How to use edit in a sentence?

  1. Laurie Mattaliano:

  3. Lloyd Webber:

    It's happening all around you, all in one go. It's all in one take, you can't edit it because everybody is always in a different position, it was a great experiment.

  4. Robert E. Lee:

    [W]e made a great mistake in the beginning of our struggle, and I fear, in spite of all we can do, it will prove to be a fatal mistake. We appointed all our worst generals to command our armies, and all our best generals to edit the newspapers.

  5. Jason Sudeikis:

    I didn’t edit during production just because it was just too big of a load to carry with the writing and the acting, but then you know, being a producer, I was there on set every day going behind-the-scenes with notes, supporting our directors and our DP’s. When I go and watch, editing now, it’s a thrill. That’s a credit to the work that the writers did, but then also the way these actors portray them.
