v1o1v2o2

v1o1v2o2 is a compact, alphanumeric notation used to describe a specific sequence of asset states within a video production workflow. In this system, the letter v denotes a video version and the letter o denotes an overlay or auxiliary object; the accompanying number identifies the item within its category. The string v1o1v2o2 encodes a four-step sequence: start with video version 1, apply overlay 1, advance to video version 2, and then apply overlay 2. The notation is designed to be machine-readable while remaining readable to humans, enabling a concise representation of an edit path or asset pipeline in a single token.

Parsing and interpretation follow a simple rule set: the sequence alternates between v and o segments, with each segment consisting of a letter followed by a single integer. In practice, each pair (v1, o1) or (v2, o2) is treated as an atomic operation—load the specified video version and apply the corresponding overlay. Some implementations may enhance the basic form with separators or additional tokens to express effects, color grades, or transitions, but the core idea remains a linear progression of version and overlay steps.

Applications and usage ideas include tagging, reproducibility, and lightweight documentation of edit paths in asset pipelines. The notation can be stored in metadata fields, mapped to structured descriptors such as JSON, or embedded in file names to facilitate quick lookup and collaboration. Its usefulness depends on having a defined schema within a project to avoid ambiguity.
