A thumbnail photo. An audio check we should have done before recording the whole video.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n          We've also finished editing and thought the job was done, only to remember that we still needed a title, description, thumbnail and actual upload.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n          None of those things are particularly complicated. The problem is trying to remember all of them while we're also thinking about the creative part of the video.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n          That's why we use a <strong>YouTube video production checklist<\/strong>.

We do need one to remind us that the microphone needs testing, the thumbnail needs preparing and the final export needs watching before we upload it.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        That's the difference for us. We use checklists for repeatable parts of production, not for every creative decision.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        It also means we don't have to mentally reload the whole production process every time we start another YouTube video.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <div class=\"peliku-article-callout\">\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-article-callout-title\">What belongs on our checklist<\/span>\r\n        <p>\r\n          If we need to do something on most videos and forgetting it creates a problem later, it's probably worth putting on the checklist.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h2>Our YouTube video production checklist<\/h2>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        We split the checklist into stages because checking everything at the beginning doesn't make much sense. We don't need to think about the final YouTube description while we're still deciding what the video is about.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        The basic journey looks like this:\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <div class=\"peliku-workflow\">\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-workflow-step\">Plan<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-workflow-step\">Prepare<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-workflow-step\">Film<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-workflow-step\">Edit<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-workflow-step\">Publish<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-workflow-step\">Review<\/span>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        The exact checklist changes depending on the video. A simple talking-head video obviously needs less than a tutorial with several cameras, screen recordings and B-roll.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h2>1. Before we start the video<\/h2>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        Before scripting or filming, we want to understand what we're actually making.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        This doesn't need to become a huge strategy session. We just don't want to get halfway through writing and realise we're not sure what the video is supposed to do.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <ul>\r\n        <li>Define the main idea<\/li>\r\n        <li>Decide who the video is for<\/li>\r\n        <li>Choose the main angle<\/li>\r\n        <li>Write down the main message<\/li>\r\n        <li>Decide the format<\/li>\r\n        <li>Set a target publication date if we need one<\/li>\r\n      <\/ul>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        For bigger projects, we might also think about the problem we're addressing, the main benefit for the viewer and the emotion we want the video to create.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        Our\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/peliku.com\/blog\/video-planning-template\/\">video planning template guide<\/a>\r\n        goes into this stage in more detail.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h2>2. Before we film<\/h2>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        This is where the checklist becomes especially useful for us because there are a lot of small things that can make filming easier or much more annoying.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h3>Script and content<\/h3>\r\n\r\n      <ul>\r\n        <li>Finish the script or talking points<\/li>\r\n        <li>Read the important sections out loud<\/li>\r\n        <li>Check that the structure still makes sense<\/li>\r\n        <li>Prepare any visual notes or demonstrations<\/li>\r\n        <li>Make a shot list if the video needs one<\/li>\r\n      <\/ul>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        We don't always use a full script. Sometimes an outline is enough. The important part is that we know what we're trying to say before we start recording.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        If you want to go deeper into that part, we've written a guide on\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/peliku.com\/blog\/how-to-write-a-video-script\/\">how to write a video script<\/a>.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h3>Camera and equipment<\/h3>\r\n\r\n      <ul>\r\n        <li>Charge camera batteries<\/li>\r\n        <li>Charge the microphone if needed<\/li>\r\n        <li>Check memory cards and available storage<\/li>\r\n        <li>Prepare the tripod or camera mount<\/li>\r\n        <li>Check lights<\/li>\r\n        <li>Prepare any cables or adapters<\/li>\r\n        <li>Keep backup batteries or cards nearby for important shoots<\/li>\r\n      <\/ul>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        Most of this takes a few minutes. Discovering a dead battery after everything else is ready takes longer.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h3>Location and setup<\/h3>\r\n\r\n      <ul>\r\n        <li>Check the background<\/li>\r\n        <li>Look for distracting objects<\/li>\r\n        <li>Listen for unwanted noise<\/li>\r\n        <li>Check the lighting<\/li>\r\n        <li>Make sure there's enough room for the setup<\/li>\r\n        <li>Prepare any props or products<\/li>\r\n      <\/ul>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        We also check whether anything in the room is going to change during the shoot. Natural light can look great when we start and completely different an hour later.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h3>Audio and image test<\/h3>\r\n\r\n      <ul>\r\n        <li>Record a short test<\/li>\r\n        <li>Listen to the audio with headphones<\/li>\r\n        <li>Check focus<\/li>\r\n        <li>Check exposure<\/li>\r\n        <li>Check framing<\/li>\r\n        <li>Make sure nothing important is cropped<\/li>\r\n      <\/ul>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        This is one of those checks that feels unnecessary right up until the day it saves the whole shoot.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <div class=\"peliku-article-callout\">\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-article-callout-title\">Before record<\/span>\r\n        <p>\r\n          We would rather spend five minutes checking the setup than discover an audio or focus problem after filming the entire video.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        Our full\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/peliku.com\/video-shoot-planning-2026\/\">video shoot planning guide<\/a>\r\n        covers this stage in more detail.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h2>3. While we're filming<\/h2>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        Once the camera is running, we don't want to stare at a checklist after every take. The list is there to help us remember the important things, not interrupt the whole shoot.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        We normally check these things between sections or before changing the setup.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <ul>\r\n        <li>Capture all the main sections<\/li>\r\n        <li>Redo important takes when needed<\/li>\r\n        <li>Capture the B-roll on the shot list<\/li>\r\n        <li>Film useful close-ups<\/li>\r\n        <li>Record screen demonstrations if needed<\/li>\r\n        <li>Capture alternative angles when they're useful<\/li>\r\n        <li>Take thumbnail photos if the setup is useful for them<\/li>\r\n      <\/ul>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        We also try to think about the edit while filming. If there's a section that will probably need a cut, having B-roll or another angle gives us more options later.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h3>Before changing the setup<\/h3>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        If we're about to move the camera, change the lighting or leave the location, that's when we stop for a second and check the shot list.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        It's much easier to film one forgotten close-up while everything is still in place than recreate the setup tomorrow.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h3>Before ending the shoot<\/h3>\r\n\r\n      <ul>\r\n        <li>Check the most important footage<\/li>\r\n        <li>Listen to a few audio clips<\/li>\r\n        <li>Make sure the key shots are there<\/li>\r\n        <li>Check that nothing important is out of focus<\/li>\r\n        <li>Redo anything we're not confident about<\/li>\r\n      <\/ul>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        We don't review every second of footage. We just want enough confidence that we're not packing away a problem.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h2>4. Before we call the edit finished<\/h2>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        Editing has its own checklist because it's very easy to focus on the big picture and miss a tiny thing.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        We don't use every item for every video, but these are the kinds of things we check:\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <ul>\r\n        <li>Remove mistakes and unnecessary pauses<\/li>\r\n        <li>Check the overall pacing<\/li>\r\n        <li>Clean or balance the audio<\/li>\r\n        <li>Add B-roll where it helps<\/li>\r\n        <li>Add music if the video needs it<\/li>\r\n        <li>Add graphics or screen recordings<\/li>\r\n        <li>Check subtitles<\/li>\r\n        <li>Check spelling in on-screen text<\/li>\r\n        <li>Check transitions<\/li>\r\n        <li>Watch the final version from beginning to end<\/li>\r\n      <\/ul>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        That last one matters. We don't want our first complete viewing of the video to happen after it's already on YouTube.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h3>We watch the exported file too<\/h3>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        The editing timeline can look perfect and the export can still have a problem.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        So for important videos, we check the actual exported file. We make sure the audio is there, the image looks right and nothing strange happened during export.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <div class=\"peliku-article-quote\">\r\n        <p>\r\n          \"It looked fine in the editor\" is not something we want to discover after publishing.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h2>5. Before we publish on YouTube<\/h2>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        This is the part we used to treat as something we'd deal with once the video was finished.

That means the things we need to do before filming aren't separated from the script, shooting date or rest of the project.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        The video can move through the production workflow while the relevant tasks and information move with it:\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <div class=\"peliku-workflow\">\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-workflow-step\">Preparation<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-workflow-step\">Script<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-workflow-step\">Ready to shoot<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-workflow-step\">Shooting<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-workflow-step\">Editing<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-workflow-step\">Approved<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-workflow-step\">Scheduled<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-workflow-step\">Published<\/span>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        We don't need every checklist item to become a production stage. If we're in Editing and still need to add subtitles, that can simply be a task. If we need to charge batteries before filming, that's a task too.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        The workflow tells us where the video is. The checklist and tasks remind us what still needs to happen.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h3>We can prepare things before they become urgent<\/h3>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        If a video has a shooting date, we can prepare the tasks that need to happen before that date instead of remembering them when we're already setting up the camera.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        The same goes for publication. If we know when the video is going live, we can prepare the thumbnail and publishing information before the last minute.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h3>The checklist stays with the project<\/h3>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        This is the part we find most useful. When we come back to a video after a few days, we don't need to remember which checklist belonged to it or what we'd already completed.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        We can see the project, its current stage and the work that's still left.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <h3>It also works better when we're not alone<\/h3>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        If someone else is helping with the video, tasks can be assigned instead of us assuming everyone remembers who agreed to do what.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        One person might handle the thumbnail while someone else finishes the edit. The checklist becomes part of the actual production instead of a separate document nobody looks at.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n      <div class=\"peliku-article-callout\">\r\n        <span class=\"peliku-article-callout-title\">Why we like checklists<\/span>\r\n        <p>\r\n          We don't use them because making videos is complicated.

We want to make the video.\r\n      <\/p>\r\n\r\n      <p>\r\n        The checklist is there for the repeatable stuff. Charge the batteries. Check the audio. Capture the shots.
