A client sign-off sheet for AI ad clips: one row per clip
Columns for a sign-off sheet on AI-generated ad clips, which Sume fields fill each, and what the client is actually approving. For agencies sending batches.
Send the client one row per clip, and make the approval cover the label decision as well as the picture. A client who signs off only on how the ad looks has not decided who adds the AI label, and that is the question platforms ask later.
What columns does the sheet need?
Keep it to what a client can answer in a minute. The last two columns are the ones agencies forget.
| Column | Filled by | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Clip name and thumbnail | You | A still from video inspect |
| Job id | You | Submit response, readable at GET /v1/jobs/:id |
| Contains AI face, voice or photoreal scene | You | Your brief and the clip |
| Contains a paid placement | Client | Contract |
| Who sets the platform label | Client and you | Agreed in writing |
| Approved, changes, rejected | Client | Reply |
How do you get thumbnails for the sheet?
Video inspect returns stills as durable media.sume.com images. Ask for explicit timestamps so every row shows the same moment, for example the first second. Probe and stills are unbilled.
curl -X POST https://api.sume.com/v1/video-inspect \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SUME_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: thumb-row-014" \
-d '{"video_url": "https://media.sume.com/artifacts/example/clip14.mp4",
"frames": {"at": [1.0]}}'What does the client approve?
The clip as rendered, at that job id. A later edit is a new job and a new row. That keeps a change request from silently replacing the version that was approved. Whether labeling is needed under a given platform's rules is not decided by the sheet; it records who decides, and this is not legal advice.
