« BACK TO DICTIONARY INDEX

(v.) In relation to audio and video, to cut cleanly and bind together pieces of magnetic tape from different sources in order to achieve a seamless whole. Before digital media, splicing was the only way to edit audio and video content. Modern digital editing equipment allows the user to choose segments from various sources instantly, paste them together in memory, and change the result if it is not desirable.
