LIGHTWEIGHT VIDEO EDITING GUIDELINES
When we say Lightweight video edit, this means we need to post it as one video, not many cuts-- which will save us time and get out the content immediately.
Light edits means lower thirds and automatic transcriptions (FB auto generated caption)-- nothing that takes more than a few minutes to do.
What we want to avoid is our people spending many hours over many weeks to get this out.
