clipout

Clipout is a term that can refer to several different concepts depending on the context. In the realm of audio and video editing, a "clipout" typically refers to a segment of audio or video that has been extracted or cut from a larger piece of media. This extracted segment is then often used independently or incorporated into a different project. The process of creating a clipout involves identifying the start and end points of the desired section and then isolating it.

In a broader sense, "clipout" can also be used colloquially to describe any action of removing or detaching something, akin to clipping something out from a larger whole. This might be seen in contexts outside of digital media, such as physically cutting out a coupon from a newspaper or a photograph from a magazine. The core idea remains the separation of a distinct part from a larger entity. The specific meaning is usually discernible from the surrounding conversation or text.
