Example project: a laptop stand. The time ranges are targets in the finished edit. Fill in source in and out from your own footage.
| Target time | What the viewer should see | Source in and out | Review question |
|---|---|---|---|
| 00–05 | Laptop on the stand | Is the finished setup clear? | |
| 05–18 | Unfold and engage the latch | Can a first-time viewer see how it locks? | |
| 18–35 | Hands typing and the base in the same shot | Does the shot hold long enough to judge what happens? | |
| 35–45 | Wide view of the desk | Can the viewer judge the space it takes? |
Play the rough cut once muted and restore any action that has become unclear. Play it again with the narration. If “engage the latch” comes early, move the line or hold the close-up. Log the change as a timecode plus an action, then verify it in the exported cut.
