True, which is why as much as possible should be done with raw video
data that never changes, and then text files that indicate the
alterations. The raw video data gets recorded once and then kept
as-is, and then your editing work gets saved into some textual form
(maybe a JSON file, maybe a series of commands) that you can plausibly
diff. The only time you actually add binary files is when you do
initial recording work, and a diff that affects those files should
always be suspicious.

(Obviously it would be horrendously inefficient to work from the raw
files all the time. But the edited files could be gitignored, since
they can be reconstructed from the originals; share them for
convenience, but don't sweat their loss.)
