1In the vendors' words

In the History panel, you can find all previous versions of the video and the prompts you used to generate them.

2For the cutting room

Kept versions make a redo safe to try. When they are not kept, a worse redo costs the old result as well as the credits.

Across all 28 editors on how many versions are kept: History kept, 8; Pick from a set, 6; Undo history, 1; None said, 13.

Pages silent on how many versions are kept: DirectStudio AI, Filmora, Genra, ImagineArt, Novi AI, OiiOii, Pexo, Pippit, PopShort AI, Scenes AI, Story.com, StoryShort and TrendShort.

3How one pipeline handles it

The episode pipeline SceneMixer documents has its own answer to “Does the tool keep earlier versions”; two lines from its pages:

The second trim replaces the first trimmed version; the generated clip stays in Version History.

SceneMixer, Trim a Clip: Cut the Start or the End Without Regenerating — “Can I trim the same clip twice?” (read 2026-10-13)

Paste a scene or a short script and SceneMixer gives you a storyboard — numbered shots with framing and seconds — and then a moving version of each segment, which you can join into a rough cut of the scene.
