Can I get some tips on how to stay balanced on a rail in order to pedal off it.

A solid pop leads to a good slide. Once you get on the rail look at the end of it.

The main thing that helps for me is old pop onto the rail and getting low

Same thing as scissoring...it's used when you want to spin on or off a feature...switch ups fs/bs...270s on/off....450s on/off

We use to always refer to popping up like 3 ft from the end of the rail and kind of daffying on the rail as pedaling. Never heard of it in this context.

Pedaling is the same thing as scissoring.

If you tell someone who doesn't know how to hit rails that they need to scissor their skis, it sounds like you're saying they should cross their tips, which would be bad. If you tell them to make the same motion as stepping on the gas or brake pedal, it makes more sense. Therefore, its becoming the preferred term people use to explain how to grip a rail.

I have a question... So basically you have 2 variations for scissoring/pedaling (whatever) both ways. For example if you want to spin to the left you can apply pressure either with your left heel or your right toe and vice versa if you want to spin to the right, right?

If that's the case, which variation is preffered or it really doesn't matter and it all comes down to you and which way you find it more comfortable to do?

for me it just took a while getting comfortable sliding rails really well, and the ability to pedal or scissor to spin out/swap came later, op it'll come and feel natural eventually

Good pop onto it - Make sure you lock on.

That's technically correct but just focus on pedaling with your front foot for either direction.
