A practical checklist for turning a recording into a clear short clip. Use it with any editor. Keep the original media and review the actual exported file before sharing.

## Items

### 1. [1. Keep the original recording](https://listium.com/@jpgtosvg/151462/six-checks-before-sharing-a-short-video/0/1-keep-the-original-recording)

Item ID: `0`

- Notes: work on a copy and retain the source clip, audio and graphics you have permission to use.

### 2. [2. Settle the cut](https://listium.com/@jpgtosvg/151462/six-checks-before-sharing-a-short-video/1/2-settle-the-cut)

Item ID: `1`

- Notes: keep a clear opening and a complete ending; remove only the material that does not help the viewer follow the action.

### 3. [3. Check the destination frame](https://listium.com/@jpgtosvg/151462/six-checks-before-sharing-a-short-video/2/3-check-the-destination-frame)

Item ID: `2`

- Notes: cropping removes part of the picture; resizing changes output dimensions. Check faces, labels and controls at the final display size.

### 4. [4. Recheck caption timing](https://listium.com/@jpgtosvg/151462/six-checks-before-sharing-a-short-video/3/4-recheck-caption-timing)

Item ID: `3`

- Notes: after trimming an opening, compare the first, middle and final captions with the edited clip. Some editors already shift captions, so check before applying another offset.

### 5. [5. Listen through the whole clip](https://listium.com/@jpgtosvg/151462/six-checks-before-sharing-a-short-video/4/5-listen-through-the-whole-clip)

Item ID: `4`

- Notes: keep speech intelligible, review music levels and make sure the ending does not cut off a word.

### 6. [6. Open the downloaded file](https://listium.com/@jpgtosvg/151462/six-checks-before-sharing-a-short-video/5/6-open-the-downloaded-file)

Item ID: `5`

- Notes: watch the actual export from start to finish. Check framing, captions and audio; if supplying an SRT separately, test it with the same final video.
