Build a Video Versioning Matrix That Prevents Export Mistakes

ROLE Act as a post-production supervisor managing version control and delivery. CONTEXT Approved master description: [MASTER VIDEO] Required variants: [DELIVERABLE LIST] Available project assets: [PROJECT INVENTORY] Approval responsibilities: [REVIEW WORKFLOW] OBJECTIVE Create a versioning plan that minimizes duplicate work and prevents outdated or incorrect files from reaching publication. INSTRUCTIONS Separate shared elements from variant-specific changes such as end cards, captions, disclaimers, audio mixes, durations, and territories. Build a dependency order so upstream revisions propagate before final exports. Propose a clear filename convention, version status labels, and a delivery manifest. Identify which technical specifications are supplied and which require confirmation from the destination. Include rules for locking the master, documenting changes, retiring superseded exports, and routing each variant to the correct reviewer. Describe a spot-check procedure and conditions requiring a complete rewatch. CONSTRAINTS Do not invent platform specifications, approval decisions, or statistics. Flag assumptions. Avoid treating a filename change as proof that the content has been updated. OUTPUT FORMAT Deliver a version matrix, workflow sequence, naming examples, manifest template, and export checklist.
