Version Control
Every choice preserved, every path explorable, every state recoverable.

Traditional version control once meant duplicating entire projects, juggling dated copies, and hoping you saved the right moments. Sequence takes a radically different approach: every single edit is automatically preserved in your project's history. No manual saving, no lost work, no "version_final_final_v2" folders cluttering your storage.
Because Sequence maintains a centralized source of truth for media and project data, your entire creative journey is recorded and accessible. Want to explore a new direction? Duplicate your timeline with a single click. Need to recover that perfect cut from yesterday? Time Travel lets you scroll through your project's history with unmatched detail, letting you extract exactly what you need or restore entire timelines to previous states.
This isn't just about recovery — it's about creative freedom. Experiment boldly knowing you can revisit any moment in your edit. Branch off new ideas while keeping your main timeline pristine. Pull inspiration from past versions without disrupting your current work. Whether you're making quick iterations or diving deep into your project's history, every creative decision remains within reach.
