outtakes

Cut film segments

Outtakes are portions of a recording—film, video, or audio—that don't make it into the final version.

They're often mistakes, flubbed lines, or technical failures: The DVD includes a reel of outtakes.

Outtakes from comedies frequently show actors breaking character or laughing, released as bonus content.

The word sometimes extends metaphorically to any discarded material from a creative project.
