Master

Master file

The final, approved source version of a media asset from which copies, adaptations, and broadcast formats are derived. It should be archived with metadata, version information, and rights details.

Why it matters

Serves as the single source of truth for all versions: adaptations, formats, and broadcasts are created from the master. It ensures clarity on which version is final and enables accurate reconstruction of the asset a year later.

What's missing without it

Without a master file, after a year no one knows which of the twelve versions labeled 'final_v3_poprawiona' is correct — and recreating the spot would require full re-production.

When it is used

After approval of each production: archive with metadata, version, and rights information.

How we use it

The media library marks the approved file as master and locks it to prevent accidental overwriting.
