Gaming clip review checklist
Short answer
Before you schedule a clip, run this eight-point checklist. If you cannot answer yes to most items, skip or re-cut. RaidCut is built to make this review pass repeatable after OpusClip generation.
Checklist
- Hook: Does something interesting happen in the first 2 seconds?
- Payoff: Is the outcome visible without extra explanation?
- Clarity: Can a non-viewer follow game context from captions or UI?
- Facecam / reaction: Does on-camera or comms audio add value (not distract)?
- Title potential: Can you write one specific title, not a generic ‘insane clip’?
- Platform fit: Shorts vs TikTok vs Reels—any policy or aspect issues?
- Length: Is dead air trimmed? Under ~60s unless the moment needs more?
- Replay value: Would a fan of this game rewatch or share it?
Publish vs skip rule of thumb
Publish when hook + payoff are strong and you have a specific title. Skip when the moment needs ten seconds of setup chat, or when HUD/text is unreadable on mobile.

Frequently asked questions
Should every box be yes?
Aim for most yeses. One weak area can be fixed in edit; multiple weak areas usually mean skip.
Can RaidCut enforce this checklist?
RaidCut structures review in an inbox with AI assist; you still make the final publish/skip call.
How many clips per session?
Quality over volume. Three strong posts beat ten mid clips that train the algorithm poorly.
