PRACTICE BRIEF
Use a short authorized two-person conversation with one interruption and one reaction shot. Label speakers from the audio, then independently mark who appears in the image. Compare the two records before creating the clip. Correct mismatches explicitly rather than forcing the audio labels and visible faces into a one-to-one assumption.

ACCEPTANCE CHECKS
[ ] Verify generated speaker identities
Evidence:
[ ] Separate speech from visible subjects
Evidence:
[ ] Review interruptions and reactions
