A practical AI video production checklist puts rights and review questions next to the production details teams already manage. Use it to find missing information early, not as a substitute for legal or provider decisions.
Before creative development
List each person, voice, image, logo, script, recording, and reference asset the project may use. Identify who controls it, which evidence exists, and who can answer questions about permission. Keep uncertainty visible rather than assuming the client supplied a complete rights chain.
Write down the client, campaign, audience, intended content category, channels, territory, and timeline. Capture exclusions and approval requirements that affect the creative plan. This lets teams choose a viable approach before expensive production begins.
Before generation or production
Check the intended use against each asset's documented scope. Confirm that required contracts and acknowledgments are in place, that restrictions are visible, and that any required upstream review has an actual provider response attached to the correct request.
Verify the target account, model, region, and provider conditions. Do not reuse a status from a different organization or project unless the applicable terms explicitly support it. If a dependency is unavailable, stop and explain the limitation.
Before client delivery
Confirm that the finished output is traceable to the inputs and decision records that supported the workflow. Review the final context for changes to claims, brand association, voice, or apparent endorsement that were not in the original brief.
Store the delivery date, client, applicable terms version, distribution scope, and any provider provenance returned through an authorized integration. Do not invent watermark, credential, or review data that the service did not produce.
Keep the checklist alive
A checklist needs an owner, an update schedule, and a route for exceptions. Review it when providers change their rules, when a business adds a new use case, or when counsel updates the policy. Make one team accountable for versioning.
Approved.video is designed to give production teams a place to connect rights records and status to their own workflow. Its provider-dependent actions remain unavailable until the relevant authorized path is configured.

Can an AI video checklist replace legal review?
No. A checklist helps a team organize questions and evidence; qualified counsel should advise on legal rights and obligations.
