Capture Ready
A checklist for preparing a recording and handing it off.
Working Runs in your browser, and nothing is uploaded. Try it below on sample data.
The problem
Most retakes come from the recording, not the edit: a notification mid-demo, a noisy laptop mic, files with meaningless names.
What I built
A checklist that adapts to the presenter's setup, plus a handoff folder the editor understands without a call.
- Fits Mac or Windows, mic and camera
- Says why each step matters
- Clear file names for every take
Features and limits
Built and tested
- Checklist that adapts to the setup: Mac or Windows, microphone type, frame rate, camera on or off.
- Every item says why it matters, so presenters do it instead of skipping it.
- Naming pattern for every take and track (project, date, take, track), with safe file names.
- Handoff folder plan and a README for the editor: what was recorded, how to sync it, notes.
- Progress count, print view, and it works with no integrations at all.
Limits
- A checklist and a handoff generator; it does not check the recording itself (levels, framing, dropped frames) yet.
- Advice is general good practice, not tuned to any one recording app.
Planned
Automated preflight checks, file integrity and framing diagnostics.
How to use
- Set the project, date and setup.
- Tick the items as you go; the count says when you are ready.
- Rename files with the pattern shown in the folder plan.
- Export the README and put it in the handoff folder.
How it works
- Checklist items are data with a condition on the setup, so adding a rule is one line.
- File names are normalized to plain lower-case ASCII with dashes.
- Nothing is stored or sent; the page works offline once loaded.
