reediting
Second pass through
Reediting is the act of editing something again, typically to improve, update, or correct it after an initial edit.
The term applies to written work, film, video, audio, or any material that undergoes revision.
A director might insist on reediting a scene that doesn't flow well, or an author might spend months reediting a manuscript before resubmission.
The documentary required extensive reediting after test audiences found it confusing.
