You mean MJCOLE~1? The editing seems to be to splice two distinct video files together to cover a contiguous period of time, but there is a gap of coverage, despite a potential overlap in the durations. Seems like a milquetoast "release one video" request and so someone did a quick edit to join the two video files together.
The gap is between 11:59 and 12:00 AM, almost to the second. The explanation is the system restarts for maintenance at midnight, and that the missing minute was simply a normal gap in the system. Wired highlights that the pre-reset clip was long enough to more than cover the final gap, but they might have trimmed 'NO SIGNAL' sort of video that might have been in the recording as an artifact of the reset.
Frankly, if they asserted that much control over the surveillance video as to edit it, they could have just as easily faked it. There's hours of nothing but static interior shot with nothing other than the timestamp to claim anything specifically. In a way making a big deal of the gap only bolsters the credibility of footage that really shouldn't be taken to provide evidence one way or another about anything.
