What happens inside one AI-made episode: units, redos, versions and the cut

Is there an editing timeline at all?

Four editors say there is not. HeyGen says no editing timeline, Higgsfield says no timeline and no post, Pexo says no editor to open, and DomoAI sends assembly to your own editor. From 4 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.

1In the vendors' words

several approved clips cut together in your own editor

DomoAI, AI drama generator page

No cameras, no crew, no editing timeline.

HeyGen, AI Movie Maker page

No timeline, no post.

Higgsfield, Cinema Studio 4.0 page

No timelines, no keyframes, no editor to open.

Pexo, micro drama page

2For the cutting room

No timeline means changes are asked for rather than made. It suits a writer who never wants to open an editor, and it means a fix is another generation.

Across all 28 editors on whether a finished cut can be partly replaced: Timeline, 10; Recomposite, 7; By request, no editor, 4; None said, 7.

Pages silent on whether a finished cut can be partly replaced: Character App, MagicLight, Pippit, PopShort AI, Scenes AI, Toonkit and Topview Drama Studio.

3From an episode pipeline

The episode pipeline SceneMixer documents has its own answer to “Is there an editing timeline at all”; two lines from its pages:

SceneMixer separates the script language from the production language: the output (episode outlines, storyboards, on-screen text) follows your interface language, and target-region localization adapts character names, casting, and scenery for Western, East Asian, Southeast Asian, or Latin American audiences.

An AI short drama is a serialized show of 60–120 second vertical episodes whose cast, sets and footage are generated by AI. Making one takes six steps: analyze the script into episodes, lock a consistent cast with reference art, localize for your market, write and edit storyboards, generate each 4–15 second shot, then composite and publish.
