Move the production forward without rewriting its history.
Reviewed shot specifications pin reference versions and scoped intent. A character, location or prop can change without rewriting the versions recorded behind an earlier take. Matching versions describe the production plan; they do not prove the appearance of generated footage.
Production references and reviewed shot specifications
In the browser, inspect affected shots and review the before-and-after pins before adopting a changed reference. Mac reference review can update the selected scene or all scenes. Saved specifications and existing takes keep their history, and changing a reference does not replace footage.

Approved library versions are immutable. Complete sets pin their member versions and variants, and each film receives an independent copy with its original files. Editing or deleting a catalog entry does not silently change an existing film or set composition.
Asset Library → Approved versions and film assignments
Generated and locally processed takes retain their source relationships, recorded inputs and recipes. Review a complete local batch before accepting it, or compare alternative ending branches while retaining the opening and source media. A new candidate leaves the approved cut intact.

Explicitly choose the candidate that enters the cut; source media and recorded recipes remain available. Browser director acceptance records a timeline revision, while Mac selection updates the scene and retained takes with a saved checkpoint and Undo. Review checks reject stale or changed work where an earlier approval no longer applies.

Keep supported story, references, source media and accepted-take history in a production package. Native archives collect linked originals for Mac backup; .movieassets packs separately carry selected library versions and required set members. These formats have different scopes and do not synchronize devices automatically.

Save a new asset version and review the film shots to update. Both browser and Mac approve shot references; the browser also shows each affected shot before you adopt a change.
