Technical checks happen after the long render
A wrong crop, spelling error or missing logo is cheap to fix in the editor and expensive to discover after an hour-long export.

Why this exists
Solve the small production problem before it becomes an expensive one.
Independent artists, AI music creators, labels and channels preparing a coordinated release video.
Rights are treated as a publishing problem
Audio, artwork, fonts, footage and logos should be cleared before production—not after a platform claim or client delivery.
Each platform receives an unrelated asset
Without a release checklist, the YouTube master, vertical teaser, Canvas and thumbnail can drift into different palettes and messages.
Three-step workflow
1
Work from top to bottom
The checklist follows the production sequence: rights and source files, creative proof, export QA and publishing handoff.
2
Do not mark assumptions as complete
Check the real audio file, final spelling, actual mobile crop and downloaded MP4 rather than relying on a project preview.
3
Save the completed state on this device
Progress is stored only in local browser storage. Reset it for the next release or copy the list into a campaign brief.
Practical answers
Frequently asked questions
Is checklist progress stored in my account?
No. It is saved only in localStorage on the current browser and device, keeping the tool instant and server-free.
Can I copy the checklist into another tool?
Yes. Use the copy button to place a plain-text version on your clipboard for a release brief, note or team message.
Does completing the checklist guarantee platform approval?
No. It reduces common production errors, but every platform’s current content, copyright and technical policies still apply.
When should I start the final render?
After the real track, crop, text, colours, audio response and required formats have been previewed and approved.
