Versions & Media

Production is iterative. Cuevue handles this by allowing you to upload multiple Versions of a media asset within a single Project. This preserves the history of feedback and makes progress easy to compare.

The Version Lifecycle

1. Creation: A new version is created (e.g., “v1”, “First Cut”).
2. Upload: An audio or video file is attached to the version.
3. Review: Team members leave Comments and provide status updates.
4. Publication: Once feedback is addressed, the version can be Published.

Uploading Media

Cuevue uses direct and multipart uploads to keep transfers reliable across different file sizes.

Supported Formats

• Audio: WAV, MP3, FLAC, AAC, M4A, OGG, AIFF, WMA
• Video: MP4, MOV, WebM (requires Pro plan or above)

Drag-and-Drop Upload

You can drag audio or video files directly onto the Space page to create a new version. Drop the file on any project to attach it, or drop it on the main area to start a new project with the media attached.

Upload Reliability

• Small files: Uploaded directly with presigned URLs.
• Large files: Uploaded in multipart chunks so progress and recovery are more reliable.
• Progress tracking: The uploader shows transfer progress in real time.

Version Statuses

Versions exist in two primary states:

Draft

The default state for new versions. You can upload new media, delete the version, or modify comments. This is your “work-in-progress” phase.

Published (Locked)

When a version is ready for client review or is considered “finished”, it can be Published.

• Read-Only: Media cannot be swapped, and the version cannot be deleted.
• Permanent Archive: Provides a fixed record of the feedback given at this stage.
• Sharing: Existing public links remain active, but edits are locked.

[!NOTE] You can create Public Review Links from Draft or Published versions. Publishing is primarily an edit-lock/archive action.

[!IMPORTANT] Uploading a new media file to an existing version will clear any existing Transcription for that version to ensure the text remains accurate to the media.

[!NOTE] If a published version needs further changes, use the Duplicate action to create a new Draft version based on the existing metadata.

[!NOTE] Video review is available on the Pro plan and above. Audio review is available on all plans.

Deleting a Version

Versions can hold hours of recording plus the transcript, comment threads, and review markers attached to them. Deletion is intentionally hard to trigger by accident:

1. Open the version action menu and choose Delete Version.
2. Type the version label into the confirmation input exactly (case-insensitive; whitespace trimmed).
3. The Delete Version button only enables once the typed text matches. Cancel resets the input.

Deleting a version removes its media, transcript, transcription jobs, comments, and any review markers — see Data Retention & Exports for the full retention behavior.
