Cutting from film
Editing out is removing something during the editing process—cutting unwanted material from a recording, manuscript, or image.
A director edits out a scene that slows the pacing.
A photographer edits out blemishes.
The phrase implies deliberate exclusion: They edited out all mention of the scandal.
Sometimes used figuratively for selective memory or perception: He edits out anything that contradicts his worldview.
