01 / PLAN
Start with the result and the source
A license may limit platforms, territories, duration, modification, attribution, advertising, or commercial use. Read the actual terms and keep a copy because a page or message can change after production begins.
Use this workflow only for media you created, own, or have explicit permission to save. Platform terms and local law still apply even when a file is technically accessible.
02 / WORKFLOW
Complete the workflow step by step
- Prepare.
Obtain clear permission or a license that covers the intended edit, platform, audience, and commercial context.
- Set up.
Save the authorization record and download only the approved source or resolution.
- Create.
Keep creator names, attribution wording, URLs, and restrictions in the project notes while editing in PeteCut.
- Review.
Review the final cut against the permission terms before export and retain evidence with the published project.
03 / QUALITY CHECK
Review the result before the next step
Open the completed file before moving on. Confirm duration, picture, sound, orientation, and filename so a bad source does not travel into the editing stage.
- The permitted use matches the final platform.
- Required credit is complete and readable.
- No prohibited modification was introduced.
- The permission record is stored with the project.
04 / QUESTIONS
Common question
Is credit alone enough to reuse any video?
No. Attribution does not replace permission. You need rights or a license that covers the actual use.
Can I update this workflow later?
Yes. Save the source and project details, then update the relevant settings, content, or output when the destination requirements change.
