How to merge video files
Use Video Merger to put two or more local video clips into one file. Add the clips, drag them into the order you want, then choose the output format, resolution, frame rate, and quality before creating the result. The merge runs in your browser without uploading the clips.
Put clips in the order you choose
Open Video Merger and add the local clips. Drag them on the timeline, then check the preview to confirm the sequence. An opening clip, a main recording, and a closing clip can become one file in that order.
- Add the local clips for the merged video.
- Drag clips to reorder them on the timeline.
- Set optional fade-through-black boundaries between clips.
- Choose the output format, resolution, frame rate, and quality.
- Review the stream-copy versus re-encode decision and the audio/stream compatibility report.
Set the output before creating the file
Video Merger lets you choose the format, resolution, frame rate, and quality before it creates the merged video. It also shows a stream-copy or re-encode decision, so you can see how it plans to handle the video and audio streams.
Choose whether clip boundaries use a fade-through-black effect. Leave it off for a direct cut between clips, or turn it on when you want a dark transition. The audio/stream compatibility report lets you inspect the inputs before creating the file.
Use Video Merger for separate clips
For a recording split into several local takes, add the takes, arrange them on the timeline, and review the sequence before creating one video. Set the output quality with the other output choices.
For an opening, main recording, and closing clip, drag each part into its intended position. Add fade-through-black boundaries when the sections should have a dark transition between them.
When footage comes from different sources, check the audio/stream compatibility report first. The stream-copy versus re-encode decision describes the planned handling of the streams.
