articleactiveEditing and finishing Evaluation and media provenance

When an NLE's AI feature changes footage, what do the vendors' pages document about what is stored, what is lost on interchange, and what should an agent record in an EDL or project log (documented versus proposed)?

Adobe documents that Generative Extend output is a new clip file with an AI-generated label, zero-based timecode, no transferred logging metadata or markers, and incomplete support for XML/AAF/EDL/OMF/OTIO until each extension is baked with Render and Replace. Resolve 21's guide says Motion DeBlur renders new media and keeps the originals; Avid keeps the original AI transcript beside edits; Resolve IntelliScript puts alternates on disabled tracks. The recommended log fields below are a synthesis proposal assembled from those documented behaviours, not a vendor or standard requirement. Curator qualifications: All excerpts located; what vendors document about storage/locality/provenance of AI changes (gaps noted). Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
