CONTENT PLANNING

Content Checklist

Your step-by-step workflow for every piece of content — pre-production through post-publish

📋 PRE-PRODUCTION

Identify the content concept or hook
Research keywords using TubeBuddy or VidIQ
Write title (under 60 chars, keyword first)
Draft thumbnail concept (bold, high contrast, one emotion)
Create or copy _TEMPLATE folder — name by date + game/topic
Pull clips from VODcraft.gg or record fresh footage
Outline script or key talking points
Download or confirm music and SFX assets

🎬 PRODUCTION

Check audio levels before recording (voice peaks at -6dB)
Check lighting (even, soft, no harsh shadows)
Camera at eye level or slightly above
Record intro hook first — make it under 5 seconds
Confirm game/background audio sits at -18dB to -24dB
Record multiple takes for key moments
Review raw footage before ending session

✂️ POST-PRODUCTION

Import footage into editing software
Edit for pacing — cut dead air ruthlessly
Add subtitles/captions (use CapCut AI auto-caption)
