Describe the alignment-sensitive task
Matching visible speech with sound, grounding an impact noise, and interpreting a narrated demonstration need different alignment judgments. Explain which cues matter and how the model uses them. Avoid a generic synced requirement with no review method. Request examples containing clear visible and audible events that make timing differences inspectable in the proposed media.
Check the whole recording
A sample can appear aligned at the beginning while becoming misaligned later. Inspect several points in representative full-length files and include recordings from different capture setups. Separate a consistent offset from changing alignment. Record the exact file and audio track being reviewed because alternate tracks or exports may have different timing even when the underlying session is the same.
Document transformations and tracks
Trimming, frame-rate conversion, separately recorded sound, and postproduction changes can alter alignment. Ask for the known source-to-export path and identify which audio track is intended for model use. Do not replace a source soundtrack without retaining a clear relationship to the video version. Timestamped labels and transcripts should identify the same delivered reference so downstream tools do not silently mix versions.
Agree on acceptance procedures
Use representative pilot material to define practical review criteria for the actual task. State how questionable alignment is flagged, corrected, or excluded, and avoid assuming that one tolerance suits every application. Technical alignment review is separate from source and usage review. Fiund evaluates proposed audiovisual material and commercial scope for each project rather than promising universally synchronized stock footage.
Review checklist
- Describe the visible and audible cues that matter.
- Inspect multiple points in full recordings.
- Identify exact video versions and audio tracks.
- Agree how alignment exceptions are handled.
