How to review your product video remotely.

A practical review order for product accuracy, on-screen text, edit feedback and final exports when your shoot takes place in China.

By ShotModo

Agree the review process before filming.

You can plan and review a ShotModo project without travelling to China. Share the product brief and references, then agree the shot list, video scope and review process with the team. Choose one person to collect feedback from your side. If several people need to approve the work, tell us before production so their requirements can be included in the plan.

Check the product before the edit style.

First check the product version, accessories, setup and demonstrated actions. Read every specification and on-screen claim against the approved information you supplied. Tell us if an essential detail is missing or inaccurate. These notes have a different purpose from preferences about music or pacing: they establish whether the video shows the right product and explains its operation correctly.

Use timestamps and explain the requested change.

Point to the exact moment that needs attention and describe the desired change. For example: “At 00:08, hold the close-up until the latch is fully open.” This is clearer than “make it more premium.” Group notes about product details, text, pacing and audio, and combine comments from your team before sending them. Refer to the same draft version so the notes are easy to match.

A feedback note you can copy.

Use one line per change. The sample notes below are examples, not comments on a published project. Include approved replacement text rather than asking the editor to guess.

Draft filename or link: [exact version] Reviewed by: [one contact collecting the team’s feedback] 00:08–00:10 | Product detail | Please hold the connector close-up longer so the port is clear. Let us know if the available footage is too short. 00:14 | On-screen text | Replace the current line with: [exact approved wording]. 00:21–00:24 | Pacing | Shorten the empty pause before the next product action. New shot request: [describe anything missing from the agreed footage; please confirm scope and cost before filming] Other notes: [audio, language or export corrections] These are our combined notes for this draft. Please flag anything that needs a scope or schedule discussion.

Before you approve the final version.

Compare the delivery with the agreed brief. Keep corrections separate from requests for an extra version.

  • The product, variant, accessories and demonstrated actions are accurate.
  • Specifications, spelling and on-screen claims match your approved information.
  • The agreed language, audio treatment and versions are present.
  • Text and essential details remain readable in each requested frame.
  • The final filenames and download list match the agreed deliverables.

Distinguish an edit from a new filming request.

A request to shorten a scene is different from a request to show an action that was not filmed. Tell us which outcome you need so we can review the available footage and discuss the work involved. Video revisions follow the agreed production quote. The unlimited-revision commitment applies to the ecommerce image service and should not be assumed to define the video scope.

Check the final file list against your brief.

Before approval, check that the agreed versions, languages and audio treatments are accounted for. We deliver approved content through a download link. Compare the file list with the placements in your brief and let us know if anything is missing. Confirm any separate request for source footage or project files with the team; the delivery format should be agreed explicitly.
