Every cut of the same video lives under one review. Versions are numbered, the newest opens by default, and older ones stay one click away with their own comments.
How a new version is created
Upload the new cut to the same task and it becomes the next version. If you upload a file whose name resembles one already in the workspace, RecReview offers the choice up front — Similar Versions Detected, with Add as Version 2 or Create separate project.
The versions panel lists every cut with its thumbnail, number and comment count. The one you are on is marked Current.
Viewing an older version
Open it from the versions panel. A banner reads You are viewing an old version, and the comment box is replaced by Comments locked on this version. Go back to the latest cut to keep reviewing.
Compare two versions
- Open the versions panel.
- Click Compare on the version you want to hold against the current one. Both cuts open together, with a toolbar above them.
- Pick a mode in the toolbar:
- Side by Side — both cuts, in sync, next to each other. A second toggle switches between a horizontal and a vertical layout, for social formats.
- Split — one image, a divider you drag across the frame.
- Overlay — one on top of the other, with a slider to blend between them. Best for catching a graphic that moved a few pixels.
- Use the two toggles on the right to choose which version supplies the audio and which one supplies the comments shown.
Both players stay locked to the same timecode, so scrubbing moves them together.
Tip: Overlay at 50% is the fastest way to prove a colour or a title position actually changed between cuts.
