they would actually cut and tape the film back together---it'd be run during "dailies" which showed the film shot that day...an editor would cut and splice the film back together.....ditto for the final product. Sometimes the end was better in the beginning, etc so they'd just cut it, splice it, tape it and there ya go.

They would cut and splice the actual film using a cutting machine in the modern era before computer video editing but before that they primarily used a razor knife and a special tool that would melt the edge of the plastic film back together leaving (as Tyler Durden would say) cigarette burns on the corner of the film where ever it was spliced on many older movies you can still see them when playing them back unless they where edited out when the movie was copied to its current media.

Thank goodness for digital video editing!!! In the "old days" they used 35mm film, and edits were cut and spliced at the frame level.
A great advantage of digital editing is that films are completed in much short a period of time. That might explain why now there are a handful of films being released every week!!!! so many movies, so little time!!!!!

Wesley ... Yes, the film being edited was actually cut. There's a lot to know about the art of film editing and if you need to know more, see my link below.
