How to use it
- Before recording, list questions likely to produce useful moments. After recording, replace those ideas with actual source references; planned moments are not recorded excerpts.
- For every candidate, log the source file or sequence version, IN/OUT and timecode convention. Rewatch the surrounding passage and preserve any qualification necessary to keep the guest's meaning intact.
- Build a short edit that contains a question or premise, an answer and a useful conclusion. Check captions and titles against the source; obtain the agreed review before handing it to the person who publishes.
Review before handoff
- Every approved clip has a real source reference and checked IN/OUT, not a guessed timestamp.
- The edit retains the guest's meaning, necessary qualifications and correct attribution.
- Title, captions, intended uses and approval status are checked before manual publication.
Fictional worked example
Behind the Decision
An original teaching example, not a customer result. Reference filenames are illustrative; no source media is included.
- Source and timecode record
- BTD-EP01 / source file and sequence version pending / timecode convention to confirm / IN/OUT: unresolved. No interview has been recorded in this example; planning blocks from the rundown are not source timecodes.
- Candidate 1 — the decision
- Planned candidate: Sam explains what the crew chose to protect. Value: a concrete trade-off. Keep the setup explaining the constraint; do not caption a proposed answer as if Sam said it. Status: find in actual source, or reject if absent.
- Candidate 2 — the rejected alternative
- Planned candidate: why an attractive option was rejected. Retain the reason it was unavailable to this team; avoid a title claiming the option is always wrong. Source range and exact wording remain pending.
- Candidate 3 — the next-time check
- Planned candidate: the question Sam would ask before a future delay. Keep any stated exceptions in the clip or caption. If the answer is too dependent on missing context, use a longer excerpt or leave it out.
- Edit and packaging row
- Candidate 1 draft title: 'What did the crew protect when time ran short?' Final title depends on the recorded answer. Editor checks speaker attribution, complete sentences and whether the crop hides a relevant gesture; no finished clip or exact quote is supplied.
- Approval and release row
- Producer checks meaning against the full source and confirms intended clip use. Editor supplies versioned export; Rowan approves packaging. Destination and release date unresolved. Status stays draft until review; this worksheet does not upload or schedule a post.

The download includes these prompts plus project, version and approval fields. Duplicate rows when you need more coverage or episodes.
- Source and timecode record
- Record file/sequence name, version, timecode convention, exact IN/OUT and the reviewer who checked them.
- Candidate 1 — the decision
- Name the moment, its context, listener value and what must remain around it.
- Candidate 2 — the rejected alternative
- Describe the alternative and the surrounding qualification needed for a fair excerpt.
- Candidate 3 — the next-time check
- Identify a practical takeaway and the limits the guest gives it.
- Edit and packaging row
- For each candidate, record opening context, essential quote, ending, crop/caption checks and a truthful draft title.
- Approval and release row
- Assign fact/context review, guest-use confirmation, final filename, destination and publishing owner; distinguish approved from published.
