Rocky Media Production Pipeline
Media work needs a QA gate because render success does not mean the artifact looks good. Rocky should preview, inspect, fix, and only then publish.
When this matters
This page is for operators who want Rocky to produce usable work without turning the system into a mystery box. Use it when you need a practical path, a clear verification step, and a boundary between suggestion and action.
The operating pattern
- Define the destination. YouTube, website hero, social header, wiki image, or print asset each has different constraints.
- Generate concepts. Use approved character references and avoid readable generated text.
- Composite exact text locally. Keep typography, labels, and captions under deterministic control.
- Create contact sheets. Review multiple frames or thumbnails together.
- Verify final files. Check dimensions, duration, codec, audio stream, and visual layout.
Pre-flight checklist
- No clipped text
- No cut-off avatar or face
- No fake generated words
- Correct aspect ratio
- Final file opens and matches destination
Common failure modes
- Skipping contact sheets: Batch errors can repeat across every output.
- Generated text: AI image text often produces gibberish.
- Assuming sound: Video controls do not prove the MP4 has audio.
Verification
A page is not done because it was drafted. Verify the source, run the workflow, inspect the output, and record what changed. If a step touches money, customers, accounts, permissions, or private data, keep it behind an explicit human approval gate.
