At a glance
| Review point | What to check |
|---|---|
| Intended action | Decide whether the clip should show freestyle gestures, a window wave or a dance; visual detail cannot fix an action that tells the wrong story. |
| Native-speed playback | Watch the entire file without acceleration before pausing to inspect a fault; faster playback can conceal an awkward transition. |
| Limb contact | Follow each hand or paw for detachment, changing length or movement through the door; contact with the speaker, seat or vehicle should remain understandable. |
| Camera and final beat | Separate camera movement from subject movement, and check whether a sudden zoom hides a changed face or an unfinished final gesture. |
| Support details | Record the affected seconds, intended action and actual movement with the task settings; check the current work before paying for another independent attempt. |
Identify the intended action
Write down the action you expect before judging the clip. Freestyle gestures, a wave from a car window and a dance each have different movement requirements. Higher visual detail cannot compensate for an action that tells the wrong story.
Play at the native speed
Watch the whole file at normal speed with no artificial acceleration. A rapid preview can make an awkward transition seem smooth. Use pausing only after that first pass to inspect the exact moment where movement became confusing.
Follow hands, paws and contact
Track each limb across the frame. Check whether a hand stays attached, a paw passes through the door or an arm changes length. Contact with a speaker, seat or vehicle should remain physically understandable through the gesture.
Inspect the camera and ending
Distinguish subject movement from camera movement. A sudden zoom may conceal a changed face or unfinished gesture. Check the final beat too: the clip should not stop halfway through the action you expected to see.
Keep a useful report
Note the affected seconds, the intended action and what actually happened. Keep the original task and settings when contacting support. Repeated submissions create independent attempts and costs; first confirm the status of the current work.
Questions about this guide
No. Check the native-speed clip first. Faster playback can conceal a broken transition or an unfinished gesture.
