When scheduling videos I noticed some small things get overlooked so I wanted to share the checklist that I use.
It may not work for everyone but it may help catch some of the details.

1. Post Title – use this format – Speaker Name: Title in Camel Case Lettering

2. Video Attachment Title – Change under “Add Media” and use Post Title

3. Description – Placed in ExcerptExcerpt An excerpt is the description of the blog post or page that will by default show on the blog archive page, in search results (SERPs), and on social media. With an SEO plugin, the excerpt may also be in that plugin’s metabox. box (make sure it is in Present Tense)

4. Slides – replace # and use this format Presentation Slides »

5. Check the MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. Boxes:

5.1 Categories (5) – Year, City (Location), Presentation Video (or Panel Discussion), Slides, WordCampTV

5.2 Tags – All that apply (Caution Using How-To tags)

5.3 Speaker – Name(s) of Presenter(s)

5.4 Language – of Presenter

5.5 Event – use this format – WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. (City or Location) (Year)

  How about we drop the » and use a → (» vs →) instead?
  - Jerry Bates (jerrysarcastic) 5:43 pm on August 21, 2014
    
    I’m open to that. Is there a way to find/replace instances of » in excerpts for published posts? More than anything I want a change like that to be consistent, but it’s not a requirement.
    
    It could even be my obsessive/compulsive disorder 🙂
