Dead as Disco Video Evidence Workflow: YouTube Timestamps, Clips, and Screenshot Proof
Dead as Disco 视频证据流程：YouTube 时间点、片段和截图证明
A safe workflow for using YouTube videos, local clips, R2 assets, screenshots, timestamps, and chapter notes as Dead as Disco guide evidence without publishing unreviewed gameplay claims.

Editor Brief
This page is written as a working guide, not a finished wiki dump. Use the confirmed notes first, then treat source-pending rows as a checklist for what still needs gameplay proof.
Current source note: This page defines video evidence workflow only and does not publish Boss moves, BPM, rewards, unlocks, or exact strategy claims.
Media status
No Public Gameplay Embed Yet
This article keeps the media area honest: no fake screenshots, no decorative gameplay claims, and no third-party stills republished as site assets. When a source clip is approved, this block becomes the video player and timestamp map.

A Video Link Is Not Evidence Until It Has Timestamps
A long YouTube URL, stream archive, or local clip should enter the guide database as raw source material, not as a finished fact. Editors need exact timestamp ranges, what the clip is supposed to prove, platform, game version when visible, capture date, spoiler level, and whether supporting screenshots exist. Without that metadata, the topic should stay source pending or needs gameplay verification.
- Required: source URL, start time, end time, claim being tested, platform, version, capture date, and spoiler label.
- Use timestamp ranges such as 12:43-13:08 instead of a whole-video link.
- Write what to inspect: boss animation, result screen, menu state, audio cue, score screen, or item screen.
- Do not publish Boss moves, BPM, rewards, unlocks, or exact strategies from a clip before review.
Clip Review Fields
Each clip should become a review row before it supports guide copy. The row should describe source owner, source URL, timestamp range, visible platform, visible version, evidence type, proposed claim, reviewer status, spoiler status, screenshot filenames, and affected guide pages. This makes YouTube material useful without turning every uploaded clip into public guidance.
- Evidence type: gameplay capture, menu proof, result screen, audio/BPM check, bug reproduction, or official trailer.
- Reviewer status: inbox, needs metadata, ready for review, approved for publication, needs recheck, or retired.
- Affected pages: link the clip to exact guide slugs instead of broad categories.
Screenshots And Chapter Notes
Screenshots should support the video, not replace it. A still frame can prove a menu state, result screen, or item screen, but moving mechanics often need the original clip. Chapter notes can summarize what a video segment contains, but they should stay neutral until the evidence is reviewed and matched to a specific guide claim.
- Screenshot filenames should include source, timestamp, platform, date, spoiler level, and review status.
- Chapter notes should say what appears in the clip, not what the final strategy is.
- If audio timing matters, keep the original video/audio reference tied to the screenshot.
Private Timestamp Maps
For broad YouTube sources, editors can first build a private timestamp map that records retained timestamps, source row IDs, spoiler risk, affected guide slugs, and what each clip is meant to test. The map should remain a review tool until each row becomes a narrow claim with enough metadata.
- Use timestamp maps to separate useful clips from ads, black frames, overlays, and non-gameplay segments.
- Keep private screenshot folders out of public routes and sitemap entries.
- A timestamp map can justify more review work, but it cannot approve a final gameplay claim by itself.

Screenshot / Video Evidence Area
Video evidence needs source URL, timestamp range, claim being tested, platform/version context, spoiler label, screenshot references, and reviewer status before it can support public guide claims.
This page defines video evidence workflow only and does not publish Boss moves, BPM, rewards, unlocks, or exact strategy claims.
Private timestamp maps can organize broad YouTube sources, but they do not approve final gameplay claims.
Use maps for review routing only; public claims still need exact ranges, metadata, and reviewer approval.
FAQ
Can YouTube guides be used as Dead as Disco sources?
Yes, but only with exact timestamps, source URL, claim being tested, platform/version context when visible, spoiler status, and reviewer notes. A whole-video link is not enough.
Can a clip immediately prove a Boss move or BPM value?
No. A clip can start review, but Boss moves, BPM values, rewards, unlocks, score thresholds, and exact strategies should remain unpublished until the evidence is checked against the exact claim.
