a type of film editing technique where a portion of a shot is replaced by a different shot in a way that is seamless and appears continuous to the viewer
A substitution splice is an editing technique where a section of film is replaced with a different shot or scene to correct a mistake, update the content, or alter the story. This method involves cutting out a portion of the original film and seamlessly inserting new footage in its place. Substitution splices are used to make improvements or changes without re-shooting an entire scene, allowing for adjustments in the final cut while maintaining continuity.
