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

Timeline term: take

A take is one attempt at a unit. In film, several takes of a shot are recorded and the best is used; in AI editors a take is one generation of the same unit. From 8 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.

Fig. 1 Definition written for the register; editor wording quoted in the table.

Editors that talk in takes usually offer a choice between them: generate several, keep one. One editor builds its whole episode from kept takes.

Whether unused takes stay available afterwards is a separate question, recorded under versions.
