About This Resource

Delivering final video cuts to clients requires strict quality control to avoid embarrassing mistakes, unlinked assets, missing audio stems, or incorrect aspect ratios. This professional handoff checklist covers pre-delivery technical QC, file naming protocols, project archiving, and revision management.

What's Included

  • Comprehensive technical QC checklist: video glitch scan, audio sync, caption spelling, and color calibration
  • Delivery package formatting: Master Archival (ProRes), Web Distribution (H.264), and Clean Textless Stems
  • Audio stem separation guidelines (Dialogue, Music, SFX stems)
  • Client review link preparation with timestamp commenting on Frame.io / Vimeo

How to Use

Perform every quality control check before exporting your client review or master delivery files. Deliver both a full-mix master and textless / split audio stems when delivering broadcast or commercial client deliverables.
