Video version control · updated October 2026
Short answer: Frooty stacks every upload of a cut into one version history - no more final_v7_REALLY-final.mp4. Name versions consistently, compare any two side by side, and approve one explicit cut so the whole team knows what shipped.
Version chaos is how wrong cuts get delivered. Filenames lie, email threads disagree, and “the latest” depends on who you ask. Version control for video means one canonical stack per cut: every round uploaded in order, named by convention, comparable in one click, with a single approved version at the top.
Upload each new round onto the same video. The stack preserves full history - comments from v1 stay attached to v1, so nothing is lost.
Use the version-naming template: project, cut, round, date. Anyone opening the stack can read where they are without asking.
Open compare mode and play v2 against v3 in sync. Clients verify their notes were addressed without a change-log essay.
Sign-off attaches to a specific cut - not “the video” in general. The approval record shows who approved which version and when.
Downloads and delivery reference the approved version, so the file the client receives is the file they signed off.
Video version control keeps every round of a cut in one ordered history - stacked, named and comparable - instead of scattered files like final_v7.mp4. Frooty stacks uploads, preserves per-version comments, and lets you compare any two cuts side by side.
Use a convention everyone can read: project + cut + round + date (e.g. acme-launch_cutA_r03_2026-10-12). Frooty's version-naming template gives you the exact pattern plus a client-facing legend.
Yes - Frooty's compare mode plays any two stacked versions in sync, so reviewers see exactly what changed between rounds without scrubbing two files.
Yes. Comments stay attached to the version they were left on. Upload v3 and the v2 notes remain on v2 - the history is never rewritten.
Share the current version's link and mark the approved cut explicitly. Old rounds stay in the stack for reference but the latest cut is always the clear default.
Upload your cuts into one versioned project and let the stack keep history straight.
