Delivery specs editors should confirm first

Codec, aspect ratio, captions, audio loudness, archive formats, and naming standards to clarify before the final export.

Start with the constraints

A lean production succeeds when the team knows what is fixed and what can move. Before departments start solving creatively, confirm the runtime, deliverables, schedule, location access, insurance requirements, and who has final approval.

Turn that into a one-page production brief. Include contact numbers, parking, meal windows, release needs, power limitations, weather backup, and the shots that cannot be missed.

The practical pass

Walk the plan from call time to wrap and ask what could block each step. Most production problems reveal themselves as missing keys, unclear ownership, or assumptions about time.
