How to treat the first render as a draft: fix captions, regenerate weak scenes, repair narration, then export.

The pipeline finishes and hands you a complete video. Treat it as a draft, not a finished upload, because there are a few things nobody should ever publish untouched.
Start with the captions, because this one is the biggest tell in the whole format. Never ship the editor's default caption styling. The default is fine, and fine is the problem. It's what every unfinished automated video on the platform looks like, and a viewer has seen it enough times to recognise it instantly.
What you want instead is large, bold, high-contrast text. That means either a solid dark bar sitting behind the words or a heavy black stroke around every letter, because your audience is watching this on a phone, at a size where thin light text over a bright generated image simply disappears. Channel Farm gives you the controls for all of it. Font, size, colour, highlight colour, words per line, position, shadow. Set it once, save it in your brand profile, and every video after this one comes out already correct.
Next, the music. Take the default background track off and put your own on. Same reasoning as the captions. Default anything reads as untouched, and untouched reads as low effort, no matter how good the actual video is.
Then do a proper comb-through, and do it as a viewer first. Watch the whole thing straight through and don't fix anything on the way. Just note the timestamps where you flinched. If you stop and repair the first problem you spot, you'll spend fifteen minutes perfecting scene two and skim the entire back half. What you're hunting for is small stuff. A face that glitched. A hand that came out wrong. A word the voice mispronounced. Individually none of it is fatal. Collectively it's the whole difference between a video that reads as made and one that reads as generated.
Then go back and repair what you listed.
A scene that came out wrong gets regenerated, and you regenerate it by editing its image prompt, not by rolling the same prompt again and hoping. If the picture is wrong because the description was vague, another spin gives you a different wrong picture. Say the thing you actually meant.
If a scene fights you more than a couple of times, stop generating and upload something instead. You can drop your own file into any individual scene, a JPG or PNG or WebP, or an MP4 clip, and it replaces that scene's generated image entirely. A real photograph of the person your story is about will land harder than any generated version of them. It's a per-scene substitution rather than the way you build the whole video, but where the real thing exists, use the real thing.
Narration works the same way. Regenerate one segment, delete one, insert a new one. A mispronounced name is a small local repair, not a reason to rebuild anything.
Then watch it end to end once more, and export.
Ten minutes of cleanup per video. Across a library, that's the difference between a channel and a batch job.
