In both Brazilian and American creative industries, unfinished videos are common in production workflows. In Brazil, content creators often share 'vídeos inacabados' on social media as behind-the-scenes content or work-in-progress updates. In the USA and NYC specifically, 'rough cuts' and 'WIPs' are industry standard terminology in film schools and professional production houses. The prevalence of digital content creation has normalized sharing unfinished work for feedback and collaboration purposes.
