Small interface details and fine text can look different after resizing or compression. Export a review copy. Keep the cleaned file, final course-layout version, and original master as separate versions. Use clear filenames so reviewers can distinguish them without opening every file.
Before placing HeyGen training clips into a learning management system, onboarding module, or branded course, take time to review the footage and prepare it for its new layout. A small visible platform mark can become distracting when a clip is cropped, resized, or placed beside course navigation and captions. The right workflow starts with permissions and source files, then checks the mark’s position, the background behind it, and the way the cleaned clip behaves across time. It also helps to separate visual cleanup from course design: first assess whether a mark can be removed appropriately, then standardize aspect ratio, titles, captions, and spacing. This checklist is intended for footage you own or are authorized to edit, and it prioritizes careful review over assuming that automated cleanup will always look natural.
