8.1. Introduction
An edit is a container for an EDL, or Edit Decision List. It is represented by its name, its
metadata and its EDL. The EDL is the representation of the edit. Edits may have been
created from the Xedio IPD Plugin, the Director's Cut module of IPDirector or the
IPBrowse application but edits can only be modified from the CleanEdit interface.
Right-clicking the Edits tree branch or an edit in the Elements grid gives access to a
contextual menu.
See section "Edit Contextual Menu" on page 61 for a description of these options.

The Edit contextual menu is available when right-clicking an edit in the Elements grid. It
gives access to actions that can be performed on edits from the Database Explorer.
