# Social-video export worksheet

Publisher: Valmera
Updated: September 8, 2026
Guide: https://valmera.io/alternatives/capcut-alternatives

Use the same source and deliverable to compare your current editor with a candidate. This is a blank planning and observation worksheet, not a completed product benchmark. Leave untested requirements marked unknown.

## 1. Required result

- Project and reviewer:
- Source filenames, size and duration:
- Intended destination and audience:
- Device, operating system, browser or app version:
- Required aspect ratio and resolution:
- Maximum final duration, including any ending:
- Explanation or qualification that must remain:
- Exact names, caption wording and spelling:
- Burned-in captions, separate SRT/VTT, or both:
- Speaker, product or demonstration that must stay visible:
- Editable assets needed after delivery:
- Specific shortcoming in the current workflow:

## 2. Actual assets for the first export check

| Asset | File or reference | Intended use and access confirmed | Replacement if unavailable |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Source recording | | | |
| Music | | | |
| Logo | | | |
| Font and caption style | | | |
| Effect or template | | | |

First try a small export with these assets. A preview does not prove that the final file can be downloaded on your plan.

| Access check | Current editor | Candidate |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Product and interface | | |
| Account plan and check date | | |
| Monthly, one-time or trial allowance | | |
| Source upload limits | | |
| Required paid elements | | |
| Download resolution and watermark/end card | | |
| Project retention and storage | | |
| Official source or account evidence | | |
| Unresolved difference from published limits | | |

## 3. Equivalent editing request

Adapt this proposed request to your source and supported output. For an editor without chat, perform equivalent actions.

> Make a vertical 9:16 clip of no more than 60 seconds from this recording, including any ending. Keep the main explanation and its qualification together. Use only the supplied media. Add accurate captions; use the supplied spelling for names. Keep the speaker and any demonstrated object visible. Add my supplied music quietly under speech, and check the transitions into pauses. Show the draft so I can correct it before final export.

Required changes to that example:

## 4. Correction and time record

Use one caption correction and one framing or timing change. State whether timestamps refer to the source or a particular preview version.

- Correction request:
- Timestamp basis and version:
- Choices that should remain unchanged:

| Observation | Current editor | Candidate |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Preparation and upload | | |
| Processing/wait time | | |
| Active first-edit time | | |
| Corrections and retries | | |
| Review and export time | | |
| AI usage or additional charge | | |
| Total elapsed time | | |
| Separate total hands-on time | | |
| Unintended changes after correction | | |

Do not add overlapping elapsed intervals twice. Keep elapsed time separate from hands-on effort.

## 5. Final download review

For each editor, record pass, fail or unknown with the file and timestamp that support the observation.

| Requirement | Current editor: result and evidence | Candidate: result and evidence |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Meaning and essential qualification preserved | | |
| Duration includes any ending and meets the brief | | |
| Captions accurate, synchronized and readable | | |
| Framing retains the speaker and required objects | | |
| Music allows speech to remain clear | | |
| No unintended watermark, logo or end card | | |
| Intended assets available for the intended use | | |
| Resolution, playback and audio sync acceptable | | |
| Required caption file available, if applicable | | |
| Needed source and editable assets retained | | |

## 6. Decision

- Accepted final files:
- Remaining fixes or unknown requirements:
- Total subscription commitment, seats and renewal terms:
- Usage, storage or asset costs beyond that commitment:
- What must be recreated for the next project:
- Chosen workflow and evidence supporting the choice:
- Requirements to recheck before a larger migration:

Valmera account creation and uploads are free; AI editing requires a paid plan and uses credits. Studio exports final MP4 files. It does not import a native CapCut project or import/export SRT/VTT. An uploaded reference render is flattened media, not a reconstruction of the original edit.
