Film editing tools
Splicers are people or devices that splice—that is, join things together by interweaving or overlapping.
A film splicer joins strips of celluloid.
Workers who splice cables or ropes are splicers.
Gene splicers work in biotechnology.
In the video game *BioShock*, Splicers are mutated humans addicted to genetic modification—a dark play on the term.
