recutting

Trimming once more

Recutting is the process of cutting something again, typically to reshape or improve it.

A diamond may be recut to maximize brilliance or remove flaws.

Film editors engage in recutting when they re-edit footage for a new version: The director's cut involved significant recutting of the theatrical release.

Gemstones, keys, and recordings are commonly recut.
