What is a cut cel? |

The term cut cel can mean two different things. Perhaps the more common meaning these days is a cel that has been literally cut (trimmed) post-production. This is sometimes done by people who want to frame the cel at a different size or by people trying to force the image to be more centered. For clarity, some people refer to these as 'trimmed cels.'
However, cut cel can also mean a cel that was cut from production. It was originally created to appear on the screen as part of a sequence but for whatever reason the scene was dropped or shortened and the cel was 'cut out of the finished product.'
