Pilot questions
Ask these before approval.
- 01Can the operator correct small missed faces?
- 02Does the workflow keep the original unchanged?

- 04Can completion be recorded without excess personal data?

Use representative footage.
Test profiles, crowds, low light, reflections and the exact export settings your team uses. Measure approved output and hands-on time—not a perfect marketing clip.
