How does video version control work?

Upload new versions to the same task. Timeliner automatically tracks every revision with timestamps, uploader info, and linked feedback — creating a complete history.

Can I compare versions side-by-side?

Yes. The side-by-side comparison player lets you view two versions simultaneously, synced frame-by-frame, so you can see exactly what changed.

Do comments carry across versions?

Yes. Feedback from previous versions is preserved and visible, so nothing gets lost between revisions.

Can I restore a previous version?

Yes. Every version is stored and accessible. You can set any previous version as the current one with a single click.

How does this prevent the 'Final_v3_REALLY_FINAL' problem?

Instead of renaming files, every revision lives under the same task with automatic version numbering. Everyone always sees the latest version, with the full history just one click away.

Version Control

Video Version Control -No More Final_v3_REALLY_FINAL

Track every video revision, compare versions side-by-side, and restore with one click. Automatic version numbering that keeps everyone on the same page.

The version control nightmare

File name chaos

Project_Final_v3_REVISED_ClientApproved_REAL_FINAL.mp4 -you know the feeling.

Lost revisions

Client asks to go back to 'the version from Tuesday' but nobody saved it. Or nobody can find it.

Feedback from old versions resurfaces

Comments from v1 get mixed with v3 feedback. Editors re-introduce bugs that were already fixed.

No comparison tool

How do you show a client what changed between v2 and v3? Screen recordings? Side-by-side browser tabs?
