# Video redaction: editing and coverage review

Use this sheet to prepare an editing brief and record your review. It is not a certificate of anonymity or compliance. Do not put private values into this sheet when a description such as "customer email" is enough.

## Project and scope

- Project / source filename:
- Intended audience and destination:
- Detail or person to conceal:
- People or information that should remain visible:
- Treatment: blur / pixelation / opaque cover / remove passage
- Other requested edits:
- Accepted edits to preserve:

## Appearances to check

Label every time as **original recording** or **current preview**. Record the preview version or filename; do not reuse old timestamps after a timing change without checking them.

| File / version | Clock | Start–end | Target and location | Movement / return / reflection | Required treatment | Review result |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | | | | Not checked |

Useful review results: not checked / correction needed / reviewed in this version. A reviewed interval does not imply the rest of the video is reviewed.

## Starter brief

In [source file], conceal [target] during [labeled interval] and identify other appearances. Use [treatment]. Preserve [accepted edits]. Show a preview for review before export.

## Correction record

In [current preview/version] at [timestamp], [describe what remains visible]. Change [coverage, timing or treatment]. Preserve [accepted choices]. Show this passage and its neighboring frames again.

| Preview / timestamp | Problem | Requested correction | Revised version | Recheck result |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | | Not checked |

## Final review

- [ ] First and last visible frames, including partial appearances at the edges
- [ ] Movement, changes in size, turns, obstructions and returns
- [ ] New angles, later appearances, reflections and inserted media
- [ ] Readability or recognizability in the delivered resolution
- [ ] Sound, captions and any separate subtitle files
- [ ] Coverage after cuts, speed changes, crops, zooms and overlays
- [ ] Each final output format reviewed separately
- [ ] Downloaded file matches the approved version
- [ ] Thumbnail, still images, accompanying text and relevant metadata reviewed
- [ ] Originals and review copies separated from public deliverables

## Deliverables

| Export filename / version | Aspect ratio / resolution | Reviewer / date | Unresolved issue | Ready to share? |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | | No — review pending |
