What is an episode made of in each editor?
Each editor names its own building blocks. SceneMixer's episode holds segments, and each segment every take made of it; Character App assembles kept takes into Clips and Clips into the Episode; DirectStudio groups shots into scenes; Genra shows scene and shot-group cards; Pippit splits a script into scenes and episodes.

2For the cutting room
The names decide what can be redone. Where a take sits inside a segment, a better take replaces a worse one without touching the rest; where a scene is the smallest unit, a fix regenerates every shot in it. Reading an editor's vocabulary first saves learning this from a bill.
