Timeline term: regeneration
Regeneration is running a generation again for the same unit, with the same or a changed prompt. It is how most AI editors fix a unit that came out wrong. From 8 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.
Whether a regeneration is charged is recorded under redo charge. Where vendors say, it is charged like the first generation.
A regeneration that fails is treated differently by some vendors, which refund it.
1How editors use it
| Editor | What the pages say | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| Crreo AI | Each regeneration returns three variations to choose from; past work stays in Tool History | Versions |
| DirectStudio AI | Specific shots are regenerated on the storyboard before any frame is finalized | One-unit redo |
| Filmora | Specific sections are regenerated by modifying the script | One-unit redo |
| Frameo | Shots generated on a canvas are built into a cut and exported | Unit |
| Genra | One card is regenerated without touching the rest, with a preview of the result first | One-unit redo |
| LTX Studio | Retake regenerates a 2 to 16 second moment inside a shot while keeping the footage around it | One-unit redo |
| Novi AI | Manual Mode regenerates any clip; the agent path takes revision requests on specific scenes | One-unit redo |
| OiiOii | Any single shot is regenerated on the canvas while the story around it stays intact | One-unit redo |
