Netflix requires shot names showID_episode_scene_VFXID (series; episode 102 = season 1 episode 2) or showID_sequence_scene_VFXID (film), and a CSV Version Name equal to the full movie file name or the EXR base name without frame numbers. A community convention (ComfyUI README after Victor Perez) uses AAA_AAA_####_aaaa_aaa_v###.####.aaa with shots numbered in tens and FINAL for finals. The two differ; studios' own specs govern deliveries.
