Data Retention & Exports

Cuevue keeps your audio, transcripts, and collaboration history tied to each version so teams can audit feedback and ship confidently. This page explains how long data is retained, what triggers removal, and how to export your content.

What Gets Stored

Media files: The latest uploaded audio or video for each version, stored in the Cuevue media bucket.
Transcripts: Timestamped JSON transcripts generated per version.
Comments & replies: Threaded feedback, including timestamps and resolution status.

Retention Behavior

Version deletion removes everything tied to that version. Deleting a version removes its media assets, transcripts, transcription jobs, and comments from Cuevue.
Uploading new media clears the transcript. Cuevue automatically deletes the previous transcript and transcription job when a new file is uploaded so the text always matches the latest media.
Resolved comments remain available. Resolved comments stay in the system until the version is deleted, so you can export complete histories.

[!TIP] If you need an audit trail before deleting a version, export comments first so you have a durable record outside Cuevue.

Exporting Your Data

Use the Export button in the Review header to download review data. Cuevue supports a wide range of formats:

Transcript: SRT, WebVTT, and Plain Text formats.
Comments: Formatted Report, SoundFlow Markers, JSON, and CSV.
Review Export: Unified comments + markers in TSV, CSV, or JSON — including a Pro Tools-optimized preset with lane-based layout.
NLE Markers: Premiere Pro (.csv), DaVinci Resolve (.edl), and Final Cut Pro (.fcpxml).

You can include resolved comments and replies to preserve full discussion context. See Exporting Feedback for the complete format reference.

Public Review Links

Public review links can view and create comments during the share window. When a version is deleted or a new audio file replaces the old one, those comments and transcripts are removed alongside the version data.
