... never-before-seen ...

Hello,

May I ask for your advice re. this expression?

... plus never-before-seen footage ...

Would it (also?) be correct to note
" ... plus never-seen-before footage ..."?

Thanks in advance for any hints.

Hi Frankinho, Welcome to English Forums. Thanks for joining us. The first expression is so well known that it would be strange indeed to hear a native speaker use the second one.

No because the parenthesis is used incorrectly I believe nor do I believe it`s correct to put 'also' in brackets because it leads to your next clause.
