Why should I review the cropped scene after approving the storyboard sheet?

Find the extraction boundary

A fictional headset sheet looks correct at overview size, but the third cell places an ear cup close to its right border. The extracted frame removes a small portion of the cup and includes a pale strip from the gutter. The script is unchanged; the visible video input is not. This is an extraction and composition question rather than a product-generation error.

Compare the selected cell and isolated frame at equal visible size. Look for complete silhouette, meaningful contact points and unwanted borders. Do not use a tiny film thumbnail as the only approval surface. A cropped reference may appear convincing until motion exposes the missing edge.

The current CartVisual extractor supports 9, 16 or 25 panels. It checks the sheet layout, identifies near-white separators when detected, and crops each cell to the chosen video aspect ratio. A centered ratio crop can remove content close to a cell edge even when the overview looks complete. Review the actual isolated frame, not a hand-drawn rectangle over the full sheet.

Review the frame perimeter

Use a frame checklist rather than requiring an identical crop across unrelated scenes. A macro shot may intentionally exclude part of the product, but its description must make that intentional view clear. Accidental truncation and a deliberate detail crop are different decisions.

Choose a repair before generating motion

If the isolated input is contaminated, stop before approving motion. Review the selected sheet and the extracted frame together. Within the current TVC path, prepare and approve a suitable sheet again rather than assume an arbitrary manual crop control exists. An independently prepared first frame belongs to a separate supported single-shot workflow; it does not silently replace one panel in this TVC set. Do not stretch a cropped image to invent the missing edge. Increasing resolution enlarges the defect; it does not restore unseen geometry.

For the headset, preserve the selected product color and side before regenerating a scene. A corrected crop that switches to another headset variant solves the border problem while introducing an identity problem.

Record the approved input

Save the shot number and isolated frame approval beside the script. The current TVC workflow provides a panel-review stage before video approval; use that stage to inspect what will be submitted. This article describes the review, not an arbitrary manual crop editor inside CartVisual. Check the resulting clip for border persistence as a final confirmation.

The extractor does not upscale a small cell to invent detail. It keeps a native crop when the crop is below its target size and rejects crops below its minimum size. A high-resolution complete sheet therefore does not give every panel that same resolution. See the separate resolution checks before interpreting a quality label.
