What should you check before marking a captioned video complete?

Completion should describe a usable output, not just the end of a rendering process. The final check needs both technical and editorial evidence.

Verify the exported media

Confirm the file is accessible, decodes, and contains the expected video and audio. Watch the beginning, transitions, and ending. Inspect caption accuracy, synchronization, line breaks, and readable placement. Check the intended output dimensions and destination requirements.

Verify the application result

Ensure the artifact belongs to the correct project, job, and approved version. Retrieve it through the owner’s normal portal path and confirm that reload preserves access. Store any separate caption track with the same version relationship. Test that an incomplete upload cannot mark the job complete. Record known quality limitations honestly so a successful render is not confused with proof that every generated statement is accurate.
