Common mistakes to avoid

These are typical pitfalls our editors hit when assembling similar tool chains — check against them before you start and save yourself rework:

  • Letting AI clip without human selection, producing mediocre cuts
  • Not optimizing covers and titles per platform, hurting click-through
  • Ignoring platform specs so exports get cropped or compressed
