splicing
Fusing film segments
Splicing is joining two things by interweaving or overlapping their ends.
Rope is spliced by untwisting strands and weaving them together.
Film editors splice footage by cutting and joining strips.
In genetics, gene splicing combines DNA from different sources.
Electricians splice wires by twisting or soldering connections.
We spent the afternoon splicing together old home movies.
