Plan your clips before you cut

Without a written recipe, every new clip means reconstructing the last one from memory. This clip planning sheet is where you record the decisions, inputs and acceptance checks for a cut, so the work is easier to repeat and share.

You fill in the source path and your rights to it, duration and streams, start and end time, target aspect ratio, audio requirement, output format, output path and tool settings.

It ends with the checks for every clip: the output opens, the beginning and end match your intent, audio is in sync, dimensions match the destination, and the source is unchanged.

You need only a text editor, and you keep the completed plan for your next project. Provider accounts, model weights, GPU compute and hosting are not included.
