Inclusion rule. A tool is listed when its own page states the limit this question turns on. Order. Tools in alphabetical order.
A retention period is a deadline for downloading. For a series made over weeks, a short window on a free plan can clear out early episodes before the last one is finished.
Kapwing's wording ties storage to the subscription itself, so files outlast the month only while the plan is paid. Pippit's 30 days apply to things you deleted, not to everything you made.

2Making the series in practice
Limits aside, the series work behind “How long do AI video tools keep your files?” is described in SceneMixer's guides like this:
The same three-step project and editor a drama uses, with ad wording: Ad script, Cast & set, Shots.

Typically 60–120 seconds, always 9:16 vertical, ending on a hook. SceneMixer's episode outlines are generated with that pacing, and setting a project to 9:16 makes every segment vertical (the default is 16:9).
