Record and send a video

I need to record a short product-demo video and send it to Zara in sales and then to the support channel for indexing, with Zara first. Keep it under 60 seconds so it loads on mobile, show the product screen for 20 seconds, and say the feature name aloud at the start. Check framing and audio before you send; if lighting is poor, retake once. Deadline: today, 5pm.

Before I send this demo to the sales queue, make it easy for a rep to forward and for customers to understand — start with a 6‑second visual title of the feature, keep total length under 60 seconds, add a 3‑second call to action at the end, and make sure the product screen is visible for at least 20 seconds. Flag anything that would make a rep hesitate to forward (unclear audio, off‑screen cursor, privacy data).

I just recorded the 55‑second demo for Zara and the support channel and the audio sounds muffled; Zara expects a clean clip that she can forward to prospects, and support needs the main feature visible for indexing. I don't know if a quick retake will fix it or if I should add captions instead. Should I retake now, add captions, or both, given a 5pm deadline?

Every week we waste time retaking product demo videos because audio is poor or the feature isn't visible; the pattern drains Zara's outreach and stalls documentation. Which two production habits should I change so clips are usable on the first take (lighting/phone mount, a 60‑second checklist, or a preset voice‑level test), and how do I enforce them with the team?
