unclipped

Unclipped refers to a state where something has not been secured or fastened with a clip. This term can be applied in various contexts, depending on the nature of the object or action.

In photography and videography, unclipped refers to footage that has not been subjected to the process of video editing, where segments are often "clipped" or removed to create a final product. Unclipped footage might be raw, unedited material directly from the camera.

In the realm of digital media and content creation, "unclipped" can also describe audio or video content that has not been shortened or excerpted into smaller, shareable clips. This could mean a full song, a complete podcast episode, or an entire presentation.

The term can also appear in more general contexts. For instance, a nail that is unclipped would be one that has not had its excess length removed by nail clippers. Similarly, a piece of paper that is unclipped has not been fastened to another document with a paperclip. The opposite of clipped, it simply denotes the absence of a clipping mechanism or action.
