Video might be strictly out of scope for git, consider that not even youtube allows 'updating' a video.
This will sound absolutely insane, but maybe the source code for the video should be a script? Then the process of building produces a video which is a release artifact?

It already kinda is, but that just means you now need access to all the raw footage, and rendering a video file in high quality & good compression takes a long time.

This is relatively niche, but that's a thing for anime fan-encodes. Some groups publish their vapoursynth scripts, allow you to produce the same re-encoding (given you have the same source video). e.g.:
* https://github.com/LightArrowsEXE/Encoding-Projects
* https://github.com/Beatrice-Raws/encode-scripts
That is nowhere near practical for even basic use cases like a website or a mobile app.
