Check Your AI Video Before You Publish: A Real Before-and-After

Follow the steps

1. 1. Listen to the spoken words

   Check names, numbers and web addresses at normal speed. Write narration as you want it pronounced, for example Steve Toti dot com slash tools. Keep normal URL formatting on screen.

2. 2. Compare captions with the final audio

   Check the actual rendered captions, not just the script. When changing a spoken sentence, update its text and timing too.

3. 3. Use a relevant visual during repairs

   If replacement audio no longer matches mouth movements, show a useful real screenshot or demonstration while the corrected line plays. Label before-and-after comparisons clearly.

4. 4. Follow the real link

   Open the destination and check that it offers what the video promises. Review written instructions, guide access and any name, email or consent requirements on a phone.

5. 5. Review the whole master

   A successful export does not prove that the lesson is clear. Watch and listen to the complete edit, especially the opening, repairs and ending. Ask someone to explain the next step back to you.
