Pickado approach
We kept the process lean and pragmatic, focused on moving translated content live quickly with minimal overhead.
Phase 1 — Intake & Setup
- Light LMS/content audit and confirmation of requirements (formats, tracking, visibility rules)
- Gathered translated source assets (videos, images, PDF where applicable)
- Defined simple naming/versioning and language codes for ease of search
Phase 2 — Packaging & Upload
- Edited/optimized videos in Adobe Premiere Pro (cuts, overlays, audio levels) and Canva (thumbnails, lower‑thirds, quick text treatments)
- Polished images/graphics in Adobe Photoshop (cropping, cleanup, resizing)
- Applied essential metadata (titles, descriptions, language tags), thumbnails, and basic accessibility (captions/transcripts when provided)
Phase 3 — Review & Updates
- Short, email‑based review cycles with a few quick calls as needed
- Implemented fixes/updates (text tweaks, thumbnail changes, re‑exported videos, metadata adjustments)
- Final publish and confirmation of learner experience (launch, completion, searchability)
