This training shows how to set up V1 for a clean handoff and reach a final or near-final cut by V2. Learn the submission, review, and revision workflow that eliminates unnecessary rounds.
Transcript
I want to share with you how to get your video right by version two. And the way that we're gonna wanna do that is we wanna set up version one for the win. We wanna give the editor and all of the assets and the required direction to nail it the first round. So what that's gonna look like is when you obviously are submitting that bulk media upload, we have all of the assets. We have all of the details. That lower thirds, design. If it's a saved order, we've selected the saved order, and any other required details. So if that's join us for this event, adding that note there. Booth numbers, if we have booth numbers, All of that required material that you are expecting to be in the final piece, make sure to note that. Even if it comes down to music details, if there's a particular one that you have in mind or particular style, please note that as well. When you get back version one, this is critical that we are looping in everyone that needs to see this piece right away. Keep in mind, we want to nail this and get it out for publication right away. So that's leaving us this round to nail it and get everything completed. And how we're going to do that is once you open up your piece, just as I have here, you're gonna come right on in and start adding up your notations. It is as simple as typing in the suggested edits at that timeline right here. Simple as that. Typed in my thing. It noted it right at that time stamp, and it has my name attached to that comment. This is really beneficial for you guys because as you start to bring in other collaborators, they can see who is commenting on that, where they can then collaborate live in here as well. So as you could see, I have tagged Daniel. Hey. Can you please provide some suggested notes for this section? I've also looped in Ben as part of my team. Hey. Is this the correct microphone? You can also click in here, so it's super beneficial for people as they're coming in here to just simply click on that time stamp, and they can see exactly what you're referring to. How you would loop in all of these individuals and tag them is simply put at, type in their name, And now you've tagged them. And just type in the question or the comment that you have for them to see, and it's gonna again record that at that time stamp. If there are additional pieces that need to be incorporated, so let's say we got version one out and Ben thinks, actually, that microphone noted at this timestamp, six fifteen, is incorrect. We've gone back. We've taken a new recording of the correct microphone. A, he could reply in here with, a comment, hey, we have this new thing. It is in Workbench. Here is the link. What they're referring to when they type in here with a response and reply, Workbench is right here over on the left hand side. This is where you can add those big files. Not in the asset library. You can now come right on in here and upload those files in one, two, three clicks. And then that will be stored in here for the editor to come back and say, oh, here's the correct microphone video footage that we can add and incorporate there. This is also applicable to really any documentation that you need to support, like scripts. If there's a change in anything that you wanted to add, please add it right on in here. It keeps it all in one contained space specific to one project. If you need to collaborate and add anyone else in here, please note that VIP users will not be able to see this automatically. You need to invite them as collaborators right up on in here. So here, I'm going to add Brandon. I'm working with him on this piece. He's a VIP user. Now he has access to see this video and all of the comments that we are all collaborating on in here as a team. Lastly, when this is all said and done and everyone's had their final say, you're gonna wanna come in here and click request revision. That is key to get this back into the editing queue in front of the editors. A walk away from this tutorial is that requesting revisions only after every reviewer has taken a look at it. No longer do we want to see in version three or four, we're adding in those final approvers or reviewers who may completely change the narrative. We wanna, again, make sure that this is getting out in front of people and your audiences right away so that there's no halt in your content and there's no halt in your communications. So please, let's have one clean submission for initials, and then we'll come back with you with, the final piece and loop in everyone right away. We wanna start nailing this for you in by version two. Have a great day, and we will see you in the editing room.
Overview
This video walks through the steps needed to make V2 the final or near-final version of your project. Contributor Ainsley Reymore covers how to submit all assets, details, and lower-third specifications upfront so the editor has everything required from the first pass. The training also demonstrates how to use the proofing room, upload assets to the Workbench, invite collaborators, and submit consolidated revision requests.
What Is This?
Getting your video right by V2 means structuring your initial submission so completely and clearly that the editor can produce a polished cut without waiting on missing information, scattered feedback, or late-arriving assets.
What You'll Learn
- Assemble and submit all required assets, lower-third specs, and project details before the editor begins work
- Use the proofing room to loop in all reviewers simultaneously rather than collecting feedback in sequence
- Leave timestamped comments and @-tag specific stakeholders to keep feedback precise and actionable
- Upload new or updated assets directly to the Workbench so the editor can access them without delays
- Invite VIP users as collaborators on a specific project to grant appropriate access without broadening permissions
- Click Request Revision only after every reviewer has weighed in, consolidating all notes into a single clean submission
Key Insights
- A complete V1 submission — with all assets, specs, and context included — is the single biggest factor in reaching a final cut by V2.
- The proofing room is designed for simultaneous review, not sequential handoffs; using it correctly eliminates the lag created by trickle feedback.
- Timestamped comments tied to specific moments in the video give editors precise, unambiguous direction and reduce the need for follow-up clarification.
- One consolidated revision request outperforms three separate rounds of partial notes every time — discipline at the review stage protects everyone's time.
Deep Dive
Reaching a final or near-final cut by V2 is not a matter of luck — it is the result of deliberate preparation before the editor ever opens the project. The most common cause of extended revision cycles is an incomplete V1 submission. When lower-third names, titles, or spellings are missing, when b-roll or graphics arrive after the first cut is already in progress, or when project details are vague, the editor has to make assumptions or pause and wait. Submitting everything upfront — assets, written details, and lower-third specifications formatted correctly — removes those gaps before they become delays.
The proofing room is the platform's purpose-built environment for review, and using it as intended makes a measurable difference. Rather than gathering feedback from stakeholders one at a time and forwarding notes to the editor in waves, the proofing room allows every reviewer to watch the cut and leave comments at the same time. Timestamped comments anchor feedback to a specific frame or moment, so the editor knows exactly where a change is needed without having to interpret vague descriptions. @-tagging ensures the right person sees the right note, and nothing gets lost in a long comment thread.
Uploading revised or additional assets to the Workbench mid-project keeps everything in one place and gives the editor direct access without requiring a separate file transfer. Similarly, inviting VIP users as project-level collaborators — rather than granting broader platform access — keeps permissions appropriate and the project tidy.
The discipline that ties all of this together is the revision request rule: do not click Request Revision until every reviewer has weighed in. Consolidating all feedback into a single submission means the editor addresses everything in one pass rather than reopening a cut multiple times for incremental changes. That one habit, more than any other, is what makes V2 the finish line instead of another checkpoint.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I include in my V1 submission to avoid extra revision rounds?
Your V1 submission should include all video assets, written project details, and lower-third specifications — names, titles, and spellings — formatted exactly as they should appear on screen. The more complete this information is at the start, the less the editor has to pause, ask questions, or make assumptions that require correction later.
How does the proofing room differ from sharing a video link for review?
The proofing room allows all reviewers to watch the cut and leave feedback at the same time, with comments tied to specific timestamps in the video. Sharing a link typically results in sequential, unstructured feedback that arrives at different times and in different formats, making it harder for the editor to act on efficiently.
Why does it matter when I click Request Revision?
Clicking Request Revision before all reviewers have commented means the editor may receive additional notes after already reopening and working on the cut, creating redundant revision cycles. Waiting until every stakeholder has weighed in and submitting one consolidated request keeps the process clean and protects the editor's time.
